Well its special to me. Its my home. Its my whole world.
Yet if we look at it in view of the whole universe, it seems very small in fact even insignificant.
A well educated man once told me he believed there was life on other planets in this vast universe. Perhaps he was an evolutionist, perhaps he believed if life could start in just a pool of mud here on earth, it could start in a pool of mud on other planets. I do not believe we evolved from some slim. I believe the Bible is true when it says:
Ps139:13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.
Ps139:14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
Ps139:15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Ps139:16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
Ps139:17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
Another educated man told me he felt God had created men on other planets as well as earth since the universe is so big, because the earth is so small, how could we be the only place that God would create man. How could this small blue ball orbiting around a relatively small star like the sun which is only a spec in a galaxy (our Milky Way ) among thousands of galaxies be the only place that God would put humans beings. Are we to believe this place called earth would be that special to God?
Well I do not claim to know much, in fact there maybe millions of planets with life on them. But this I know, Earth is special to God.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Another proof of God’s love for this world is Jesus will come again and set up His throne on Earth to be our King of King and Lord of Lords on earth.

BEST POEM IN THE WORLD
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven’s door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp–
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
Bob, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, ’What’s the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How’d all these sinners get up here?
God must’ve made a mistake.
’And why is everyone so quiet,
So somber – give me a clue.’
’Hush, child,’ He said,
’they’re all in shock.
No one thought they’d be seeing you.’
JUDGE NOT!!
Remember…Just going to church doesn’t make you a
Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
Every saint has a PAST…
Every sinner has a FUTURE!
