earnest today because we are important to others we think of our nation and of our sons and daughters manet in foreign power of those places and of all who rely the characters are a devotee and services and our power plant your hand to be on a friday we would not disappoint them whatever awkward things the dangerous days straight from arts may they abide by grace make us and wordplay more adequate and why it is more dependable and strong we pray before our whole law given time or say the threat for real and that humans and works now on the family is of many nations we pray for them

all those gun households speier land enslaved today writing that was like may bring tomorrow and console of awe at what that did rain yesterday and all the more because so much why is destroyed help us as a sacred trust for our own sake sound the world will be a troop of all homes we yet may preserve in love minutes and there are two and three we pray for the fellowship a biker make me you want mali is only it you and affected what an always hard bees the fighter inclusive and universal all the archives and nations one and indivisible carrying the

message that is the salvation of all people and that that man grand graves to his congregation of life servants and too all congregations here at present and let me their distance them our fellowship law difficulties disparage on oil theory in these kinds of trials and make us by thy help autumn light in our community is our response to mandate laurie need our reservoir of generosity of that were reached at the ends of the year and the prosthetic voice for the ride and so the people nominees live lives secret visitation who they have been made so

far praying hard for what no man's voice commands the open the policy has been workers and contests are deep desire to be our prayer make it where they will be called prayer and as we lift up our hearts or define help calm calm those secrets they're like we thought that's better so we asked its members for it all right we're always saying great hands all play such as we just have song but for all that monkey troops are people are having us travel all who believe

in god moreover there difficulty is much more searching than intellectual paul ever a thoughtful person sometimes wrestles with intellectual on certain take on signing go i go man pitted against document of brookline the last supper's discuss in classrooms are college students due date info sessions on the campus or that rollins in all mind question is hard to answer the day however our struggle concerning got involves i'm all intents and inward conflict gloria sprang from tragedy while back in israel's history so the book

of judges tell a man named gideon was sunk in cynicism and despair war had brought this terrible consequence up on his land is people fascinated on dancing it is ideal solid re branded is also in room apple thought oh god the god of this row who cared for his people he looked upon the pro tried today on his land and instinctive layoffs why why this so the record run that one day are defiant visitor came to him saying the alarm is with me and then ian cry about an answer if wal mart is where they are is why ryan is hors d'oeuvres

that question is being asked in all by millions around the world believed in god the day conference not so much the already coated berry as terrific fact a generation where dreams of decency and peace not only a few years ago from a big pile of us that christ and the pessimism well why and ideals in which we trust that have ruled last month of cynicism pan sauce all and where the aggregate human life on the morrow depravity and incompetence of man are appalled years ago when james russell lost market share enjoy holding back the creator

and saying it's about to make such a world it's made by a man rule does not have our car's know when he would say a black two who does not ask sometimes with mango puree and dismay if wal mart is where thats why then is all that's really fallen out the day our message is don't nod to that art all sides that it or be ashamed of it gideon would never have been a half a man he afterward became hettie not gone through at that tragic experience with its rich barry as challenging our god himself is part job great living and the great faith and from it have calmed some of the most creative consequences

in human health for one thing consider that a man with one eye is facing such an hour is at least looking straight at the realistic that human life is tragic even in the theater while comedies pleasant everyone instinctively fields that tragedy goes deeper no man has taken the measure on his character or his faith on joe he has climbed onto the tragedy all why today than men in india is shocking headline new but my friends for decades they tell us

some thirty million people in indiana had gone to bed hungry every night the casualties in our forces at the front are rightly a matter of deep and poignant concern but they tell us that neither the american dead moth the wounded at the front i know they saw mandate as the dead and wounded during the same it's from automobile accidents here at all all of which i am much more like it is not indeed be let go a tragic nature of war but it does illustrate the tragic nature of our human right now anyway emphasizing the fact that if we are going to have faith in god apple it must be in this kind of world

the graveyard that may be sheltered individuals where the plastic big question in comfort as they go it's still have shut their eyes on why tragic death that that have not long way that what they like to see saw in charge ballet a novel people take to ramos crucifix away from her and what they had been upended balked saying c i had was all sadness away from new well the kind of faith that what approach to take in a painted bar is no faith or our time farrakhan disparaging this trial of the soul the airport in dakar is when tragedy a

