FAMILY ENCOURAGER "Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.” (Ephesians 4:15, ESV)

August 15-21, 2016

Weber Road Church of Christ Sharing God’s Word with

Corpus Christi & the World

Oh, the happiness, many times over One of my favorite passages to read

and study is Psalm 1:1-6. I find that this

passage is a spring where we can draw

so much wisdom to feed our souls. In

verse one David uses three negative

aspects we need to stay away from as

Christians. In verse two David gives us

the tools to f ight against the

compromise of our faithfulness. He

reminds us in verse three that the

blessings we enjoy by meditating in

God’s word day and night.

The psalm begins saying--- “Blessed is

the man who walks not in the counsel

of the wicked” (v 1). One of the reasons I love to study

languages is because of the beautiful

ways words can convey thoughts. In

Hebrew, the word for “blessed” can be

translated “Oh, the happiness, many

times over.” When we do not casually

walk in the set path or counsel of the

wicked we find happiness many times

over.

True happiness comes through the

active search, study and application of

God’s word in our lives. If we do this

we will be like trees planted by streams

of water, yielding fruit in the due season

and our leaf will not wither and in all

that we may do we will prosper.

Are you experiencing the happiness many times over by doing God’s will

today?

—Christian Torres

We are very happy to have so many

young people who are college age at

Weber Road! Over the past few weeks, we

also have had families to visit because they

have a son or daughter that will be

attending a local college.

Weber Road already has an

excellent College Bible Class

on Sunday mornings taught by

Randy Calloway. Presently, they

are studying the Letter to the

Romans.

Plans are also being made for

this group to get together and

have various scheduled activities

every few weeks. Here are a few events::

Sunday, August 28th: The Calloway’s

will take this group out to eat pizza after

morning worship.

Wednesday, September 21st: The

College Age Program college age group will go to Fuddruckers

after Bible class and the devotional.

Saturday, October 1st: The

Hammitt’s will host this group in their

home at 6:30 PM. Food will be served!

Saturday, October 15th: The Stark’s

will host the college group in

their home for food and fun!

Details will be announced later.

Saturday, October 29th:

The Jackson’s will host this

group for Paintball and a

Cookout near Mathis, Texas.

Details coming soon.

If you are interested in hosting

the college age for an activity, please call

the church office for more information.

We hope to encourage many to remain

faithful to God with the help of these

activities! -Mark Hammitt

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of America’s most well-

known evolutionary astrophysicists. He has worked as

the Director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York

City for two decades. He also frequently appears on

television shows such as The Colbert Report and Real Time

with Bill Maher. Though Dr. Tyson has made some

oppressive comments regarding theism (and theists) in

the past,1 he is not an atheist; Tyson is agnostic: he

admits that he is “someone who doesn’t know” and

“hasn’t really seen evidence for” God, but “is prepared to

embrace the evidence” if it is ever presented.2

Interestingly, Dr. Tyson recently made some outlandish comments at the 2016 Isaac Asimov

Memorial Debate at the American Museum of Natural History about the nature of the Universe.

According to Tyson, “the likelihood of the universe being a simulation ‘may be very high.’”3 News

organizations reported that Tyson indicated “it’s not too hard to imagine that some other creature

out there is far smarter than us” (emp. added).4 Perhaps we’re just “some sort of alien

simulation.”5 Tyson went so far as to say, “[I]t is easy for me to imagine that everything in our lives is

just the creation of some other entity for their entertainment. I’m saying, the day we learn that it is

true, I will be the only one in the room saying, I’m not surprised.”6

Isn’t it baffling what evolutionary agnostics and

atheists will believe and what they won’t (or don’t)

believe? Dr. Tyson is a very educated scientist who

seems to have no problem imagining that god-like

aliens made our Universe for their pleasure despite

the complete lack of evidence for such a belief.

Yet, at the same time, Tyson refuses to believe in

God because he does not believe there

is enough evidence to come to the conclusion

that God actually created the Universe for His own

glory (Psalm 19:1-4; Isaiah 43:7) and to be inhabited

by His human creatures (Isaiah 45:18), who are

made in His image (Genesis 1:26-27).

One thing that Dr. Tyson did allude to that everyone should freely admit based upon the evidence:

“[I]t is easy for me to imagine that everything in our lives is just the creation of some other

entity” (emp. added). In truth, Creation makes sense.7 “For every house is built by someone, but He

who built all things is God” (Hebrews 3:4, emp. added). “The heavens declare the glory” of the

eternal, omnipotent Creator (Psalm 19:1), not some supposed alien civilization (who, in turn, would

need an explanation for their existence if they

really did exist).8 Sadly, men such as Dr. Tyson

seem so open to the idea of “super” aliens, yet

not to The Supernatural Creator, Who will

judge our actions or lack thereof at the end of

time (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
