God’s Work Speaks for Itself

Romans 1:20 says, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – His eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”

In preparation for a message, “What Happened 280 Days Before Christmas,” I was stunned by the amazing process of the creation of new life! From zygote to infant in 40 weeks!

How did that blob develop a beating heart and a spine? How did it know to develop arms and legs, and where to put them?

The answer is in Psalm 139:13-14, “For you created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

God’s design is so very interesting! Even our fingers are examples. The corrugations on the skin covering the fingers, we call them “fingerprints”, their arrangement distinguishes you from all other people. But, just think how difficult it would be trying to pick up small objects with slick, uncorrugated fingers!

A friend of mine, a medical doctor, was converted from atheism while working on a cadaver in medical school. He said, “I was dissecting the forearm and was amazed by the marvelous design which permitted the arm to rotate the hand 180 degrees, and the sliding joints in the wrist which permitted the hand to move in 360 degrees! I knew this was the design of a creator God, not a process of evolution!”

God is a great engineer!

Another miracle is water. Most objects contract in a very cold atmosphere. When fitting bearings in machinery with extremely close tolerances, I would put them in a freezer overnight to “shrink” them a little for easier insertion. But water is different. It expands ten percent when it freezes and that is why ice floats! Icebergs are an illustration of this. If water contracted when in turned to ice, it would sink and kill the aquatic life beneath it!

God is a great engineer!

Another miracle of God’s creative engineering is this spaceship we call earth. He equipped it with everything we need for the journey…until He returns to take us with Him!

God is a great engineer!

One thing most folks never consider is the fact that the earth is spinning at almost 1,000 miles an hour at the equator. What keeps us from spinning off this globe of earth?

OH, He thought of that too! He created the force of Gravity!

God is a GREAT ENGINEER!

I pray that you will allow the one who designed and created you to be your savior and life director… For His GLORY and for your benefit!

Bridgette's Story: 17 Years of Waiting for Life-Changing Surgery

By Michael Ryer • May 13, 2026

For seventeen years, Bridgette has carried a burden no child should ever bear. What started as a small red spot on her face when she was just a baby grew into a massive vascular tumor that doctors across Uganda refused to operate on. Too risky, they said. The tumor could bleed too much. She might not survive. Come back when she's older. Come back when it's smaller. Come back, come back, come back. Bridgette and her mother, Rose, heard "no" for seventeen years. But today, something has finally changed. Bridgette is now on medication that is actively shrinking her tumor. Dr. Paul Mulyamboga, Amigos Internacionales' Director of Medical Services and founder of Doctors on Mission, is monitoring her progress. When the tumor reaches an operable size, he will refer her to Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala for the vascular surgery that could change her life. There's just one problem: surgery can only happen if the funding is already in place . If we don't raise $12,000 before Bridgette's tumor is ready for surgery, she will have to wait again. And after seventeen years of waiting, we cannot let that happen. How It Started — A Small Red Spot
