Who You Are

Hello Everyone,

I read a lot of material.  Some of it is rather long and the words are eloquent and flow so well. 

When I read Charlie Daniel’s stuff, I see simple and direct phrases that so often portray simple country logic, direct, and so often, better than the fancy stuff.  Charlie comes from the heart.  It would be hard to ask for better! 

I pray he is recovering well from his stroke. 

Veritas Vos Liberabit,

Who You Are
By Charlie Daniels
Feb 1, 2010

No matter who you are, no matter how rich you are or how much power you have, no matter your resources or your connections, your background or your fame, one of these days you're going to be in a position when you realize that the only help you're going to get will come from Almighty God.

If you're sick, no matter how good your doctor is or how potent your medicine, you will have to realize that doctors can only treat you, healing comes from divine sources and only divine sources.

Every breath we take is a blessing from above. Our ability to walk, talk and reason, our individual talents and abilities are all gifts that God has endowed us with, making no two of us exactly alike. You need go no further than our fingerprints to prove this.

We are all wondrously made in the image of God. We did not descend from some prehistoric simian ancestor, but were created and given our individuality by the hand of God.

Human beings are not the end product of evolution, but of a compassionate creation.

The earth is not just some piece of rock that was separated from the sun in the big bang and just happened to fall into the place at the third place in the solar system.

There is nothing random in the whole universe, it is designed and maintained, there is not one star out of place and untold galaxy after galaxy are exactly where they're supposed to be, doing whatever God designed them to do.

The earth is located in the perfect place in the solar system to sustain life. Could that be by chance? Not a chance.

Have you ever stopped and considered the intricacies of the human body, the brain and the conscience; or the way a tree lies dormant in the winter and gloriously comes back to life in the spring?

Did you ever think about how the water on earth never disappears but is moved around and recycled over and over again, evaporating into the air and coming back again as life giving rain? By chance, couldn't be.

Did you ever consider the wonder of birth, how a tiny baby is infused with life in it's mother's womb, but doesn't breath until it is delivered into the world?

There is no way that this world and its inhabitants just happened. There is no way that man with an eternal soul just crawled up out of some primordial ooze in the form of a microscopic amoeba and became the intelligent creature he is.

There is no way that man and animal came from the same original blob of whatever it is supposed to be. That is impossible; man is capable of thought, capable of love and has an eternal soul.

Animals, no matter how smart you perceive them to be, operate by instinct, are incapable of real love and have no soul.

I know that some of the supposedly smartest people on this planet believe in the evolutionary theory. They may be super-intelligent but they believe a lie, a lie straight out of the pits of hell.

Everybody has a moment of truth in their lives, it could be lying on an operating table in a hospital, or a time when you're in imminent physical danger or your world is just about to fall apart for some reason or another.

There will come a time in everybody's life when they will become absolutely helpless, when the only thing that can save you is something greater than yourself.

Who do you call on at a time like that? Mother Earth? Mother Nature? Charles Darwin?

There is only one power that is greater than any crisis you'll ever face and only one source of help.

His name is Jehovah, Almighty God, Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords, Creator of all that exists, and every thesis that has ever been written, all the historical facts that have ever been twisted, all the theories of imminent men, the governments, armies and weapons of the world will never change that fact.

It is eternal.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops, and for our country

God Bless America
