This watch, what would it take for me to convince you that it made itself? did it all by itself. Would you ever believe that? And this world is run more meticulous than this. This is set according to the world. Listen, this watch right here. Made by man, but it will never continually, for a million years, keep working. It did not make itself. This world did not make itself. Now God says, if If you’re reasonable, you’ll have to reason the world could not make itself.

The world cannot do it. You have never seen anything come from nothing and you never will. The world is here. Now you made it or I made it and I didn’t make it. Did you do it? Oh, somebody else made it. And he has to be eternal. The other one is the teleological argument, which is design, because there is design in this world and everything that we have. You talk about whether it’s the animals, the plants, people, the thing that we just happened, there was a design behind all of this.

As the Bible says, he that made the ear, shall he not hear? He that made the eye, shall he not see? But you and I, if we believed in evolution or supposed to believe that the eye came from a light sensitive spot like a freckle. Why don’t you glad that it didn’t develop in the city of your pants every time you sit on you go blind? Isn’t it wonderful that they developed right there? And why would a blob that has no brain develop an eye in which to see when it doesn’t know there’s anything to see?

And what good is the eye without light waves? good as the ear without some waves. But how does it know there’s such a thing to hear if it doesn’t have it, it’s stupidity. That’s why God says, when you don’t believe in God, you’re a fool. All these professors and all these colleges and universities that believe in evolution and teach that there is no God, they are a fool. And if they don’t like it, you tell them I work here at 4811 George wrote, and I’ll debate it with any of them.

I can make a monkey out of them. Anthropological argument. Anthropos means man. The logical argument of a man. What causes a man to have a morality? What causes us to think that some things are right and some things are wrong? Have you ever seen dogs say that, you know, that wasn’t right. That was my bone. And you took my bone. That was not right. They don’t go by morality. And when you stop and think about morals, where does that desire come from to do right?

The desire to do right come from what? Well, you see, we were just oozing the slime of the Nile. And all of a sudden there we were, there was a one-silled amoeba. And then we were doing a long fine in osmosis and just splitting up and staying happy, splitting up and splitting up. Sooner or later you got to talk about the sex life of the amoeba, how to split up and still stay happy. How does it make it work?

How does it make it work? It is stupid. You say, well, I’m an agnostic. Well, blessed be God. That means you’re without knowledge. That’s what it means without knowledge. You don’t know. I do know. And I don’t think God’s children ought to take a backseat to anybody in this world. And I feel like we have to be intimidated by anybody. I don’t care how many degrees they got after their name. If you know the wisdom of this, you’re not going to be able to be a person.

book. You’re smarter than the average bear. If you do believe in God and creation, you’re far ahead of them because they don’t have the answers and we do. Where does the desire or the knowledge come from that man is aware that there is a God? You can take people all over the earth and little babies and they’ll grow up and believe that there’s a God and they’ll have all kind of religions all over the world. Atheism is taught after they get sick of a religion.

You’re not born as an atheist. You will know that there is a God and you’ll feel guilty when you disobey mommy and daddy. Try to get away with it if you can. Run and hide if you can get away with campaigner. But you’ll learn. And the Bible teaches all of this. And it’s so important to understand. But the one that I like the best of all of these arguments and their good arguments is the one of the supernatural revelation of God.

See, whoa, whoa, what’s that? Well, I’m glad you asked. Take your Bible and turn to the book of Psalms, 19th Psalm. The 19th Psalm, the 19th Psalm, and you’ll notice that in the first six verses, it talks about the world, and in the verse 7 to 14, it talks about the Word. So this Psalm shows you that if God made the world and God gave the Word, then the world and the Word of God should agree and they do.

The Bible and true science agree. Evolution does not agree with science because evolution is not scientific. It does not agree with science. It is not scientific. The word science means to know and they do not know and they cannot prove their hypothesis. So you’re talking about God says here in verse 1, he says, the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth his handy work day unto day utter earth’s speech and night unto night showeth knowledge about God is to reveal God that’s what he says over in the book of Romans how the domain is without excuse you look up and you see the sun you see the moon you see the stars you see people you see the earth you watch a baby that’s evidence evidence because you didn’t do it.

