I have written over five-hundred blogs.  This is like a diary.  In reverse.  I'm telling you things that happened to me in the past.  And things I have learned through the years.

My grandson Brady is three.  His mom said he loves bugs and creepy crawlers.  The other day he saw a grasshopper.  So he got down on his knees and said, "Hello, little fella.  Wha'cha doin?"  Children are so innocent.  Jesus said that if we aren't like little children, we won't see the kingdom of God.

Our faith must be simple as well.  Hebrews 11: 5 "Enoch was translated that he should not see death…for before his translation …he pleased God."  I told you that I want to please God.  I read the Bible so that I can know what is pleasing to him.  It is our guide book.

In the very next verse (vs. 6), the writer of Hebrews says something profound. "But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

Science tries to find the origin of life.  And fails.  Science doesn't explain where this is all occurring.  Or where it all came from.  Or what was the first source.  Science also doesn't give us an explanation for our sin.  The world would say, "There is no sin.  If it feels good, do it."  But we know.  In our hearts.

But the Bible is simply the truth.  John 1:1, 3 "In the beginning was the Word.  And the Word was with God, and the Word was God…All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  In him was life; and life was the light of men"

We get to choose.  Science--which is ever searching but never arriving at final truth.  Or the Bible--which simply tells us the truth.  And it rings a bell in our hearts.  That's faith.  We choose faith.
