Description: (hide)

Martin Collins, in his second installment of the message, "Are You Sure You Believe in God?" reiterates that those who say in their hearts, "There is no God," have confirmed themselves as fools. Evolution is a defective theory attempting to explain the existence of creation without a Creator. Psychology, comparative religion, and environmentalist pagan earth worship are all looking for excuses not to fear God. When ancient Israel turned her back on the covenant relationship, she became a harlot, an object of shame and ridicule, anticipating the current shameful behavior of modern Israel, again denying the Creator God and snubbing the Covenant and pursuing economic and political treaties with her "lovers," not realizing that God alone determines the rise and fall of political powers. God's intervention determines the outcomes of military conflicts, including the Norman Conquest, and the ultimate solution for the seeming perpetual conflict between Isaac and Ishmael's offspring. The sermon takes a turn, focusing on the deleterious effects of gambling, through lottery, raffle, or casino games, which glorify the way of get while denigrating the laws of labor and productivity. In contrast, the way of give as exemplified by God's way of life produces lasting happiness and blessings, and abundant spiritual fruit. Belief in God involves more than believing He exists, but in faithfully obeying what He asks us to do. Genuine faith gives us access to genuine power.