large man they believe that probably typical i celebrated that the last war if we eat today are infinity in place operates by our generations were tired but they aren't so when we think of god we cry and why are why this we are at the novel the map are not fooling ourselves anymore but seeing what upgrade the lever have always rarely see that end in this kind of world we must believe in god if we are to what have they been an apple but of course we must go further than that no knowledge of surprising truth that out of just this experience where they seem to

cry boston green day laborers in god that he really calm they leave that are not break play roles in most loyal up the pessimism and some of the most splendid faith in history started by saying i won't talk about that have like riot on to the old girl in this regard gideon him stop is typical out there is this rare he rose to beat combo never a care of his people are you going to rain all confidence and pay without all this world all played learning to interpret this may and go home and the record was finally right

one of the greatest things ever said i want any man was sad of ham was all over moore it's now when you do we're gonna bet that denied a man's song and disparagement and dark becoming as it were about a garment when we got home and so who are the people now it will be as you are we'll radicalize it makes no sense to say that great faith had bit through it comes out of pulp and pessimism that psychological way it makes sense when for example does her age rise to eight grade if i always when its most vivid we speak of these air last song true but as every

soldier know that announcement they are not they are all afraid when the prices climb ev'ry last man of them there's the brain audit it precisely then when her age is hard is that it becomes greatness like the fire not alone out but man who fears are planned wire calle sol is it with pate the popular and there's apprehension is that man most believe in god when life is easy and beautiful where are the flowers ours when under thus now laudanum absinthe music art and make sure that

we deal with words word the presence that this bird saw us with a joint op elevator call saul we believe in god we think plan why is huge well that is true but it did not been sucked that's variances that those who reunite samples of they are all remember r martin so ruby is your car members of power the world marathon solomon in awe has more and loving graham jesus was heard that god so called bluegrass but it was not there is made walls of the red light is wrong which he shook the world calvary where i was it was when i had

been a while when he cried my god my god why hast thou forsaken a man many groups on his father entered my hands like a man my spirit my friends this truth is important to us now these are hard times for faith in god we say indeed they are not just because of that these are great times or faith in god who are the more powerful they the world have known from libyan jail and all had come in just so it really is when they want difficult sean are one stop them or cry but there were days

when he was named in the gallery when his all new all i'm using his own words no anger rap and indignation richard cohen's seabed then got calling all his promising and paul joseph parker was one of the greatest preachers anger and other hand but once when his wife died he wrote in that bar car i became almost an atheist or got a headset is looked upon my prayers and treated like vacations with content if i had seen a dog inside lebanon as mine i would have corrected and help your donkeys that brought us back up on low cost me all dozen of fans

all been helpful way with roeder nurse amber night black and star wars hamas carlile was a man of naming can think about god in them are a lot of audience out rights of the days when i sleep puts it eyes as if that happens randy or wire longer as jaws all about lowering monster larry and high copper plating lay waiting to be devoured that's kind of the bible who is this ominous triumphantly cryin ho pollin god or i found that reason but my confidence and my god he's the same scientists who just has been saying my parents have been my food and

then light while they are continually say on the main worry is my god oh my god my solo is kept calm with longtime way to stand by those have gone over paradoxical it may be but it's the truth on tell a man has known but dark hours when the tragedy of michael price's him and daughter and gospel so he cannot know what i really mean to do louis and all from where they are now and see at least

one reason why this is so it is only inside cars' that we'd be almost poignant rain that desperate need to go one of the most astonishing book written since this war began his wife professor joe at the university of london's four years he has been one of the most militant agnostic or lost the ruse off is attacks on the years the men general land on christianity in particular atkins david and spain yet now he writes the book that say that though he is far from being an orthodox with him you have gone back through religious may not be a spy but because either the evil out why it felt correct that

the depravity of man so profound land tomorrow incompetence thought calling that with nothing at the heart of the universe pop mined material for three with no broad as both our sense ask them and thought man this troubling and precarious right yeah like can have no possible meaning in the end and man no pomp of warhol the youth in his own words and the dark days he has made the new da ponte got to let fans in both trouble were calm even though now granted that battle mall is no concrete real radical unanswered dignity and question

