I never cease to be amazed at the overwhelming evidence of design that so engulfs our world. Only the fool would say there is no God. I recently came across this little tid-bit of information regarding water. It serves as a constant reminder that "God hath not left Himself without witness."

"Water is one of the most plentiful and, at the same time, most necessary substances on earth. Obviously, we know that it is necessary to drink six to eight glasses of water per day to have good health. We need water for cooking, for cleansing and many other essential daily functions. However, water has many more essential properties and necessary functions beyond what we normally think. Water has the property of absorbing vast quantities of oxygen at low temperatures. This makes life possible for the creatures of the seas and the lakes. Water has the unusual property that its maximum density is at four degrees centigrade, ...

Life after death is not exclusive to New Testament Christianity. The question presented in the title of this article is as ancient as man himself. Job asked this question (Job 14:14), and the answer from heaven, both to Job and the faithful patriarchs of old, has been a resounding “yes”!

To avoid capture and execution, Sisera fled to the tent of Heber the Kenite, his friend. For Sisera, however, there was no escape. He couldn’t run and hide from God’s justice. Heber’s wife Jael killed Sisera by driving a tent peg through his head while the great general slept.

Deborah’s song in Judges 5 paints a sad picture of Sisera’s mother sitting by a window waiting for her son to return to her.

“Why is his chariot so long in coming,” she cried. “Why tarries the clatter of his chariot?” (Judges 5:28.)

Sisera’s mother waits in vain for a son who will never answer her forlorn cries. He lies dead in Heber’s tent and cannot hear.
