Romans 1:20 NASB When mankind looks at the awesome beauty of nature he is faced with the reality of a creator. God's Word says everyone is without excuse. Even the "unreached tribes" have testimony in nature of a Creator. Because so many of us live in cities and crowded areas, at times it is difficult for us to appreciate the wonder and majesty of the world God spoke into existence. This is why I want to invite you to join my wife, daughter and me on a cruise/tour to experience first-hand the wonders of ALASKA. (Click this link to download my brochure.) I can assure you the splendor of Alaska is overwhelming. This trip will add new meaning to the verse above. Join us for a great vacation complete with Christian fellowship, Bible studies, and the wonder of God's creation. Holland America has notified us it has already sold out of some of the room categories. If you plan to join us, you CANNOT wait until the last minute. I urge you to sign-up right away!

URL: From jasnews at johnankerberg.org Tue Mar 20 10:14:33 2007 From: jasnews at johnankerberg.org (John Ankerberg Show News) Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2007 10:14:33 -0400 Subject: JAS News - News from The John Ankerberg Show Message-ID: <000301c76afa$155c5790$c401a8c0@WEBMASTER> Dear Friend, Many watching our current series on science, have said that the astronomical evidence for creation has evoked a feeling in them that God has awesome power and knowledge. David agrees with this sentiment in the Psalms where he writes, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where there voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth." (Psalm 19:1-4) I remember a time when I stayed at an old cabin up the near the Canadian border, miles from the nearest city. Although the cabin had no electricity, it was situated on a beautiful island surrounded by a vast lake. At night, I would walk down to the lake and see the reflection of the stars in the calm waters. My eyes would be drawn to the sky where I would gaze in wonder at millions and millions of stars glittering like diamonds against the black velvety background of space. I thought of the words of the Psalmist who said: "When I consider your heavens, the work of your hands, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him?" (Psalm 8:3). Have you ever had that same feeling? David said, "Oh Lord my God, you are very great." (Psalm 104:1) The pictures of our vast universe taken by astronomers, and the evidence of great design, should establish the fact that our God has awesome power to save us and protect us, and wisdom far above our own to guide us. We can learn things about an architect from looking at a building he has designed, but the only way we will ever know his inner feelings and purposes, is if he speaks to us. The same is true of God. We can learn a lot about Him from looking at the universe He has designed and made, but to really know Him, we must hear Him speak. Scripture is where God speaks to us and communicates how He feels and thinks. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, .so is my word that goes from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:9-11) What does God say He desires for us? What benefits has He provided? Here are a few: "Praise the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not all His benefits -- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. ...The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will He harbor his anger forever; He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him; as far as the East is from the West, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him; for He knows how we are formed, He remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear Him, and His righteousness with their children's children -- with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all." (Psalm 103:2-19) Look at the benefits God provides in the above paragraph. Do you need to have God apply some of these benefits to you today? The evidence from astronomy and physics demonstrates that the God who made the heavens and the earth has awesome power and knowledge. He is able to keep his promises to us, to save us, to forgive our sins, to love us and to protect us. The science programs we are airing show not only what happened at the moment of creation, but also the vastness of the universe, the great care and design God built into the universe without which life could not exist anywhere. This month, we will further examine: . The "Origin of Life." Why life could not have come into existence by chance. You will learn about the scientific evidence that has refuted recent evolutionary assumptions about the origin of life, including the fact that there is no evidence of a pre-biotic soup anywhere on earth at the beginning of earth's history. . Did Man Evolve from the Apes? The answer is no, as scientists have found evidence that apes and man have a different brain size, and different DNA. Apes and man were separate creations. If you wish to order our programs on astronomy which detail what happened when God created the universe, as well as our programs on the above topics, plus the movie "Journey Toward Creation," and the book, Creator and the Cosmos, by astrophysicist and astronomer Dr. Hugh Ross, click here: (www.johnankerberg.org) This coming summer we will air our series The Great Debate (http://www.johnankerberg.org/catalog/GDSB1.html) featuring Mr. Ken Ham, Dr. Jason Lyle, Dr. Walter Kaiser, and Dr. Hugh Ross debating the "young earth" and "old earth" views of creation. New Taping on the Middle East In just a few days, I will be back before the cameras, taping a new series concerning the events taking place in the nations of the Middle East. These events increasingly mirror what the prophets predicted would come about in the last days. Once again I've invited news correspondent, Dr. Jimmy DeYoung, who has lived in Jerusalem for the last 12 years, and has interviewed all of the Prime Ministers of Israel, the Palestinian leaders, and the last two kings of Jordan. Also joining us will be Dr. Renald Showers, professor of biblical prophecy for more than 25 years, and author of many important books and articles. Middle East MeltdownHaving just written our new book, Middle East Meltdown ( http://www.johnankerberg.org/catalog/BMEM.html), there is a lot of new information I want to share with you. Everyone knows the Middle East is a mess, but most people do not know the underlying reasons why we have such turmoil. This new series will air the last week of March. Amazing Growth at Our Internet Site For those of you who faithfully give to our ministry, and for those of you considering it, I'd like to share with you an amazing statistic that shows how God is using your gifts. In the last 12 months 2.5 million people have come into our web site www.johnankerberg.org and registered 22 million hits. This means that on average, each person entering our web site is reading 10 different articles or viewing 10 different broadcasts. If they listen to a radio broadcast, that counts for one hit. If they read one article, that counts for another hit. If they watch our weekly television broadcast, that registers as a hit. More cause for praise comes from the fact that people from 185 different countries of the world are visiting our web site. China is now registering the third most hits of any country. That is a lot of people! I ask you to pray for all of them. Some are searching for salvation, some for encouragement from God's Word, and some for answers on how to present and defend the Christian faith. We receive a lot of calls for help similar to these excerpts taken from e-mails and letters we receive everyday. . What can I say to my professors about Jesus' family tomb? Does it really contain the remains of Jesus' body, along with Mary his mother, Joseph, and Jesus' brothers? Does the evidence show Jesus never resurrected from the dead? . I need to be delivered from illegal drug use and pornography. Please pray for me. . Because of your programs I began to take my faith seriously. I saw some of your early Mormon, JW and New Age programs back in the 1980s. The information on these and other programs led me to believe in the reliability of the Scriptures and also developed in me a keen interest in apologetics. . Praise the Lord! I was born again in Jesus Christ. Presently I am facing big problems. Please pray for me. . My sister, who is a widow, is living in Guam where we come from. She is openly inviting Jehovah's Witnesses to come into her home. Can you please help me? Where can I read up on Jehovah's Witnesses to let her know not to join this cultic church? . My daughter is doing a college paper on the topic "Is the Bible True?" Her professor is giving her a difficult time, raising the issue that there were other gospels written that were left out of the Bible. Can you direct us to resources that she can incorporate into her research? . Recently the pastors in my church have been advocating and teaching the use of visualization techniques for "hearing God's voice." What information do you have that exposes this false teaching? Know that we have placed over 2500 different articles at our web site at w ww.johnankerberg.org answering these and many other questions you may have. But please remember, your gifts make this outreach possible. Lives are changed, questions are answered, Christians are strengthened, all because you give! Let me say a personal thank you to you for the important part you play in reaching our world Sincerely, Dr. John F. Ankerberg President Alaska Cruise/Tour P.S.: If you are planning to join us for the Alaska Cruise/Tour this summer, July 6-18, I urge you to register today as the ship is selling out quickly!
