The god of nothing.
I read the atheist's posts. I try to understand their motives, their "push" to get their views across. What is it that they have in common. It is the god of nothing. They worship nothing. Their theology is nothing. Their rituals are nothing. Their standards are nothing. Their temple is nothing. Their sacrifices are nothing. Their commandments are nothing and are based on nothing. Their scriptures are nothing. Their priests are nothing. They believe in the last judgment of nothing. After they die, they go to their nothing. They are positive of nothing. They evangelize diligently for their religion of nothing. They write for nothing. Their sin is nothing, yet they accuse of everything. Their guilt is nothing. Their punishment is nothing. Their god has nothing, does nothing, thinks nothing, is nothing. Yet, they all preach nothing. Their nothing permeates everything. Their worldview is based on nothing. Their logic is based on nothing. Their science is orderly on nothing. Their purpose in life is nothing. They will leave nothing. They came from nothing. They go to nothing. Everything is nothing. Their nothing is so important that they do everything they can to promote nothing.
They mock others who have something to try to get others to believe in nothing. They have a fellowship of nothing. The rules of their fellowship on based on nothing. When they're thankful, they thankful to nothing. When they're blessed, they are blessed by nothing. They get their comfort in sorrow from nothing. They pray to nothing. They vent their frustrations to nothing. They blame everything on nothing. They teach nothing. Their mental and emotional wholeness is based on nothing. Their social needs are on nothing. Their environmental harmony is on nothing. The great benefits in life are based on nothing.
Jesus is something. He is a person. He has a standard. He has good judgment. He is my God. They can have their god of nothing. I worship Jesus Christ. I say with Thomas, "Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28).
The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who refuses to believe in the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
"Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!" (Revelation 5:12)

Pride vs Humility
I have two videos--one from an atheist; the other from an ex-atheist. Note the different expressions. I need illustrations and hands on activities to learn. I wanted a video showing me what pride was; well, I found it. Note that the atheist judges Christians (false converts and true converts) by his standards, his 10 Commandments. What he believes is his standard of right and wrong is how he judges others. Why is his standards right and the 10 Commandments of the Christian Bible wrong? Because he says so. He judges Christians by his own laws. This is the problem with atheists. They are their own god in their own universe. He brags about sinning, "because there is no one to judge me." He can fleece others, that is OK (in fact, he can lie, cheat, steal, commit adultery, and do what he wants), but by his standards others cannot. The plain reading of the Christian Bible makes it clear that someone who fleeces someone is guilty of stealing, thus they WILL receive God's judgment.
Jesus said to them, "I am telling you the truth: everyone who sins is a slave of sin. (John 8:34)
Wicked people are controlled by their conceit and arrogance, and this is sinful. (Proverbs 21:4)

Bruce from Backyard Skeptics
Here is a video from Bruce at "Backyard Skeptics". He has an encounter with Ray Comfort, who is preaching. I love this video by Bruce, because (1) it increases the crowd, (2) clearly presents the gospel, (3) encourages Christians who have to deal with hecklers. It seems strange that an atheist would promote the Gospel. Bruce uses all the tired arguments of "You're an atheist, too. I just have one less god than you," "If God is so loving, why are there people suffering with cancer," Etc.
This is a must watch.

The sound is better than most. Bruce keeps his cool; I appreciate that. Great job Bruce!

Walking Dog
There is a dog that walks--on two legs that is. She was born without front legs, so the only way to get around was to walk. She has been, it is reported, an inspiration to wounded soldiers and others. Evolutionists, of course, will use this to prove we come from a common ancestor. Here's the link:
Our LORD and Ruler, your name is wonderful everywhere on earth! You let your glory be seen in the heavens above. With praises from children and from tiny infants, you have built a fortress. It makes your enemies silent, and all who turn against you are left speechless. I often think of the heavens your hands have made, and of the moon and stars you put in place. Then I ask, "Why do you care about us humans? Why are you concerned for us weaklings?" You made us a little lower than you yourself, and you have crowned us with glory and honor. You let us rule everything your hands have made. And you put all of it under our power-- the sheep and the cattle, and every wild animal, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and all ocean creatures. Our LORD and Ruler, your name is wonderful everywhere on earth! (Psalms 8:1-9)
