5. Now look at that blue ball -- down on the right. The little one. That’s us. The earth. Approximate size of the earth in relation to the sun. [The earth can fit into the volume of the sun a million times.]

9. Along with Shaq, there are about six billion other folks. Did you know that?
10. Let’s test your general knowledge... See if you can finish the words of this famous 1848 song: “ All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small; All thing wise and wonderful . . . ”
11. Did you get it? Yep. God made everything... The answer is: “The Lord God made them all.” ...little kittens... ...the tiny flowers... ...the snowflake...
12. Oh, He also made the sun. What sort of Being could make the sun? Think about that for a moment. Go on . . . think deeply. Philosophize. Meditate. Contemplate.

14. Here’s another deep thought. If God made the massive sun (and it's just an average star--and there are billions of stars), then He should be held in unspeakable awe, respect, reverence.
15. Have you held Him in awe, or have you used His Name in vain? Even once? If you have, then think about what you have done. Think about it... You have used His holy Name as a cuss word to express disgust. That's called "blasphemy," which is a very serious sin, and the Bible warns that "The Lord will not hold him guiltless, who takes His Name in vain."
16. This incredibly powerful Creator, the One who made this universe is perfect, holy, and righteous, and He has set aside a Day in which He will judge the world in righteousness.
17. How will you do when you stand before Him on that Day? Does that thought scare you? It should. The Bible says, "It's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God." Let's see if you should be fearful...
18. We will look briefly at some of the Ten Commandments: Is God first in your life? Have you made a god to suit yourself? Have you ever used God's holy name in vain? Have you kept the Sabbath holy? Have you always honored your parents implicitly? Have you hated anyone? Then the Bible says you are a murderer (1 Jn. 3:15).
19. We will look briefly at some of the Ten Commandments: Have you had sex out of marriage? Then you are a fornicator and cannot enter Heaven. Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her in his heart." (Mt. 5:28) Have you ever lusted? Have you ever stolen something (irrespective of its value)? Then you are a thief. If you have told just one lie (even if you call it "white"), you are a liar, and cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
20. Listen to your conscience. The Law leaves us all sinners in God's sight. On Judgment Day we will be found guilty, and end up in Hell forever, but because Jesus paid our fine on the cross 2,000 years ago, God can forgive us. The Bible says, "God commended His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Then He rose from the dead, and defeated the power of the grave. If you repent, trust in the Savior and obey His word, God will forgive your sins and grant you everlasting life. Confess your sins to God, put your faith in Jesus Christ, then read the Bible daily and obey what you read. Save Yourself Some Pain
