To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, "I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge" --Ravi Zacharias

‘If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents—the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else’s. But if their thoughts—i.e. of materialism and astronomy—are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It’s like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milkjug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.’

C.S. Lewis



"God is in the rain."~Evey in V for Vendetta


"Prayer in its highest form is agonizing soul sweat." --Leonard Ravenhill

i hated it when God insisted i "yawp!"
but He knew i must,
and that my life would not begin,
until i yawped.

We all must learn to yawp.
we MUST awaken the passion,
that part of us that feels intensely,
and is NOT afraid to say so
or to express it.

Otherwise we are just
dead men walking.

Check out the video to this story before claiming it's "no big deal". God Bless :

Planned Parenthood = Organized, Systematic Infanticide

Some people think it wrong and oppose it (Amen! )

Some people defend infanticide, applaud it, think it a good thing, and ridicule those who oppose it.

Amen. In addition, there are those who call babies in their mommy's incubator, "things", "parasites", and "intruders" that should be "exterminated".

...or "fetuses" which is a term that is somehow supposed to make one believe it is not human and therefore not deserving of our protection, care, or love.
