What Is Wrong With Stephen Hawking?

When someone asks the question "What is wrong with Stephen Hawking?" they should qualify their question. If you want to know what is wrong with Dr. Hawking from a physical stand point the answer is simple. Dr. Hawking has battled Lou Gehrig disease for 50 years. In fact, we can congratulate Hawkings courage and perseverance against this disease because it claims most of its victims in a relatively short time.
If you want to know what is wrong with Dr. Hawking from a spiritual perspective the answer is pretty simple as well. Dr. Hawking used to acknowledge a small role for God in the creation of the universe. However, in recent years he no longer sees God as a necessary ingredient in the story of origins. He has made the following statement.."The universe can and will create itself out of nothing." He is also credited with the following quote..."We are each free to believe what we want, and it's my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no god". I personally don't see how anyone could come to the conclusion that all that can be seen with the eye and all that is invisible to us just "created" itself! Maybe it's just me but I think it takes more blind faith to believe that nonsense then to believe that "in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth". You can read more about Dr. Hawkings beliefs or lack thereof at this site.
So then, what is Dr. Hawking's spiritual problem? He is a fool according to the Word of God.

Psalm 14:1

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I know what you are thinking, I don't have a Ph.D. in physics and I wasn't a professor in mathematics at Cambridge for 30 years. You're right, I'm just a simple man who believes the Bible is the Word of God. The Bible makes it very clear, if you don't acknowledge God's existence and His essential part in all the universe then you are a "fool". 

I hope for a couple of things for Dr. Hawking. I hope that his physical condition could improve and that his suffering could be eased. Most of all, I hope that Dr. Hawking will one day acknowledge Jesus Christ as His Savior and Lord.

What Happens If The North Korea Threats To The United States Materialize?

The world is experiencing what the Bible calls "birth pangs" as bizarre events are occurring more frequently and with more intensity. Do a Google search of the following items and you will soon discover that we are indeed living in the last days..

mass animal deaths

earthquakes

sinkholes

super storms

peace and security rhetoric

rfid chips and the mark of the beast

collapsing global economy

famine

pestilence

wars and rumors of wars

The latest rumors of war are coming from North Korea and their almost daily threats of nuclear attack on the United States are becoming very unsettling. Here is an article that is appearing right now on the front page of Matt Drudge's news site. Most folks in America are so confident that there is no way that the North Koreans could land a nuke shot to our land that it really alarms me. The old adage that pride goes before a fall does apply here. There are too many of our people who think the behavior of North Korea's leader are entirely unprovoked but I would have to disagree with that position. Watch the following video and gain some insight into our relationship with this country.

What if we experienced a nuclear hit next week? What would be the consequences of such an unthinkable event? No doubt our land would experience a total economic collapse and we would probably see the implementation of martial law as well. The world that you and I live in is very fragile and the dominoes could all fall by the next calamity that rears its ugly head. Jesus said that when the final events begin to occur it would be a "sudden destruction" that catches the masses by surprise. 

Dear Reader, are you ready for end time events? Are you ready for extreme difficulties and possible death? The Bible declares that "today" is the day of salvation. You can know what it means to be forgiven and free by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. I urge you to watch the short video in the right sidebar. Let me know what you think of the times we are living in and let me know if you have believed on Jesus.

A Wonderful C.I. Schofield Quote Gives Hope To Sinners!

I recently bought a book by Matthew Correll entitled Faith Alone:  The Way To Christ (Spiritual Living In Light Of God's Grace).  In chapter five of this marvelous book he starts off with a quote by C.I. Schofield which says...

"The Law condemns the best person; grace justifies the worst."

Here is what the psalmist said as he was living under the demands of God's law...

^{Psalm 40:12} For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Under the law of God in the Old Testament setting it could truly be said that the law condemned the "best" person. The best of the best could never live up to the demands of a Holy God. It has been said that if you have ever broken just one of God's laws then you are guilty of breaking them all. The writer of the book of Romans in the New Testament said that all have sinned and all have come short of the glory of God. The guilt of not being able to measure up to God's perfect standard  is very oppressive to the human soul. Notice what the psalmist said "mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head." The psalmist was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of his sin and it was affecting his life emotionally, physically and spiritually. I truly believe that the reason the United States of America is such a medicated society is because of the guilt of unforgiven sin. 

Thankfully, we don't live under the law and the Old Testament system anymore. We live in the age of grace. Remember Schofield's quote? "Grace justifies the worst". You may have lived a life of unbridled sin and debauchery but grace says you can have your record totally expunged! Here is what the New Testament writer says...

/Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

2 Corinthians 5:19  To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:19 New English Translation  In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people’s trespasses against them, and he has given us the message of reconciliation. 

Grace through Christ's work on the cross and resurrection from the dead forgives ALL our sins and no longer COUNTS sins against us! It forgives the worst!  Maybe you can identify with that phrase "the worst". Perhaps you have sinned to the point that you don't feel you can be forgiven. The good news is that God's grace is free for the taking. If you will simply believe that what Christ did on the cross 2000 years ago is all that is necessary to pay for your sins then the Bible says you become a forgiven person, a child of God. I encourage you to watch the video in the right sidebar of this site. Yes, you can be forgiven in three minutes because of His grace!
