Space Probe Conveys Message from God

Here's an article about the joint space probe "Huygens" landing on the Saturn moon of Titan. The story, much like the recent Nova episode (second part aired last night) mentioned in one of our previous posts, gives reference to the passion that these Space Agency professionals have for their spacecraft:


Mission officials — who have waited seven years for Huygens to reach its destination — had tears in their eyes as the first signal was picked up, indicating that the probe was transmitting to its mother ship, the international Cassini spacecraft.

Just imagine the passion God has for His creation. I know it brings tears to His eyes when He is able to establish communication with His children.

Don't believe in God? Here is something to think about. This year, more people will be believing than not believing in the God of the Bible. More people will be starting a personal relationship with God than those who will not. Will you be one of them?

Here are the facts...The world's population is roughly 6 billion people. There's about 2 billion Christians in the world alone. Of these, there are roughly 1 billion that believe in personal relationships with God (Evangelical Christians). Of this number, there are 500 million or so that believe and experience miracles, healings, and all the awesome supernatural experiences mentioned in the Bible. These Christians alone constitute a population twice that of the United States. Together, Evangelical Christians are growing in population by 13% per year. By contrast, the world's population is growing at 1.6% each year. In other words, more people are starting relationships with the God of the Universe than are being born in the world! Many of these people could tell you of personal experiences that scientists and engineers can not explain, experiences that can only be described as supernatural, explained only by the Bible. If you think about it, a relationship with the God of the Universe is supernatural in and of itself. Either these people, who are steadily becoming the majority in the world, are crazy or lying, OR they are experiencing real relationships with the God of the Universe. God is desperately awaiting your signal. Give Him an open line of communication. Follow Christ.