No man and you’re the highest on the level of the evolution and you can’t do what you see. God had to do it and God did do it. So you can be a skeptic or you can be an honest skeptic and look at the evidence and you have to come to the conclusion. There is a God and he is real. Now look what he says here in verse 3. talking about the stars and so forth, the heavens. There is no speech, nor language whether their voice is not heard.

Their line has gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world. And them hath, he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bride coming out of his chamber and rejoices the strongman to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven unto the and his circuit unto the ends of it and there is nothing hit from the heat thereof. Now that’s the creation of God. So the supernatural revelation of God, not only by the world that He made, but then He gave us His Son.

Did you know that Jesus Christ coming into the world is the greatest evidence given so far? Him being here, no man was born like this man and no man lived like this man. No man died like this man and no man ever came back from the dead like this man. Jesus was God revealing himself and he is the evidence. Why do you think so many people hate Christ? Because he’s God. More people hate Christ than they do Hitler. Look what else he says here.

In verse 7 down to verse 14 is talking about how precious is the word of God. You and I hold in our hands a revelation, the word of God. So if God gave his word and God is perfect, his word must be perfect. We have in our hands the greatest piece of evidence you could ever want to have. You read the Bible, find some of those mistakes you think’s in there. There are none. I’ve been studying for 53 years.

I can’t find any mistakes. Everybody’s, you’re all the Bible’s full of mistakes and contradicts. Find one. It’s not there. And so when you put this thing into your hand and you begin to read and to study what God’s Word has revealed, and whenever He makes the statement that if I would trust Him, I would have eternal life and the peace and the joy and all that, it’s happened. I’ve tried God. I’ve tried the prayer and I’ve seen everything just like He promised.

I’ve seen it come to pass. I’ve seen God answer my prayer and answered prayer to me on things that nobody has ever else could do and nobody else knew about is evidence to me. See I tried it. I tried the evidence. It works. I look at the fact it works. I read his promises. I believed them. It’s true. Now if a man is an atheist it’s by choice but he’s ignorant and chooses to be ignorant and an agnostic can come to that crossroad and deny.

You can’t know, I don’t know, nobody knows, don’t bother me with the fact my mind’s made up. But if this book is true, if God is real, if Jesus Christ did come back from the dead, that’s the most powerful evidence any man would ever need. There isn’t anything else you need. And so you can ask questions until you’re dying day. And you’d be surprised God may never give you any more light than the light that you have. So that’s why we read the word of God.

Now let me show you this. Look there in verse 7. The law of the Lord, talking about the word of God, look what the word of God will do. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple things you can know, things that you can say, this I can wrap my little brain around. This I can believe. This is security. This is knowledge. This is steadfast. This is sure.

And you can hang on to something. You can know what’s right. Know what’s true. So then he says in verse eight, the statutes of the Lord are right and get, look, if you’ll believe what God’s word said, look what he’ll do for you. Not only save your soul and give you eternal life, but rejoicing the heart. The commandments of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. This is what the Word of God could do. It helps you to see that which the man with the natural eye can’t see.

You see, I’ve never seen God, I’ve never seen Christ, I’ve never seen heaven or hell, and I don’t have to. I’ve seen him with the eye of faith because if God tells the truth on everything else, he says, then I’m gonna believe him on the things that I cannot see. And that’s reasonable. That’s reasonable. when I find out that the Bible is not true and God lied to me or something like that, that would be different, but I haven’t found anything.

Because if you approach the Bible honestly, sincerely, though you want truth, then I believe God will help you to see and enlighten your mind, but you have to go to the source of truth, the source. Go to the Word of God. And look what he says here. In verse nine, the fear of the Lord is clean. enduring forever the judgments of the Lord of true and righteous all together, more to be desired or they than go, talking about the Word of God.

I would rather have a knowledge of the wisdom of God in my little brain than millions of dollars in my hands. That means nothing but the wisdom of God so far superior because of what it can do for you. Do you realize that if you believe what God’s Word says and if you serve Him, that God said, I’ll reward you when you get to heaven and that when you get to heaven, the rewards that you have, the money down here, all the money down here of all the whole earth, every bit of it will not compare to the wealth that I’m going to get when I get to heaven.

