Does God Exist - Six Reasons to Believe that God is Really There - Existence of God - Proof of God
PDFListen to article By Marilyn Adamson Just once wouldn't you love for someone to simply show you the evidence for God's existence? No arm-twisting. No statements of, "You just have to believe." But first consider this. Many examples showing God's design could be given, possibly with no end. The Earth...its size is perfect. The Earth is located the right distance from the sun. And our moon is the perfect size and distance from the Earth for its gravitational pull. Water...colorless, odorless and without taste, and yet no living thing can survive without it. It has wide margin between its boiling point and freezing point. Water is a universal solvent. Water is also chemically neutral. Water has a unique surface tension. Water freezes from the top down and floats, so fish can live in the winter. Ninety-seven percent of the Earth's water is in the oceans. The human brain...simultaneously processes an amazing amount of information. The eye...can distinguish among seven million colors.
Once Upon a Time in Edinburgh
"Half a capital and half a country town, the whole city leads a double existence," Robert Louis Stevenson, the Scottish writer, wrote of Edinburgh in 1878. "It has long trances of the one and flashes of the other... it is half alive and half a monumental marble." On Sept. 18, Scots voted to remain within the United Kingdom in the country's first-ever independence referendum. Had the results been different, Edinburgh would have become more than Stevenson ever imagined. The city would have been the capital of Western Europe's first 21st-century state, the seat of an independent government serving around 5 million people, setting taxes, directing a military. Scotland will likely gain greater autonomy from Westminster in the coming years, even if it remains within the United Kingdom. Here, Foreign Policy looks back at the steady monuments and shifting streets of a city that on Thursday made a watershed decision.

Bible Stories for Kids - The Armor of God
...God planned to send Jesus to save us! Save us from what? Well, when God made the world it was perfect in every way. And then Adam came along and ate the fruit God told him not to eat. God try to warn Adam. And that's exactly what Adam did. Well, he didn’t drop over dead right there! And we all sin. We all do what we want to do instead of what God wants us to do. And that’s what Jesus came to save us from! God loves us so much, He sent His Son to make things right again. And the price was very high. But Jesus died FOR us. That's not the end of the story! Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead! Jesus defeated death! If we believe in Jesus, and we believe that he died for our sins, God will raise us from dead just like Jesus rose from the dead! And now God can adopt us as His children. That is the Good News! Now, since we ARE God’s children, we should live like God’s children. But we all know, it's not always easy... We are in a battle! And Satan is sneaky. So put on the whole Armor of God!
