God's Not Dead Message Lyrics


In the beginning, God created the heavens & the earth.
There is no question in scientists' minds that there was a beginning, but what they can't answer is how it began, or more importantly, why?
Why is there something rather than nothing?
Is the universe merely a product of random chance?
Or does it reflect the order in information that speaks of an intelligent mind behind it all.
Some have suggested that the universe could pop into existence out of nothing, but what they fail to tell you is that, in quantum terms, nothing isn't really nothing; it includes the laws of physics.
For example, the notes that you hear from this keyboard tonight could not be made without it first existing.
So either you believe in an eternal set of laws, or an eternal law-giver.
Then there's the question of life and how did it begin.
Some scientists and philosophers say evolution can explain it all.
Unfortunately, evolution is a theory that only tells you what happens once you have life; it can't tell you how it began.
And the chances that it could have happened by chance are staggering.
Have you ever pocket-texted someone by accident?
You might get a few letters that are strung together that make no sense.
If someone texted you and said, "
Don't tell anyone but I cheated on the test." The chances you could claim you pocket-texted that would be extremely high.
But what if it was an ordered sentence of 3 billion letters?
That's the intelligent information in our human genome, in our DNA.

The most accurate statement about us, as humans, is that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
But for the question of why we are here: we were created for relationship; relationship with God and relationship with each other.
But something happened to this wonderful creation.
A virus was introduced into this system called "evil." Evil is the opposite of good, and evil is a choice, it's a wrong choice.
And the evidence of morality itself again points to the God that made us.
Because without God there would be no basis for morality.
As the Russian writer Dostoyevsky said, "
If there is no God, than all things are permissible." But why would a loving God allow evil?
It was the risk he took to give mankind a real freedom to choose.
And evil would not have the last word.
God entered His own creation, as a man, Jesus Christ.
He lived the life that we should have lived by choosing to do good and not evil.
He died the death we should have died in our place.
He took the punishment for our evil upon Himself on the cross.
And three days later, He rose again from the dead, proving He was the Son of God and He ultimately broke the power of evil over us.
As Jesus said, "
I was dead, but I'm alive forevermore.
I have the keys of death and hell." But it's when Christ comes to live inside of us that we give the ultimate proof that He indeed exists.
The God that created the galaxies lives on the inside of every heart that believes the gospel.
And He is ready to roar like a lion.
GOD IS NOT DEAD.

The Newsboys are a Christian pop/rock band formed in 1987 in Mooloolaba, Australia (although they soon relocated to Nashville, Tennessee). Its core members, John James and Peter Furler, originally hailed from Australia where they played in a band together called The News.

Newsboys are considered one of the most popular bands in the Christian music industry. They have had numerous hit singles on the Christian pop charts, including Shine (1994), Take Me To Your Leader (1996) and He Reigns (2003).

In 2000, they helped start and headlined the annual, travelling CCM festival Festival Con Dios with Audio Adrenaline and The O.C. Supertones. It was known for featuring popular Christian bands and its motorcross stunts.

Steve Taylor has produced many of their hit albums, and several of the songs he has worked on with the band (such as Breakfast, Take Me To Your Leader) feature Taylor's humor and quaint lyrics.

During the Step Up To The Microphone tour, the band featured the drums on a rotating platform that could tilt downward up to 90 degrees. In fact, there were two sets of drums and Peter Furler (the original drummer) and Duncan Phillips would wear seat belts, so they wouldn't fall out, and have a rotating drum-off. This feature is still used on their tours and has grown to be quite popular.

In 2003, Jody Davis left the band to care for his sick daughter, Bethany. His replacement, bryan olesen, left in 2006 to work on his own band, Casting Pearls. The band announced in January 2007 that Paul Colman would be replacing Bryan.

The Newsboys released their new album, Go, on October 31st, featuring songs such as their hit single I Am Free, along with new singles Wherever We Go, and Something Beautiful. In March 2007, a collection of remixes from the Go was released as Go Remixed.

On December 31st 2006, bass player Phil Joel departed from the band to devote more time to family and personal goals.

In January 2009, the band announced that guitarist Jody Davis would return, replacing Paul Colman. Colman continues to pursue his solo career.

In March, 2009, it was announced that Peter Furler will be leaving the band to pursue other interests and will be replaced by Michael Tait, former member of DC Talk and founding member of Tait. However, it was also announced that Furler will remain with the Newsboys in a production/advisory role, and may occasionally return to the stage with them for special events and will still be on the albums.
