We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

An evidence that our will has been broken is that we begin to thank God for that which once seemed so bitter, knowing that His will is good and that, in His time and in His way, He is able to make the most bitter waters sweet.

Without previous thinking, planning, imagining...the apostles will receive directly from God just what to utter. It will come into their minds just as it is needed, and thus they will utter it aloud. The apostles, indeed, make utterance, and yet they do not, for their act is due to the Holy Spirit, so that most properly He is the one who does this uttering. Everything that is mechanical, magical, unpsychological is shut out. The apostles will not be like the demoniacs – their organs of speech and their very wills being violated by a demon. Absolutely the contrary: mind, heart, will operate freely, consciously, in joyful, trustful dependence on the Spirit’s giving, who enables them to find just what to say and how to say it down to the last word, with no mistake or even a wrong word due to faulty memory or disturbed emotions occurring. This, of course, is Inspiration, Verbal Inspiration.

    Archaeopteryx Controversy

    Was Archaeopteryx a fraud? Yes, says Fred Hoyle and colleagues; no, says Stephen Jay Gould . In his article, “The fossil fraud that never was,” New Scientist , 12 March 1987, pp. 32-36, Gould argues that both the history of the discovery of Archaeopteryx , and a careful examination of the extant fossil material, disprove the fraud hypothesis. This article includes photographs of the surface of the Solnhofen slab (which contains the most famous Archaeopteryx fossil) and counterslab, showing certain features–such as hairline cracks and dendrites–which would seem impossible to forge. Those interested in this question should remember that, however much they might like Archaeopteryx to be a forgery, if it’s genuine–it’s genuine.