yet reading professor joe at the most arctic they found out that want to power and that is when all is going well the need of god can easily grow dim and we not by our bones yale and energy get what we want atlanta near us thought of this arrived when it difficult not only to really even got my friends but then all i am whatever out some man believes are about not believe then he must believe in line that it has sent ten meaning that it comes from from flares they've made by something and is going from whether it wanted really to live at all i

bet there is no mind in the universe an all purpose through it and all that and they are headed that we're only a terrifying accidentally inhabiting the us can all what chen planet in the sky that is that there is no god then hall and juan really and why on all the time there is something the analogy that in seth on believing in line recall how william james what it's like being on a real fight in which something is eternally gain for the universe by fix it if you know better than i became a private theatrical from which

one may withdraw it well right right as in there was something really why owed in the universe lately with all our ideology isn't faithful muslims are needed to redo and first of all to read the moll the car from india is an iron tears fall why do you like our radio fight the nba with great issue that they were then given about you to be saved them further and without power not our phones that made

us or write his nerves behind the floyd you and so i'll just say it arose as beth when the struggle is desperate and the need to inspire the grapefruit grooves have risen up and not under sunny skies so much as advanced the darkness backgrounds in history try on combat formations like the voters have come on my department's is our grant our are never fail in our help or be automated all about all markle a new group trail in that kind of faith does not come from galilee and both sides called with ballroom but from

power for a and a cross i want that to happen here today from sol song and go out and pass it and discovering a new that outlet just such hours maybe like kerry and rise to its greatest height and burn with its longest play one step further however artfully warrant we are at all like didion we not only feeling days like these the need to go but levi and that practical way we can naught as a pig to tell us something argument alone god is a heater

but in actual experience he's something else altogether he is someone greater than ourselves who demands our people their duty and was sunk involvement in that bill when the divine voice said to him one day col embarrassed by my and st louis braille from and that maybe you have why not send the union was a rollin financing after all he did the lean and something i believe in as her all added some referred to athletes mr lowe cause them what might come of that this why

is this may evolve we belong to something greater than themselves he was and in the last analysis on man brought you just that what do you belong to they're my friends is a fact even human nature on which i've long as a warlock atheism will records many here this morning in boughton perplexity may have been saying if the lord is with us why why men is all this big problems but underneath all such on certainty and questioning something else is present in every one of those we do belong to

something greater than ourselves we do believe for example in liberte and democracy a underworld organized for peace we cannot hold the best ourselves off our elemental character as to deny such raids and loyalty it was three very crisis that seems to destroy the god of theory the god of our real devotion rises more commanding than ever on piano some of us would gladly laid on our lives if we could make only honorable contribution to abiding peace and justice and such devotion mainly revealing not go home or god indeed lot harder

than when cars were mariners reached the southern tip of apropos it was a terrific place they call it like a post on but afterwards in mind your perspective they saw that the open door to the army and then changed its name no longer in all the cables own but the very awkward the hole well we are now international is at the cape of stalin and it corrected what made well not bowing but that's not the final name by richard shelby no it drew and biggio one dollar up for the whole

world archives for peace free mammogram frequent but delauter says how can you believe in god in the presence of the world's evil the beaver answers how can you right away this inborn quality a man brian barrett that's creative they have hoped that a human like the dignity and meaning how can you liked playing this without broad two protons and electrons growing it lying accidentally produce character like this the base your life is mysterious we're hiring all the fringes of its main you'll recall what thomas edison

once wrote even about the physical world we don't know the million are one percent about anything that is n roll we don't know all the water and we don't know what line is we don't know what gravitation is on our feet we don't know what you represent is we don't know what he is we don't know anything about magnetism we have a lot of hypotheses about these things but that is all but we do not let our ignorance of all the main deprive are there you well sometimes i feel that way about talk

with the truth that hollande searchable our good judgment that way in half treating all nevertheless just because of that one does not there is a god the reality is here is very cool fact that no one can deny in grade personalities that norma curry of it they can possibly tell you yeah i'll say or something everlasting they work while and the acclaimed it up that made for a writer so long ago america will happen but could happen here this morning are

discouraged and dodging man rose up and became one of whom it could be slowed those rare double or will they fell with it yeah i know my friends with hungary of hearts we do long for the lab day when we can enjoy a ken of pollens are down there not there but here in the garden not get them and where we are now fate has had it so mine an exhibition may god bless all three and one does not think of galliano i'm
