“The demonstration that no possible combination of known substances, known forms of machinery, and no forms of force can be united in a
practical machine by which man shall fly long distances through the air,
seems to the writer as complete as it is possible for the demonstration of
any physical fact to be.” (Simon Newcomb, Canadian-born
Astronomer)

An Astounding Promise:An Astounding Promise:
“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am
going to the Father.”

“Now unto Him who is able to do exceeding
abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the
glory (Ephesians 3:20).”

“If God meant for to us to live inside an invisible fence, why did
He place some of His choicest servants in prison, a lions’ den, a
human-sized furnace, a shipwrecked boat? Why did he send Paul to Rome, or Jonah to
Nineveh, or Esther to the palace in Persia? Because they had
purpose to fulfill, and God meant for them do discover the
unlimited nature of His power and love,

Here’s the bottom line:Here’s the bottom line:
If God is everywhere and everything that exists is before
Him, He is calling for us to follow Him back to the streets to
redeem a world caught in the vise grip of death. If we stay on the
porch, where it’s supposedly safe, we’ll not only miss our
destiny, but the roof may collapse—and we’ll deserve it!

The United States of America would become a
nation filled with Christians whose number one goal in life is personal
peace (or safety) and prosperity.

“You can live on bland food so as to avoid an ulcer; drink no tea or coffee or other stimulants, in the name of
health, go to bed early and stay away from night life, avoid all
controversial subjects so as never to giver offense; mind your won
business and avoid involvement in other people’s problems; spend
money only on necessities and save all you can. You can still break you
neck in the bathtub, and it will serve you right.”

Living your perfect life will not achieve the purpose of
GodBecause His perfect
purposes will only be achieved through
imperfect people who believe that anything is possible with a perfect
God.

So do not fear, for I am with you; Don’t be
dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold
you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)
