And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

And God called the firmament Heaven – Genesis 1:6-8

Scientists scoff at the Bible for saying heaven, presumably the sky, originally separated two layers of water, and especially the statement later that God put two lights, presumably the Sun and Moon, in that expanse.

When the Bible says it scientists scoff but, apparently, when one of their own discovers a star with water around it they marvel.

Wired Science reports that a 2001 discovery of a star with hot water around it requires them to re-think chemistry theory!

Scientists make some fairly bold statements for those who have a lot yet discover.

I’ll stick with God’s word – I don’t always understand the how and why of it, but it has always proven true where I can understand it.

God Lost in a Crowd?

“Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, the LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?” – Rabshakeh (701 BC) Isaiah 36:18

“[All places of worship are]places that people go to retell nonsense stories … They try to telepathically communicate with their imaginary friend.” – Bill Maher (09/14/10) The Tonight Show

“To me,there’s no real difference between a fortune teller or a fortune cookie and any of the organized religions. They’re all equally valid or invalid, really. And equally helpful.” Woody Allen (09/15/10) New York Times

Godless people have always wanted to lose God in the crowd and portray him as debile as all the other gods, religions, and faiths.

Hezekiah, wasn’t buying it, nor should we!

“Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries, And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.

Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only.” – Hezekiah (Isaiah 37:18-20)

Don’t let the ungodly set the stage, we don’t all worship the same God – only ours is alive. All roads don’t lead to heaven – ours is a narrow path. God doesn’t communicate telepathically – he writes in the heavens, on the pages of history, and in the hearts of the humble.

>Go to Church!

>

When [Jesus] came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath. – Luke 4:16a

When Sabbath rolled around Jesus went to “church” – he made a habit of it. He didn’t always agree with them but he attended, he spoke the truth in love, helped those he could, and if they threw him out of one he went to another.

He never quit.

There’s a story of an old man who faithfully attended church every Sunday though he had long ago lost his hearing. When asked why he answered, “I still want God to know who’s side I’m on!”

Go to church, and make it a habit. That’s what Jesus did.
