Ricky Javas a man who built his career
0:05
on humor intellect and controversy
0:08
through his comedy in public Persona
0:10
he's become one of the loudest voices
0:11
for atheism challenging the very
0:14
Foundation of Faith from pack theaters
0:16
to Global platforms his message
0:18
resonates deeply there is no God but
0:21
while his words may seem empowering to
0:23
some history and even recent events
0:25
paint a far more sobering picture one
0:28
that reveals the undeniable presence of
0:30
the God he denies number one Ricky's
0:32
journey into doubt raised in a Christian
0:35
household Ricky javase was no stranger
0:37
to Faith he grew up hearing about God
0:40
attending church and observing religious
0:42
practices but at just 8 years old a
0:45
single conversation changed the course
0:47
of his beliefs questioning why they
0:49
believed in God Ricky was told because
0:51
that's what we're told to do that moment
0:54
of Doubt planted a seed one that would
0:56
grow into his lifelong rejection of God
0:58
in his own words I don't believe in
1:04
2,999 gods and I don't believe in just
1:07
one more I don't need to science
1:10
explains everything we need to know
1:11
about the universe this belief shared by
1:14
many reflects a growing cultural Trend a
1:17
trend that places reason over faith and
1:19
rejects the idea of divine Authority but
1:22
is science enough can it replace the
1:24
moral spiritual and eternal truths that
1:27
Faith provides scripture reminds us the
1:30
fear of the Lord is the beginning of
1:31
knowledge but fools despise wisdom and
1:34
instruction Proverbs 1:7 number two the
1:37
influence of Doubt Ricky jav's humor and
1:40
intellect make atheism appear logical
1:43
even appealing through his stand-up
1:45
routines interviews and social media
1:47
presence he has inspired countless fans
1:49
to abandon Faith often with a single
1:52
punchline social media is filled with
1:54
posts quoting Ricky praising his
1:56
boldness and wit one fan shared I used
1:59
to go to church but Ricky made me
2:01
realize I don't need God science is
2:03
enough another wrote religion is just a
2:06
fairy tale and Ricky proved it these
2:08
voices represent a growing cultural
2:10
shift nearly 35% of Millennials now
2:13
identify as religiously unaffiliated
2:16
often citing science and logic as their
2:18
reasons for rejecting Faith beware of
2:20
false prophets who come to you in
2:22
sheep's clothing but inwardly are
2:24
ravenous wolves Matthew 7:15 but while
2:28
Ricky's words Inspire doubt they leave a
2:30
critical void without faith where do we
2:32
find Hope without God what gives life
2:35
its ultimate meaning number three the
2:37
unfiltered truth about God in history
2:40
throughout history God has revealed his
2:42
power and presence in undeniable ways
2:45
The Parting of the Red Sea as described
2:47
in the book of Exodus was not a myth but
2:49
a moment where God delivered his people
2:51
from oppression showing that he is The
2:53
Great I Am the word of God says then
2:56
Moses stretched out his hand over the
2:58
sea and all that night the Lord drove
3:00
the sea back with a strong East Wind and
3:02
turned it into dry land Exodus
3:05
14:21 centuries later the resurrection
3:08
of Jesus Christ became the ultimate
3:10
proof of God's authority over life and
3:13
death this event witnessed by over 500
3:16
people Remains the Cornerstone of
3:18
Christian faith it is the defining
3:20
moment where doubt was silenced and hope
3:22
was born why do you look for the living
3:24
among the dead he is not here he has
3:30
number four recent events a Divine
3:33
wakeup call even today God continues to
3:36
reveal his sovereignty consider the
3:38
recent wildfires in Los Angeles entire
3:41
neighborhoods were engulfed in flames
3:43
with homes reduced to ashes in minutes
3:45
among those destroyed were some of the
3:47
most extravagant Mansions symbols of
3:49
wealth Fame and materialism yet in the
3:52
midst of this destruction certain homes
3:55
and properties were left untouched
3:57
miraculously spared could this be a
3:59
reminder from God a call to turn away
4:01
from the idols we build and place our
4:03
trust in him alone do not store up for
4:06
yourselves Treasures on Earth where
4:07
moths and Vermin destroy and where
4:09
thieves break in and steal but store up
4:12
for yourselves Treasures in Heaven
4:14
Matthew 6: 19 to 20 God has used events
4:17
like these throughout history to Humble
4:19
Humanity to remind us that everything we
4:22
build apart from him is temporary number
4:24
five the ripple effect of rejecting God
4:27
when God is removed from society what
4:29
fills the void without his moral law
4:32
truth becomes subjective and the lines
4:34
between right and wrong blur the Bible
4:36
warns us everyone did what was right in
4:39
their own eyes judges
4:41
21:25 a world without God is a world in
4:44
chaos a world searching for meaning in
4:47
all the wrong places but even in the
4:49
midst of doubt and Rebellion God's love
4:51
endures he does not abandon those who
4:53
turn away but patiently calls them back
4:55
to himself for I know the plans I have
4:57
for you declares the Lord plans to
5:00
prosper you and not to harm you plans to
5:02
give you hope and a future Jeremiah
5:05
29:11 number six the call to truth Ricky
5:09
javase challenges the existence of God
5:11
but the evidence of his presence is
5:13
undeniable for those willing to see from
5:16
the Miracles of the past to the warnings
5:18
of the present God reveals himself as
5:20
The Great I Am he is unchanging Eternal
5:24
and Sovereign over all Jesus Christ is
5:26
the same yesterday and today and forever
5:29
Hebrews 13:8 the question isn't whether
5:32
God exists the question is will you
5:35
choose to acknowledge Him as Jesus
5:37
himself said I am the way the truth and
5:40
the life no one comes to the father
5:42
