necessary to prove the existence of god to anyone christians may labour hard to defend their trust in god yet the sceptic scoffer and unbeliever pretend to remain un convinced what a dif ferent message the bible has about mans knowledge of god mans knowledge everyone knows him because that which may be known of god is manifest in them for god hath shown it unto them roml19 this striking statement declares that there is no true agnostic no knowledge or true atheist no god in the world how do men know god in romans 120 we read for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being un derstood by the things that are made even his eternal power and godhead so that they are without excuse everyone knows him even his eternal power and godhead this knowledge comes through the fact that creation speaks clearly of the creator and secondly as romans 215 declares their conscience also bearing witness before god we are all without excuse everyone knows him mans response what is mans response to his knowledge of god the apostle paul describes this response by saving because that when they knew god they glorified him not as god neither were thank ful rom 121 is not this true is not this a valid description of our society today blessed with so much yet neither giving glory nor thanks to god in failing to acknowledge god the mind of man loses touch with reality as we read in romans 121 but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened professing themselves to be wise they became fools yes our society tends to deny the reality of god and look upon those who deny him and scoff at his existence as the wise and scientific trusting in god is apparently the preoccupation of the weak old or those in trouble gods justice for this cause god gave them up unto vile affections god gives men their own way they choose the paths of sin the cruel consequences are of their own making while in rebellion against god men find it con venient to deny any knowledge of him and even as they did not like to retain god in their knowledge god gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient proper or decent rom 128 men prefer to try to rid their minds of god while enjoying those things they know bring gods wrath and judgment upon them how foolish it is to con tinue in a course of action which will result in eternal condemnation true wisdom is not found in sending a man to the moon or in finding a cure for cancer rather the go to the bank with the flexible rate on loans save brices

little more unemploy ment insurance than the law allowed now hes in trouble he didnt report earnings and work while getting ui i mean it was only a few bucks youve got millions we dont have any money it all belongs to the people of canada and when you deliberately claim more than youre allowed by law youre stealing from your neighbours friends fellow employees employers and the government of canada its our job to pay ui benefits fairly efficiently and according to law its also our job to make sure the pro gram is not abused by those who have little concern for their fellow citizens or the law of the land getting ui when youre not available for work is abuse pure and simple lots of people rip offui why are you picking on me and howld youfind out not so fast the vast majority of our claimants are completely honest they use ui as it was intended as a financial bridge between jobs and no ones picking on you anyone we find abusing unemploy ment insurance will be dealt with under the law if youre caught money improper ly claimed must be paid back in full it could mean you pay an administrative penalty or you could face prosecution under the unemployment insurance act or the criminal code of canada conviction means a criminal record ui employs almost 500 fulltime trained claims investigators and like any modern organization we use new datahandling techniques to their best advantage we match up records of employment with claim records to find the cheaters who dont report earnings while theyre on ui we dont like to prosecute wed rather avoid that painful process by telling people that if they cheat theyll probably be caught 1 never really believed it was criminal some peoples attitudes toward unemployment insurance have been hard to explain people who would never consider shoplifting or outright robbery have been willing to hide earnings from us to get more ui benefits than the law allows almost as if it were socially acceptable or even fun everyone knows this goes on no one knows better than we do suppose you lose your job if youve been paying into unemploy ment insurance and you qualify you have a right to benefits and we will respect that right as long as you remember your obligations too your obligation is to play it straight with us and as long as you do that were proud to help you the unemployment insurance commission and the
