This week I want to share something that I heard in a sermon on Sunday! The preacher was talking about knowing the king and not just the kingdom. There are many people who go to church and because their family has been brought up in the church they think they are saved. My dad use to preach that we can know a lot of facts about Abraham Lincoln but have you ever met him personally. You can know alot of facts about Jesus Christ but do you know him personally? Having a relationship with the king of kings will transform your life! There is nothing greater than knowing him.

In our series on science we have been talking about God and how he created the universe. It is so amazing to see the facts and when you look at the universe you know that someone had to be behind it to make it. It just did not come altogether by accident. This past week we had a great response and if you have not seen it you need to watch. What amazes me is how the evidence shows that there was a creator and how if one thing was out of place life could not exist.

Continue to pray for the ministry and for our staff! We need your prayers for each day in what we are doing for the cause of Jesus Christ!

Today one of the ladies that works on our staff part time lost her mother today! It was a blessing because she was sick for awhile. They were a family that grew up on the mission field in Africa! How joyful it is for her to now be in Heaven and not to have any more pain! What a blessing to know that we have a place that is prepared for us when it is our turn to go!

This month we started a new series on science with Dr. Hugh Ross. The programs that we are airing show how the universe came about and how we can prove that there is a God! It is so fascinating. I hope that you will tune in to watch.

Last week I got to talk to some of our people who give to us every month. It was so interesting to hear what people do for a living and how the ministry has impacted their life. I talked to people who live in remote Alaska to people who live in the big cities of New York and Chicago. I thank the Lord for the people who have come across our ministry. We could not do it without them.

Well this week is the time for registration for school! Hard to believe that the summer is coming to an end. I know that when we get to August that Christmas is right around the corner! A friend of mine told me that she went into Hobby Lobby the other day and all their Christmas stuff was already out! That is a little early I think!

I feel for kids who are going back to school. The pressure is worse than when I was in school and the things they are being taught are just terrible. In our science classes we have that evolution is true and that God is not real. In history, the kids don't know who the first president was or how our country was founded to name a few.

Here at the John Ankerberg Show we tackle those issues and many others. We need to know how to respond to people to explain why we believe what we believe. Why is our God true compared to Allah or any other god? With your help we can get the truth out and we are thankful for the support. This summer has gone well and we thank the Lord for that!
