<TITLE>05. Par 17-20</TITLE>L-17 I was with a great doctor here not long ago, doctor of science. He give a--a degree to a boy, a young fellow, a friend of mine. And as he embraced him, as receiving his degree in science, he was from Washington, and he embraced him and pinned this thing on him. And he said, "Son, after all these years of studying in science," he said... In Washington or somewhere, some hall of science, I forget how many books was written on the latest science.
He said, "It would take you at least two years, if you read day and night, to read them all through. And by the time you got them all read through, then you'd have to discard everything that you learned, it's advanced so fast, till them things that's scientifically proven now would be scientifically proven to be wrong then."

L-18 I stood and waited. That night that same man at Shreveport, Louisiana, set in my meeting. I'd seen him. I said, "Now, I'm glad to have the doctor here with us tonight." And I heard his remark what he said.
That when this young student, who's here now with us, a leader of this music here tonight on the platform, but if he would take two years how science will absolutely prove that the things that they once proved to be right, they proved again to be wrong. When I went to school they told me the sun set perfectly still and the world went around it. That's scientifically proved to be a lie now. The sun runs also. That's right. See?
So I suppose Joshua wasn't so ignorant after all when he prayed for God to stop the sun. See? It always comes back to the Book.
Here sometime ago science said, "Oh, my. Isn't that awful. That that Bible says that God said, 'As a man thinketh in his heart.' There's no mental facilities in his heart to think by."
But you know what? Last year they found out God was right. The soul lives in the heart and not in the mind. That's right. So God was right. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Not as his intellectuals introduced to him, but as his soul tells him. It can't fail there.

L-19 Now, so I said to that scientist. I said, "Sir, them books will fail and always will fail. But I can tell you a Book that you'll never have to take back anything It ever says. It'll always be proven to be true. That's God's Word."
"Heavens and earth will pass away," said Jesus. "But My Word shall never fail." I love that.
Abraham trusted in God's Word. And we're children of Abraham today, because we trust in God's Word. We believe, regardless of what people says, and what theologians say, educators say, science says. If it's contrary to the Word, every man's word is a lie and God's is true. It's the way I believe it. And no matter how strange it may seem. I believe it to be true anyhow.

L-20 Now, I want you to notice. Abraham... Now, we're going to finish up the text just for a few minutes before we start the prayer line.
Could you imagine this little boy, Isaac, being born? Abraham and Sarah... Now, about a hundred and fifteen years old was Sarah and about a hundred and twenty five years old was Abraham. Way... here's the promised child, that pretty little boy about sixteen years old, little hair hanging down over his shoulder, a handsome little lad. How he loved his father and his mother and just as obedient...
You know, children, that's what you ought to be to your father and mother. I think it's awful when you hear young people say, "My old man and my old woman."
