The Friday Night Greetings video for tonight is below, in which I discuss some of my family&#8217;s recent &#8220;wrestlings&#8221; with technology and a meditation from that. In addition, I came across a nice animated video discussing one of the more popular arguments for God&#8217;s existence &#8212; called the &#8220;Kalam Cosmological Argument&#8221; and popularized by Dr. William Lane Craig. It&#8217;s simple and easy to follow and it tends to give atheists fits, which is always nice. \ud83d\ude42 Of course, we all have our own reasons for believing in God&#8217;s existence, and Mr. Armstrong used to discuss his reasons powerfully!

It&#8217;s amazing how hard some people work to escape that conclusion!]<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6CulBuMCLg0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Howdy, everyone!
