It is absolutely illogical & absurd to look at a computer and believe that it had no designer... that all the components somehow one day just happened to come together and assemble themselves to make a computer. And it is absolutely illogical and absurd to look at human beings, which are far more complex than any computer, and believe that they had no Designer... that all our cells somehow one day just happened to come together and assemble themselves to make a human being. If you have no Designer or Maker, than neither does your computer, car, cell phone, iPod, or watch - those things all just happened to come about by random and amazing coincidences... they have no designer or maker whatsoever.
Take just a few moments to reflect upon...
The miracle of birth, the beauty of sunrise at the beach, the body's ability to heal itself when cut, the fact that your eye is actually seeing this upside down, and the reality that while you're reading this your heart continues to beat without you having to consciously tell it to do so. And people actually think that such amazing things all happen by chance?
Short project for you to do:
For one week, try to convince yourself that everything you see is just an accident. No one made your school or your bus, no one made your home, and no one made your toothbrush - everything just came about by chance. Try convincing others also.
What about evolution?
What about it? No evolutionist can say with certainty what was at the beginning. Have you ever noticed their fondness for words such as "perhaps, possibly, it is believed that," & so on? If the foundation is bad, so is the house. Plus the fact that their theory of evolution lacks millions of transitional fossils of animals that should've existed according to their theory - "inbetweeners," animals half-cat & half-dog for example. And despite all their incredibly expensive technology, equipment, and research labs nowadays, they still can't create life. But they expect us to believe that some kind of gases or chemicals (and where did those come from?) somewhere, somehow, in some fashion, evolved into you & me? L O L !

Truth 1
Truth 2
In "Mere Christianity," the brilliant author C.S. Lewis wrote that as humans, we have desires - desires which are able to be fulfilled. For instance, you feel hunger - well that's okay, because there's something called 'food' which you can eat. You get thirsty - and that too is natural, because there are things like water which can fulfill your thirst.
"So what?", you may be asking. "What on earth does that have to do with eternity?" Lots! Because when one takes a look at both past and current civilizations, we see that all people everywhere have the desire to live eternally. But why? We only have desires for things which can be in some way fulfilled. Not many people have the desire to smack themselves in the head with an iron - nor do many individuals long to shove knives into their own eardrums. The reason that we don't have such desires is because there is no fulfillment which our body needs resulting from such idiotic actions.
However, when we look at every civilization - & span the vast pages of history - we find a very remarkable thing: almost every person, in every culture, greatly longs for life after death. And not only do they long for such a thing, the majority also believe it exists in some fashion.
So as C.S. Lewis pointed out, if basically all people everywhere have this same desire, that must mean that somewhere such a thing actually exists. For once again, we only have desires for things which have fulfillment. Sure, we can dream about what it would be like if we could fly, or have 30 hours per day, but those are just private wants which differ greatly from person to person. But regarding eternity, we find that every person on the planet greatly longs for - and more often than not, truly believes in - some kind of life which is eternal.
As Lewis pointed out, if we can't find the fulfillment to such a desire here on earth, the most probable explanation is not that it doesn't exist... it's that it exists elsewhere.
Truth 3
i am guilty
i like to think i'm a good person... but if i'm real with myself, i know i'm not. all the hatred, jealousy, pride, and lust within - it just doesn't seem to go away.
The world likes to say that we are basically good people who sometimes do bad things. But let's be honest: the opposite is true. We are bad people who sometimes do good things... and even then, our motives are often bad just the same.
i know that God exists, and that He must be Fair and Good. But if that's true, then i'm undone... because i'm anything but fair or good. Sure, people may praise me for what they see on the outside, but they have no idea about all the wickedness on the inside. i can fool people, but i know i can't fool God... He looks at the heart. And that's a terrifying thought to realize, because it means that He sees all the evil that dwells within my heart & mind.
It's like i'm shackled into this life of hopelessness. No one truly understands me, and i don't even understand myself. i want to do what's right, but time and time again i find myself walking down that same road to sin and destruction. O, Who will free me from this body of death - this existence of failing, chasing after wind, and repeating of sin after sin? There must be a Deliverer somewhere.
Society teaches me that i'm just a mistake - a fortunate one albeit, but a mistake nonetheless in this evolutionary game they call "life." Am i really nothing more than a monkey? Am i just an animal? Or am i a human being, made by God, with a conscience and a soul?
They try to tell me that i've only been born to live & die, but i just can't accept their answer - 'cos it's just a wretched lie.
Truth 4
Jesus
Jesus - The Name Which sparks either the deepest love and gratitude in the heart of man, or produces the most vile hatred and loathing imaginable. Jesus was very clear about Who He said He was, and so let's throw out all that 'tolerant' nonsense people give lip-service to: that Jesus was a 'great man and teacher,' but nothing more.
