Many of our youth and young adults preparing to return to the class- room. As 1 was thinking about that, 1 was reminded of a story about a professor ai a college with a reputation for being tough oit Christians. At the f'irsi class eveî-y semester, he asked if anvonie \Vis a Chiristian atic proceeded Io degrade thiem and 10o mock their, stateirient otf faithi. One semester, lieiskcd the questioni and a yoLincg man raised his hand when asked if anyone was a Christian. The pi-ofessor asked, "Did God make every- thing, young man'?" He replied, "Yes, -sir! he did!" The professor responded, "If God made everything, then He made cvii." The student didn'4 have a response and the professor was A Church for Your Heart, Mmnd & Spirit The SanEfuary and YOU!

Absolute ziro is when there is absoluïely no heat, but coid does flot realiy exîsi. We have only created that te-m to describe how we feel when heat is flot there." The young man continued, "Sir, is there such a thing as dark?' Once agamn, the professor responded "of course there is." And once again, the student replîed "Actually, Sir darkness does flot exist. Darkness is really only the absence of light. Darkness is oniy a tenn man developed bo descrihe svhat hap- pens when thiere is no lighl pres- FInally. tlhe youing man asked. -Sir. is there suich a thing as The prolessor responded. '0l' L ouirse. We hiave rapes and mnur- ders and violence everywhere In the world; those things are evil." The student repiied. "Actually. Sir, evil does not exist. Evil is simply the absence of God. Evil is a term man developed 10 describe the absence of God. God did flot cl-cate evil. It isn't like truth, or love, which exist as virtues like heat or light. Evil is simply the state whcre God is not present, like cold without heat or darkness without light." The professor had nothing to say... Discover God!
