A Thought From Our Pastor: Proof Of God Is Everywhere.Romans 1:20“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” To doubt that God exist is about the most ignorant thing one can do. I believe that everyone, even the most avid atheist believes in some sort of god. There have been doubters of God’s existence almost since the beginning of time. People who doubt Gods existence and Deity do so because they cannot accept God and who He is; God calls them “fools”. Psalms 14:1 "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." I must always agree with God’s word so I also must agree that they are fools. The entire idea of evolution is built on a couple of false facts, (a.) where did the material that first existed come from, and (b.) where did life come from. Two questions any foolish non-believer in God cannot answer and never will. God said in verse 20 that “the invisible things of him” that is His being, deity, and power are clearly seen in creation. One should have no issue in seeing God in all creation and to understand that He existed before anything, and that all things came from Him. There is no other just or logical reason or explanation of these facts. God is the only one who can explain everything in complete detail because He is the creator of it all. The Psalmist wrote it this way in Psalms 33:6 - 9 "By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. (7.) He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. (8.) Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. (9.) For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast." God made the heavens and the earth from nothing but the words from His voice, then He made other things from those things. It is for this reason that the Psalmist said “Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.” But they do not because like fools they would rather believe a theory that something came from nothing rather than a creator. This is why God called them fools. The Psalmist concluded “For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast." Now I ask, where did Darwin say it all come from. There is no logical reason that man cannot see Gods hand in creation. God said “…the creation of the world are clearly seen…” that is coming from God’s wonderful voice and hand. His power and glory are also clearly seen in that He and His power is from where the entire solar system gets its power. When people thing of God they think of an old wise man but God is neither old or a man He is an eternal being that never changes from what He was in eternity past before creation. "In the beginning God..." Genesis 1:1 nothing else and no one else just God. It was from there He created everything else that exist. So for one to doubt God, or to doubt where everything including life come from just look around and think, it is clearly seen. Psalms 148:7 - 13 "Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: (8) Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word: (9) Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: (10) Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: (11) Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: (12) Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: (13) Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven."

A Thought From Charles H. Spurgeon: A Challenge For The Pastors If the Holy Spirit does not come, and give spiritual life, we may preach until we have not another breath left, but we shall not raise from the tomb of sin even the soul of a little child, or bring a single sinner to the feet of Christ. Look sir, you may study your sermon; you may examine the original of your text; you may critically follow it out in all its bearings; you may go and preach it with great correctness of expression; but you cannot quicken a soul by that sermon. You may go up into your pulpit; you may illustrate, explain, and enforce the truth; with mighty rhetoric you may charm your hearers; you may hold them spellbound; but no eloquence of yours can raise the dead. Another voice than yours must be heard! Other power than that of your thought or persuasion must be brought into the work, or it will not be done. You may organize your societies, you may have excellent methods, you may diligently pursue this course and that; but when you have done all, nothing comes of it if the effort stands by itself. Only as the Spirit of God shall bless men by you, shall they receive a blessing through you. Whatever your ability or experience, it is the Spirit of God, who must bless your labour. We are nothing; you are nothing. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts," is a message that should make us lie in the dust, and utterly despair of doing anything in and of ourselves, seeing that all the power is of God alone. It will do us good to be very empty, to be very weak, to be very distrustful of self, and so to go about out Master's work.
