This message opens with a discussion about suffering and dying loved ones, and then considers the unique features that God designed into elephants and closes with why God does things like He does. It ends with the unusual final prayer which is normally edited out but in this case has several helpful thoughts in dealing with terminally ill loved ones.
This is the next to the last message that studies the genius and individual characteristics in His creation that God gave us, so that our faith would be supported by infallible proofs but that are dismissed by evolutionists, and if taught at all, are shown to be the work of random chance or the mythical Mother Nature. Amazingly they ridicule faith as being a crutch for the needy without realizing the blind faith required to believe that life emerged from a massive flaming sterile ball of fire they named the Big Bang, which happened by accident in a perfect vacuum without oxygen, fuel and ignition.
Salient Points: Sorrow not, Wheat and Tares, God’s view of the death of believers, In the presence of God, Focused on others while dying, When church services are boring, More to life than working and suffering, The shape of our soul, Purchasing from God, Elephants size, Ears, Trunk, Feet, Memory, Talking with animals, Impressing God, Why God does the things the way He does them, Impressed by God, Heartfelt prayer for those suffering.

This message begins with a description of the common Earthworm and then moves on into the biblical differences between serpents and worms. Then goes on to study the seldom if ever discussed connections of the personal pronoun in Mark 9 where is says, “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.” It closes out considering how we as born again believers are like children who consider themselves joint owners in their parent’s assets rather than recognizing who the owners truly are.

This message considers how evolution became the mainstream in education, and why people believe in it so willingly.
Over 500 years before Jesus Christ was born, Daniel wrote this about the last days, “many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased”. In less than 200 years, man has progressed from horseback to self driving cars, from ships that needed wind to push them to ships that navigate using satellites and are powered with 100,000 hp engines, from envying birds to around 100,000 flights daily. As far as the increase in knowledge, just turn on your smartphone and the amount of knowledge you can find and still fit in your pocket is staggering.
Daniel’s eleven words in the Bible stand as just a small sample of proof of the supernatural accuracy of scripture, and yet people still choose to believe that everything that exists came from a massive explosion with no explanation of where that came from or give us any logical reason for our existence.

This message considers the scripture that says “wherefore comfort one another with these words”. It encourages us to comfort others who have lost of loved ones that have been born again.
There is a great difference between loosing someone who experienced the new birth and the shallow hopes we have for those who had not accepted the only cure for the reason we die. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” Romans 5:12
There is little difference in appearance between people who have been born again and those who think they have. Or even those who have chosen to not believe. Jesus spoke of this in Matthew chapter thirteen when He spoke of the wheat and the tares. The difference is internal. It is about a supernatural change that cannot be brought about by the will of man. It is a transformation that is experienced when God adds a new nature to an individual. We can’t decide to dislike things we enjoyed and start enjoying things we disliked. We may put on an act that makes it appear that we have changed by simple obedience to a system or the teachings of influential individuals, but anyone who has experienced the actual reversal of desires that come when God changes them, knows the difference. It is as though they have become a different person inside. That is exactly what Jesus was talking about when He said “Ye must be born again”. These people have a new personality that is only observed in their behavior. They don’t force themselves into a new life of obedience, like putting on an act. They experience real joy when they follow God’s will.

God has set up this present creation for us to make our own choices. From Eve until now each of us choose who we will become; not only now but for eternity. Even though many blame circumstances for their failures, the reality is that a great number stand as proof of those who have overcome conditions much worse than those who have tried and failed; and even managed to help others along their way.
These are people who have met adversity with perseverance and ultimately succeeded. These people are looked up to and admired. An example is a war hero who saved lives at great risk of their own, and maybe even suffered permanently from their efforts. Many find pleasure in honoring them in various ways, even to the extent of providing free homes.
In Psalm 100 verse 2 it reads, “Serve the LORD with gladness”. Unfortunately the vast majority of believers serve because of the need, duty, or a sense of guilt. None of these produce gladness; oh we may feel a sense of greater worth if we meet a need but that is a self serving motive.
How can we serve with gladness? In the same way those who honor heroes serve? It is a matter of honor for us to have an opportunity to do something for someone one who has done great things.
Jesus Christ is a true hero in every way. Hebrews 12:1-4 says; “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,... but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9;
This repentance is available to all. Everyone who seeks God to repent of their sinful condition with a contrite heart will gain God’s favor and the salvation that Jesus purchased with his sinless life and obedient death on the cross. “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” Philippians 2:8
Jesus had a choice and so do each one of us as individuals. In our short lives this is the most important choice everyone makes because the results are eternal.

