be formulated Clergy Comment Rev Many people today are concerned because they feel the world running out of vital natural resource Is it Projections of running out of energy or food sources are misleading God gave to man the command and ability to fill up the world with people and to subdue the earth for their own needs Shortages of one product have always been a motivation to create a new product from existing and overlooked resources India for example doe not have a hun ger problem because of the lack of food It has a hunger problem because of their rel igious beliefs which are contrary to the Word of God Hindu religion teaches that people who die are reincarnated In the form of animals thus it is against their laws and religion to kill rats mice cows or other animals Every cow eats enough food to feed seven people and there are two hundred million sacred cows in India God promises adequate provision for those who serve Him and obey His laws One the other hand He warns that those who reject His word will experience destructive hunger and famine It is for this reason that in both the Old and New Testament God warns us that man does not live by bread only but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of the Lord Dent 8 3 and Matt a However sin is the world biggest problem and Jesus Christ came died so that you can be made free and learn how to live In abundant life The Bible says Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved Acts 16 31 INSTANT CASH REBATES ON ARMSTRONG DOITYOURSELF TILE Save up to 500 on every carton of tile you purchase between
