Genesis Part 6

INTRO: The other day a telephone man was here. This morning Genesis 1:1-8 were read for us. These are tremendous facts. I don't know if you noticed those little red flags out there. The telephone man was out here. He marked out where the telephone line runs underground so that we don't dig up the telephone line when we put up the church sign. He said, “After I'm done I'll come in and have you sign some papers.” I said, “Well, are you a church man?” And he said, not really. And I told him I'd like to show him what goes on in a church. And he said he wasn't that interested. And so I said, “Well, what do you think of the Bible.” And he said he thought he was a little too open minded for just the Bible. And I said that was great. To be open minded is great, are you open enough to consider the Bible. But he found out he was not nearly as open minded as he thought he was. He said he really stuck with things like facts and scientific things; factual things. I said that was wonderful. Then I said, “Have you considered the fact that you must die? You see, we have seen from every body else that some day we have to die. Now if you are a factual person, have you considered this?” Now he found out he wasn't as interested in facts as he thought he was either. I trust he went home and considered what life is all about