One reward, because it’s an eternal reward. And everything down here won’t last. All of it’s going to be burn up. So God has been so good to us. He tells us this in advance. So look again what He says here in verse 10. More to be desired or they than gold. Yea then much fine goes sweeter also than honey in the honeycomb. And get these two main things in this next verse. Two main things. where he says, more over by them is thy servant warned.

And then he also says, and in keeping of them, there is great reward. Can you believe what God says? You see the word of God being revealed, us having God’s word given to this world is evidence of God. Read it. Man can’t write this book. You say a man could have wrote that no he can’t you didn’t read it you don’t understand it if you believe that this isn’t a book like the comic book Mickey Mouse this isn’t like a book like Moby Dick of mutiny on the bounty those are a lot of nice books out there you can read they’re nice and big and thick rising fall of the Roman Empire you can read all that stuff worn piece but they’re just the book written by a man.

This was written by God and he had 35 to 40 different writers writing it for him over a period of 15 to 1600 years and they never contradict each other. You have the greatest book in all the world right here. All the books and all the libraries has ever been done. Can’t compare to this book right here and chances are you have one. And this is why the devil will do whatever he possibly can to eat up your time where you don’t have time to read this book because if you do this book can change your life.

This book changes the way you think. This book gives you confidence and hope. Otherwise you’d be surprised how you live without the knowledge of this Bible. I feel so sorry for those, the atheists and for the agnostic and for the, the skeptics, people that are not honest and won’t reason with God’s evidence that He’s given to us. Verse 12, who can understand His heirs? Khens down me from secret thoughts. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me.

then shall I be upright and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.” You see, we were born into this world, sinners. Sinners by nature, and then we get a little bit older, we’re sinners by choice, we choose to be. And because of sin, sin destroys. That’s what causes the husband and the wife to fight. That’s why you have to whoop your kids. That’s why sometimes your kids get to where they, I hate you and I want nothing to do with you and they leave home and mad and so forth and you were just waiting for them to get old enough so they can get a job and help support the family.

And you’d be surprised. Look at all the destruction going on in the world. Men with men, women with women, people staying together and living together out of wedlock, all these things, it’s a sin. This book is to help us to be enlightened. So we’ll learn how to think. And so whenever we wrong one another because of this whole sin, we can forgive one another. Because, hey, I wrong God and He forgave me. Why can I forgive somebody else? It caused you to think totally different.

So you don’t have to be bitter toward anybody because you know, hey, there’s a judgment coming. They’ll get theirs. Let God give it to them. Don’t be God the avenging angel. Just put God first and love Him and serve Him. You’d be surprised what God will do for you. Look in verse 14. In verse 14, it makes a statement, Let the words of my mouth, this is the purpose of this song, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.”

See, this is what God wants. And I want you to understand this. You cannot equate non-contrehension with non-existence. Non-contrehension means you don’t understand. You just don’t understand. And so, Well, if God doesn’t understand God, therefore He doesn’t exist. That’s not very good reasoning. No more than you can say, my wife does not exist because I don’t understand her. Is it possible that you don’t understand your wife? Does that mean she doesn’t exist? And just because, don’t take that too far, God is not afraid of man’s questions.

God knows that we have doubts. And He wants us to believe. And when you read the book of John, where He makes a statement, statement, these things are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God in that by believing, you might have life through His name. It’s written so that you would believe. So God gave us proof, evidence as you read the book of John. And it shows you so many wonderful, wonderful things because it’s talking about how much God loves us.

Now take your Bible looking John 3, 16. You have probably never seen this verse before. And look at the way the one that created all of this and gave us all this evidence. So you don’t have to be afraid. You can know that the Bible is true. There is a God. And he made this statement in chapter 3 and verse 16, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. Now, who so ever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.

That is probably the most known verse in the Bible, least understood. And there’s a lot of intelligent preachers even that can’t understand that verse. They’re not enlightened. And the reason is because they approach the Bible from a viewpoint of, I just can’t believe that God would just do this or do that and so they reached into the Bible and try to find verses that prove a point of view. Instead of just believing what’s there, look at the verse and see if you can just believe what it says for God so loved the world.

You’ve got a problem with that. God so loved the world. What’s wrong with that? Anything wrong with that? You know how I interpret that verse? For God so love the world. They say, well it’s all according to your interpretation. No, it’s not. It’s already been interpreted. It’s according to your belief. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Do you know how I interpret that? Since I know that He grew into Greek, I interpret that.

