I BELIEVE IN GOD

SNIPPET

Random noise could never produce a Bach cantata.  Random letters floating in an ocean of alphabet soup will never spell out a chapter from Moby Dick.  When we hear the music, we know there was a composer.  When we read coherent writing, we know there was an author.  How much more does this principle apply to the detailed information contained in the DNA of every living creature?  John MacArthur The Battle for the Beginning, 2001, P. 137

SCRIPTURE

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;
There is no one who does good.
The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who understand,
Who seek after God.
They have all turned aside, together they have become 
corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
 Psalms 14:1-3 NASB

SONG
I BELIEVE IN GOD
BY SCOTT WESLEY BROWN

When I look upon the wonders of creation
And such intricate design in all there is
I know my faith is not a mere delusion
And I rejoice to know the Lord of All exists!
And I believe in God
I believe in God
I believe in God my maker
Blessed are the eyes of those who see him Those who walk by
faith and not by sight
For the fool says in his heart there is no god
But we have come from darkness into light
And I will praise him
Celebrate my God!
I believe in God the Father and in Jesus Christ his Son, 
and the Holy Spirit, Three in One

SENTENCE PRAYER

God Almighty, our Creator and Caretaker, our curer and coming King, you alone are our source, our salvation, and our future satisfaction!  Today we pray that our hearts will be full of praise and gratitude and kept far from greed and a sense of privilege.  As we go through this day, move us toward you and draw from us an offering of praise.
There is no plant in the ground but tells of you beauty, O Christ.
There is no creature on the sea but proclaims your goodness.
There is no bird on the wing, thee is no star in the sky, there is nothing beneath the sun but is full of your blessing.
Lighten our understanding of Your presence all around, O Chist.
Quicken our will to be caring for your creation, today and each day, we pray, for the sake of the mission, name and gloy of the one true God.  Amen!
