Did Emery lose his religion or his relationship? Was the relationship ever there, or is it possibly still quietly there today? MEETS Emery Wang Proving atheism to be false wouldn't prove Christianity to be true. Absolute truth Atheism or agnosticism? Is atheism even possible? You cannot know all evidence for or against God, therefore you cannot say there is no evidence for God. You could claim that there is no gold in China, but the claim could not be proven to be true unless you have searched the entire country yourself. Pink unicorns / Screaming Blue Ants. Do children need punished for doing wrong? Focusing on God only being good (flood, disaster, etc.) seems to hide that. He is also righteous and just? Good isn't good without righteousness. Losing religion vs. losing a relationship Persecution is inevitable for true Christianity (Paul writing to Timothy - 2 Timothy 3:12) CLOSING Prayer Requests Pray for Emery and other atheists, as they continue to attempt at proving God to be useless in their lives.

Toronto Maple Leafs Alpha Canada Are you personally challenged or inspired by certain individuals or ministries? Which ways do you personally see God at work through technology? (Eastpoint Community Church - new members from website) Contacting and working with GateSeven Media Group Do you have a prayer request you would like for us to take with us this week? Growth and wisdom in dealing with ministry and corporate clients Music is "Run" by my favorite band - Kutless. Song is on self-titled album. ETERNITY Poem - Call Waiting Study - Idolatry Maybe in the form of anything Becoming a friend to the world means hating God What blessing are we missing? What's the first step we should take? Why do people today hate being bored? The real issue I believe centers around what we do when we are given time. Everyone can adjust their schedule. Making time is not the problem. The problem we all have is that in order to put our faith into practice we must come to terms that God is God - priority number one. What if we had to keep our other gods a secret? My challenge to you is that God is well worth being excited about. There's nothing else that desires our praise like He does! CLOSING Prayer Requests Pray for GateSeven Media Group as the transition from a small to medium organization, and with the decisions in working with businesses and ministries. Take time this week to cover yourselves in prayer - challenge yourself to review the idols in your life.

MEETS Emery Wang and Norton Herbst Background and purpose of your podcast Give me a few topics you both see yourself disagreeing on the most and why? Do you give your children rules and expect them to obey? By marrying someone are we simply sharing life or do we find ourselves fulfilled when with someone else? What are your beliefs in adultery? Homosexuality is obviously an abomination in God's eyes, how do you see it? Leviticus 20:13 and Romans 1:27 Have you found meaning in life without any point of reference or assistance? What do you take from the global response of Christianity over time? Richard Dawkins (Wired magazine) is saying that atheism is a movement, with near 30 million non-religious people in the US. Why hasn't it grown until recently? Why do atheists, like Dawkins, believe Christians are less intelligent? Dawkins seems angered that an atheist hasn't and couldn't get elected to Congress? Albert Einstein - "Uncertainty Principle" was God does not play dice - Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. Galileo Galilei - I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