Let’s see here that He gave His only begotten Son. Now, whosoever I translate that as whosoever. Whosoever, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that who soever, believe it in Him. That’s all He required. Whosoever, anybody would believe in Him would not perish. I mean, not go to hell, but have everlasting life. Means you get to go to heaven. So simple, look up here. This is so important. The message is so important. I’ve had people that have emailed me that have watched me do this little wallet.

They call it a trick, it ain’t no trick to it at all. I mean, you watch my hand, it’ll never leave my risk. And this wallet, it won’t disappear. This is you and me. This is sin. God says we were born with a sinful nature. And all the things that we do that’s bad is because we’ve got a sinful nature. The fruit is a result of the root. We’ve got a root problem. And everybody’s a sinner. Nobody’s any better than anyone else.

And the Bible says, God so loved the world. Now he doesn’t love our sin. He loves the world. And God said, but to pay for the sin, We all have to die. Eternal separation from God, but He loves us. He wants us to go to heaven, but to go to heaven, you have to be perfect as righteous as God. And none of us are perfect. None of us are righteous. We’ve all done things wrong. And we need a Savior.

There’s only one Savior. God says, you can’t save yourself. It’s not by going to church, by giving money. It’s a gift. And here’s what he means. This hand represents Jesus Christ. See, one of the evidences that God gave was sending his own son into the world. And nobody… In the whole world could ever compare to this guy. He was totally different. And he lived different. He never sinned. Never did anything wrong. He told how he was going to die before he died.

And he knew that was why he came. So Jesus Christ took all the sins of all the world and paid for it on the cross. That’s why he died. And then come back from the days, three days later. To come back from the dead. My mother’s been dead almost 10 years. My sister’s been, she ain’t come back. Nobody has ever come back, but he did. He came back from the dead. He’s different. He was God in the flesh. That’s evidence.

Nobody else has ever done this. So Jesus Christ came back from the dead. And he says, if you and I, if we would believe that he died and paid for our sins, he’d put that payment to our account. We get to go to heaven on what Jesus Christ did for us. Jesus Christ did for us. And he says, these things have I written unto you that believe that you may know that you have eternal life. So can you know you have eternal life?

The Bible is true. If the Bible is truth, that’s the facts. And that’s the facts. What does the facts say? That if I believe this, I have eternal life. So if I believe it, then what do I have? Eternal life. So can I state that I have eternal life? Yeah. How many of you in here know you have eternal life? Let me see your hand. All right, put it out. I mean, no, you’re going to hell. Not as only.

It’s the best news in all the world. Let’s pray, shall we? With every head bowed and every eye closed, no one looking around. If you’ve never trusted Christ as your Savior, you right now in the quietness of this moment. Just say something simple like this, Lord I know I’m a sinner. I do have questions. I do have doubts, but I want to be an honest skeptic. I believe that what I heard this morning was the truth. I believe that you are real and I believe that you love me and I believe you sent your son Jesus Christ to die for my sins and I will accept that payment he made for me.

I believe he did it for me. And for in God’s it if you would believe that, you can know right now that you have eternal life. When you get up to leave you can say I’m going to heaven because today I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior, not the preacher, not the church, nothing else, just the Lord. And friend if you’re making that decision I’d like to have prayer for for you. So it has bound nice and closed and no one looking around.

Would you just slip you in a very quickly and put it right back down by that you mean yes I will trust Christ as my Savior right now? Anyone at all. Just very quickly slip it up. Are the anyone at all? Our Father we thank you again for your blessings. Thank you for this opportunity to explain to people why I believe in God. Not just in God, but I believe God. I believe what said, and I know that many people here, this auditorium, have trusted your Savior.

And Father, we pray that people that are watching by internet would understand and put their complete confidence in their trust in you. We ask through blessings upon each one here in Christ’s name.

During this month to every person making a financial donation in any amount, we’re going to send to you the DVD teaching series on how to witness to Roman Catholics.

Many Catholics love the Lord so much, but sadly, they are lost. Although the Roman Catholic Church uses words like grace and mercy, they rely upon works as the cause of salvation. So many wonderful people are being deceived by the world’s largest religion and this DVD series could help you win them to the truth.
