<TITLE>13. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 Now, here some years ago, I was reading an article where an infidel crossed across the country. So smart, so intellectual, till ministers wouldn't even tackle him. Been about fifty years ago, and he a--he is converting people from Christianity to infidelism. And finally, he got broke down in his health, and he went to Colorado for a rest. One day he was in a camp, and he walked out, and he begin to look at those rocks. And he said, "Is it true, am I wrong? Did--did is there a Being that put you there?"
When them trees are waving back and forth, and the wind, "Adam, where art thou?" You see?
And finally, that infidel setting out there on a log, looking at those rocks, fell on his face, and said, "I'm wrong. God be merciful to me a sinner."
No wonder the Scripture said, "If they hold their peace, the rocks will immediately cry out." Something's going to happen. If a man looks around in the universe, he can find God. Don't you believe God is in His universe? Certainly, God is in His universe.

L-40 Now, we're going to take God in His Word, just for a minute. How many believes God's in His universe? Sure He's in His universe. We could go on all afternoon, but we don't want to. We want to hit these other two points.
Now, can you see God in His universe? How many can see God in His universe? In all these different things? Sure you can. Now, let's see if God's in His Word.
God is in His Word so much that, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us."

L-41 God is in His Word. We believe that. He keeps It. We can tell it when God speaks anything, we watch that Word comes right down, and manifested just exactly what He says comes to pass. So we know God is in His Word. He told Abraham, he was going to have a baby by Sarah, and he waited twenty-five years; God kept His Word. Told Noah it was going to rain, and all the things that He told. He told a hundred and twenty that, go up, wait at Jerusalem till the day of Pentecost had fully come. He was going to send a promise of the Father. He kept His Word. He always keeps His Word.
He said, "These things that I do shall you also." He keeps His Word. "A little while and the world (the world order) will see Me no more, yet you'll see Me. I'll be with you, in you, to the end of the world." He keeps His Word. God is in His Word.

L-42 Here, as I said the other night, "God is... 'The Word of God is the Seed', Jesus said, 'that a sower went forth sowing, and this Seed, It sprung up and--and so forth.'"
Now, every seed, if it's the right kind of seed, it will produce what it is. It'll reproduce itself again. Some few... About three years ago, or four, I was setting at a--at a confectionery eating a--an ice cream with an old Methodist preacher friend of mine. He's gone on to glory now. And we were setting there talking about the goodness of God. He was the same old minister that made up that song, "We let down the bars. We let down the bars. We compromised with sin. We let down the bars, the sheep got out, but how did the goats get in?"
I--I said, "Well, that's easy you let down the bars. That's all, you just begin to compromise, and that's how the goats got in, eating up all the sheep's food." And they don't like that; they have to have weeds, ecclesiastical weeds. Goats gets--gets--is satisfied with weeds, but a sheep has to have real food.