This message looks at how the transition into the last days has taken place without being obvious. It opens with thoughts of being mad at God for not getting what we want, and then moves into how life has changed in 100 years, and closes with where the energy comes from in a nuclear reaction.
From Genesis Chapter four until the invention of the automobile life on earth had remained basically unchanged. The vast majority of people traveled only the distance that a horse could take them and back in a day, this became there world, but in just one hundred years man went from a fast horse all the way to the moon.
Just as the proverbial frog in slowly warming water, we see the change as a benefit. The cold frog enjoyed the benefits of warm water until he lost the ability to react to the impending danger.
The last days are marked by perilous times and evil men. One preacher said, every bad thing on earth is a good thing twisted. This is to say that men will find a way to use, or corrupt everything possible to their own advantage. The Tribulation will be a time of controlling mankind by the most evil beings in existence, namely the Anti Christ and his followers. No doubt he will use the most advanced technology in his efforts to enforce his will.
As bad as all this will be, the believers are told in Luke 12:28, “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh”. For us the word to focus on is “begin”. It has begun, now the question is are you fearful or believing?

This message looks at what God told us about his lack of tolerance in his dealing with disobedience and begins using force when he rules on earth during his thousand year reign.
From the time God created Adam and Eve he stepped back and allowed his creation to engage in all manner of evil. He could have stopped Cain from killing his brother Able but instead all God did was mark him as an outcast and told him to do right and he would be accepted. When King David committed adultery with Uriah’s wife and then got him killed to cover his unforgivable sin, which carried the death sentence, God allowed David to live anyway. Even the best Christians disobey as we fail to love God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our strength and with all our minds, as Jesus commanded us, (see Luke 10:27). Some may believe they have accomplished this but they have underestimated God’s holiness and have overestimated their own.
During the thousand years that our Holy God rules earth he only gives one warning and then eliminates those who disobey. This may sound harsh but God will establish a glorious time of plenty for all the people and animals and protect good people from evil doers.

These messages on the uniqueness of God’s creation are presented for two reasons. First to draw attention to God’s amazing genius on display all around us, and second is to expose people to the massive amounts of evidence available that prove the impossibility of the accidental existence of life on earth. “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:” Romans 1:20
In this message four of God’s creations are considered that display the complexity that was incorporated as God spoke, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind”. He didn’t import them from some other place; it was a new creation for this current world that he was re-creating, a fresh creation that would house beings made in his own image. The absolute genius involved in creating by the spoken word is beyond mortal man’s ability to understand and that’s the primary reason to reject it. When people don’t believe they close their mind to evidence that they haven’t personally experienced.
King David wrote, “O taste and see that the LORD is good”. This is the perfect example of “trust first then you will see”. Just try to get a child to try to taste something that they don’t like the look of, and they will refuse adamantly. Why do children automatically reject an offer like that? Had the parent or guardian tried to trick them previously by lying to them? Maybe they just didn’t like the look of it. Maybe they actually had tried something similar and didn’t like it, but the only way to know is taste and see. It is just like that with spiritual things, they can’t be communicated with words, and they are only proven by personal experience.

This message discusses ten photos taken by the Hubble telescope and comments that were made by astronomers about what they observed. It also includes what God tells us about the Heavens that He created.
King David wrote In Psalm 19:1-3, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard”. According to this the Heavens tell us much about the being who created them. Its size is the answer to how big is God. The humbling feelings of awe and wonder we experience when we pause to consider the Heavens are how we will feel in God’s presence. The beauty and variety are about God’s personality. The reason He made them so we could observe them was to stir our curiosity as individuals and to seek after God. “He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)
(This message has been the most difficult of all to re-master. It has been plagued by interruptions and technical issues that were impossible to repair. The last 3 minutes still contain some unrepairable anomalies that are a distraction but the message is still clear enough to understand.)

There are thousands of books for sale on how to get what we want from God but few ask the question, why God doesn’t answer more of our prayers. Could God answer more often? If He can than why doesn’t He? The short answer is that He doesn’t want to.
As small children we were totally dependent on our parents or guardians for everything. Oh, we never thought about the basic needs like food and shelter or even where the money came from to provide the luxuries in life such as entertainment or comfort. Our primary focus in life was trying to get what we wanted, when we wanted it. Our first effort as a baby was to cry and the volume, as we quickly learned was to communicate the seriousness of the need. As we grew, we developed much more effective and subtle ways to get our way. It has been said that children are the best sales people on earth, they never take no for an answer and continually find ways to adjust their sales presentation for better results.
Prayer is the way we present our requests to God, and much like children we look for ways to influence God to our way of thinking, but is that what God is looking for, just a more effective presentation, or are we missing something more important here? This message addresses that very thing.
