Evolution

This is a very touchy and serious subject to talk about. Most people don't believe that they evolved from other creatures that took millions of years to finally come to present form. I personally don't believe that because I think that it is highly improbable that God would design the world that way. People that believe in evolution probably believe in the big bang also. If you believe in the big bang, that states that there was this big flash and pow the world was created. My thiery is that if you believe this you don't believe in God Almighty who made heaven and earth with His own hands. Most schools now teach evolution and the schools that don't teach it have already or soon will be taken to court. The thought that we came from apes is absolutely wrong and is kind of stupid that Darwin came up with that idea. For the Bible says in Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." There are many more scriptures that declare the same thing, that God designed and created the earth.

Greed

As 1 Timothy 6:10 says," The love of money is the root of all evil."Many people would kill a best friend for their money. I once read a story about a greedy young man who was so selfish that nobody wanted to be his friend. A young man in the Bible was so greedy that he couldn't give his possesions to the poor to follow Jesus. I would have followed Jesus definitely. Some people do stupid things for money and then regret doing it afterwards. I admit to being greedy somtimes but, most people can say the same thing.

Facts About the Bible

The longest name and word in the bible is Mahershalalhashbaz.The longest verse is Esther 8:9 which contains (78) words. Another thing that is amazing is that the bible has been translated into 1,200 laguages. Think for a moment on how long that took to translate the bible into those languages. God is so amazing to give people the knowledge to translate the bible into that many languages. What a wonderful God we serve.

Video Games

It is very upsetting to see how many people are influenced by video games. Reasearch at Germany's Charite University of Medicine suggests that compulsive computer gaming may create an addiction response in the brain that's similar to drug dependence. Out of 673 people 81% own and play videogames. My dad once told me a story about a young man about 18 years old. This boy was well respected in the little town that he lived in. One day for no reason he stole a car. A police officer pulled him over after recognizing the license plate number. The policeman then asked him question at the station. The young man wouldn't responed so the officer started to leave the room. The boy then lept from his chair grabbed the officer gun and killed him. He then dashed down the hall and was told to stop by another officer that had heard the shot. The boy then shot this police officer killing him also. He was then recaptured by three policemen. Before he was sent to jail he admitted to playing a video game called Grand Theft Auto. This game included stealing cars and shooting police. I pray to God that this will never happen again. This story shows what addiction can do to people. It influences them to do evil which the Lord hates.
