Pictured here is the view out our window of some of the crowd gathering to worship Mary today at the Orthodox Church. Today is one of several annual holidays in her honor. If they were to set aside a day to honor Jesus (they don’t), unfortunately there would be no such crowd to gather.
It’s the weekend. Have a laugh.
A youtube video that I’m not linking to because some language in it is offensive, had a situation where a Creation Science writer had offered a quarter million dollars for verifiable evidence that evolution was true. Also on the show with him was an evolutionary scientist, who ranted and complained that the reason the host of the program had failed to win the money was because the creation scientists set the standard of proof unreasonably high.
The evidence that the host had just provided in order to demand payment of the money was this (you be the judge):
Host: Do you ever eat bananas?
Creation Scientist: Yes, of course.
Host: Pay up.
The host was a comedian who was playing a character and was joking.
The university professor who responded immediately by complaining that the Creation Scientist hadn’t ever given the money to anyone because he set the standard of proof unreasonably high was serious. As the interview continued, he didn’t even make any attempt to provide a piece of evidence for evolution, though.
Briana dances to her “Uncle” Ajay’s worship song “Above All Names” before celebrating her fourth birthday with a princess party.
Can you really be sure that God is there and that you have found salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life in Christ? Or do you just have to go through your life hoping such things are true but not really knowing? Today’s message at the church from the book of 1 John looks at these questions. The message is in English and Romanian. You can listen to the audio recording here.
The message was being preached at 37 years to the hour from the time I was born; and it is the message I consider it my life’s purpose to proclaim. I hope you will listen to it and take God’s word to heart.
Preaching a special message tomorrow at the church, Lord-willing, on 1 John 1–the basis for our assurance of salvation in Christ. Many young disciples struggle with fear and doubt, and we pray that they will know that Christ is able to save completely those who trust and walk in fellowship with Him. Recording will probably be posted here tomorrow afternoon.
Briana is now safely back home from her vacation at her grandparents’ place in Slobozia. She had a good time, and she is happy to be back, as we are happy to have her. Tuesday, we’ll celebrate her fourth birthday.