What are the facts about Jesus? Jesus Was (and Is) a Real Person. He lived upon this earth. He was a Jew, and He lived in Israel. Jesus was born, killed, and resurrected exactly the way the prophecies written down hundreds of years beforehand had foretold.
Jesus did miracles, and was recognized by the people as a Man sent from God. He healed the sick, forgave sinners, and made the religious angry because He saw through their hypocrisy and false religion. Jesus was crucified for our sins, and bore all of our sins upon Himself on the cross. Even while on the cross, Jesus prayed for His enemies - that The Father would forgive them.
Jesus died, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. He later returned to The Father, and He has promised that He's coming back again. Are you ready? What will you say when He judges you for all that is in your heart? We will all stand before God - either as guilty sinners, heading to eternal Hell, or as cleansed and forgiven saints, heading to eternal Heaven. The choice is ours.
Jesus promises eternal life to all who believe in Him - to those confessing Him as their Lord, and who turn to Him in repentance. As Jesus Himself taught, He Is The Only Way to God... there is no other path. Is that exclusive? Yes. Truth often is.
Who Is Jesus Christ to you? He Is either your Lord and Savior, or He's not. There's only two sides... whose side are you on? Jesus said that if you're not with Him, you're against Him. What is your choice - whose side are you on?

The Bible
The Bible is the word of God. When we read it, it's God speaking to us. To know God's word is to know God. The Holy Scriptures are like a love letter from God to us. Since God made us, He obviously knows what's best for us, just as car companies know what's best for their cars more than the cars themselves do.
Many people don't like The Bible because they have never read it for themselves. They rely on half-baked theories that they heard their favorite skeptics proclaim. They incorrectly think that The Bible is full of errors and mistakes, because that's what they were spoon-fed in college. Other people don't like The Bible because they view it as "narrow-minded" or "oppressive." Well, truth more often than not is very exclusive - we may not like a certain truth, but it would be stupid to deny its existence simply because we find it too "restricting." It's like this: let's say I went to the store and bought a gallon of milk. After about a week, I checked the expiration date and found out that it was only guaranteed to be fresh until tomorrow. But there's still more than half a gallon left! How narrow-minded of the milk company to set a specific date! I might not be particularly fond of that expiration date, but I would be wise to abide by it and not try to drink that same milk a month down the road! Still others think that their own personal beliefs create and shape reality; they don't believe in The Bible and so, in their eyes, that makes it untrue. Unfortunately for them, beliefs do not change facts. You can refuse to believe that electricity is real - and you're entitled to your own opinion - but your opinion does not change reality. You can disbelieve in electricity all you want, but if you shove your car key into an electrical outlet, you're going to be in for quite a "shock." Reality is not determined by personal beliefs or opinions.
Time and time again, The Bible has been proven to be historically accurate. Factor in the many, many specific Biblical prophecies fulfilled, and even the average observer can recognize that The Bible is no ordinary Book. It is what it claims to be - the word of God.
Truth 6
Abortion is murder
Abortion is a very emotional issue, and it's one that gets the crowd riled up - one way or the other. But we must remember that when we make laws, they cannot be based upon emotion... they must be based upon fact. And here are the facts:
Medically and scientifically speaking, it is a proven and confirmed fact that life begins at conception (fertilization). This first cell already contains full instructions on the new person's sex, size of shoe, eye color, and so on. Abortion "terminates" this living, growing, human being. (We normally call such an act murder... at least if the victim is on this side of the womb.) Abortion is murder because it kills a living, growing, human being. The unborn baby's heart begins beating at about 18 days. Abortion is legal in the US during all nine months of pregnancy. Since abortion was legalized in the US in 1973, over 48,000,000 babies have been aborted. In 2005, over 3,300 babies were aborted every day in the US. At least 93% of all abortions are done for social reasons, i.e. the mother "doesn't feel ready to be a mother yet," etc.
Our president enthusiastically supports abortion, although in America today, almost as many African-American children are aborted as are born. A black baby is three times more likely to be murdered in the womb than a white baby. Since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent. Twice as many African-Americans have died from abortion than have died from AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer, and heart disease combined. Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history. Planned Parenthood operates the nation's largest chain of abortion clinics and almost 80 percent of its facilities are located in minority neighborhoods. About 13 percent of American women are black, but they submit to over 35 percent of the abortions. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was an openly racist feminist who favored eugenics. The president-elect supports Planned Parenthood, & has even spoken there. He supports abortion on demand, extremely late-term abortions, & even infanticide: http://www.blackgenocide.org/planned.html
It's absolutely sickening and repulsive that many Americans - even many of the "conservatives" - care more about our economy and form of government than they do that thousands of American babies are slaughtered every day. God's wrath cometh. America, repent!
