Wrap Around Spider
A Masterpiece of God’s Design
Hi Men:
I pray you are “Following THE WAY” and your life is hidden in Christ.
As all of you know, for the 1.4 Billion Catholics, they have a new pope: Pope Leo XIV. Growing up Catholic, we (me and classmates) were never encouraged to read the Bible, the priest did that for you. Jesus said in John 14:6:
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
When I received Christ under a tree in my backyard in 1991, that verse came alive. As I started to share this truth with my Catholic buddies, for the most part, it fell on deaf ears. Why was that? Because, “Nothing could persuade them until Truth meant more than tradition”
We will be discussing more about the Catholic church in the days ahead. Put your seat belt on………………

“Even the smallest creatures declare the glory of God”
Men:
This wrap around spider it beyond amazing. There is so much astonishing information on it, I had a difficult time choosing the facts I wanted to share. Here are just a few ………
Master of Disguise:
Its flat, disc-shaped body and bark-colored patterns allow it to perfectly blend into tree branches — so well that it becomes nearly invisible to the human eye and predators alike.
Mimesis in Action:
This spider practices mimesis — a type of mimicry where it imitates its surroundings so well that even expert scientists have trouble spotting it in the wild.
Active at Night, Invisible by Day:
During the day it remains motionless and camouflaged; at night, it leaves its hiding spot to build intricate orb-shaped webs to catch prey
Web Silk: A Material Marvel:
The spider silk it produces is so complex in protein design and gene expression that scientists admit there’s no plausible evolutionary pathway to explain it.
A Case for Intelligent Design:
The combination of specialized anatomy, behavior, and silk production defies randomness and testifies clearly to an intelligent Creator — a silent sermon in the trees.

IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD & DOWN THE STREET
You remember Jamari from last week. Well…….. thank you for your prayers. One of my dear friends met him for church last Sunday and got him enrolled in a Bible Basics 8 week course. I pick him up this Saturday for lunch to get to know him better. He wants to start a Bible study. I will know more very soon. Thanks again for your prayers!
My friend also shared this verse……. wow!
Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should. Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. (Col 4:3-6)

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Eph 2:8-9)

🛑The World’s Foremost False Teacher🛑
by Tim Challies (5 min read or audio listen)
“The papacy is the foremost and most consistent position of false teaching in the history of the world. For centuries, the pope has been using the name of Christ to lead people away from Christ. He has promised heaven while delivering hell. Countless Roman Catholics have gone to damnation after being assured by their church and their pope that they were on the path to salvation. The papacy has consistently proclaimed a gospel that cannot save while formally anathematizing the one Gospel that actually can!”

What you Must Know About this Pope Before 2026
Men:
Ray Comfort with Living Waters has some amazing conversations with young Catholics. Send these video’s to your friends…….
White smoke rises, a new pope has been chosen. But what happens when Catholic tradition and the Bible say different things? In this street interview, Ray Comfort shares the gospel with a young Catholic man named Adrien who begins to see the difference between religion and true salvation. From infant baptism to reading the Bible for the first time, this exchange leads to a moment of clarity and conviction about sin, repentance, and the finished work of Jesus on the cross.

What Are the Odds? Why the Bible Stands Alone
Consider this: Just taking the prophecies in the Bible, what are the chances…
Getting struck by lightning (in a single year): 1 in 1,222,000
Dying in a shark attack: 1 in 3,748,067
Winning the Powerball Jackpot: 1 in 292,000,000
Being killed by an asteroid impact: 1 in 74,817,414
One man fulfilling 8 prophecies about the Messiah: 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000 (10¹⁷)
One man fulfilling 48 prophecies: 1 in 10⁽¹⁵⁷⁾ [That’s 157 zero’s!] In other words, for 48 prophecies coming true about Jesus, it is 1 x 10 to the 157th power! Statistically and humanly impossible without divine intervention
“I am God, and there is no other… Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things which have not been done…” [Is 46:9-10]
“The Church of Rome has added to the Bible, taken away from the Bible, and perverted the Bible. It claims to be infallible, but contradicts the plain teaching of the Word of God.”
J.C. Ryle (1816–1900)
