Worship Street Whistling Shop
Please note, Worship Street Whistling Shop is now closed. Time Out London Editors, November 2018.
Make like Bugs Bunny and eat your carrots before descending the stairs to Worship Street Whistling Shop: it's so dark you can barely see your feet. But the descent is worth the danger. You enter an equally dim room with the full complement of faux-speakeasy decorations. There are various seating options, some offering so much shadowy seclusion that you could conceive or even give birth to a child and no one would notice.
The drinks here have always been right out there, both in conception and presentation. But even when they sound wacky, they have a tendency to taste great. Despite looking a little tired in places (a rumpled, stained drinks menu, for instance), this place is still whistling a happy tune.

Unique. Warm and Welcoming Atmosphere. Certainly will go again.
Amazing atmosphere, drinks and service is nice to see a team who really care about their trade.
If you have any sense of style and any self respect, then avoid this place at all cost!! The so-called cocktails completely lack taste, the atmosphere is nerdy and the service is less than average. There are too many great cocktails bars in London to waste your time with this place!
Yes it's pricey, and admittedly some of the cocktails are a bit hit and miss but personally I loved it for the atmosphere.
Love this place! Cocktails are unique and different (and strong!) and it has a great atmosphere - I love the quirky decor. Staff excellent and very helpful, well worth a visit. It is expensive but you probably only need about 2 cocktails; mine lasted me most of the night!
I visited here the first Thursday of the new year, and had mixed feelings about it to be honest. It first of all bears mention that the staff are great - really friendly, speedy, skilled and keen to give table service. It was clear to me they were passionate about their work, which is not always the case. The young chap who served us was charming and sweet - he spoke us through the quirky uniform they wear (braces/waistcoats which are a great touch) and even made me my own delicious "special white wine cocktail" when I was struggling to choose between wine or a cocktail. The atmosphere in the place was not dead, but it risked being dead as it was extremely mellow - we were one of three groups in there at 8:30 pm I believe, which is pretty empty! The same member of staff we had spoken with explained that this was because of a recent discontinuation of live music, but that soon the bar would be getting some bands back in. It looked very short of business to me and like I say very quiet, but luckily on this occasion the lack of liveliness suited me as I was having a heart-to-heart with a friend I hadn't seen in years... and the fantastic staff and their animated, welcoming attitude made up for the lack of vibrancy elsewhere. I would finally add that it is just ludicrously dark in there - I literally couldn't read the drinks menus without holding them an inch from my face! I'm all for super low lighting for atmosphere, but this was just a bit silly. Especially when you've already had a few, not exactly helpful.
Had a great experience here with my girlfriend last week. Attentive staff and the lab tour was brilliant. Drinks were slightly on the 'this end of shoreditch' side of expensiveness.
I was in there a couple of days before christmas and although the venue was extremely busy I had a great time. I didnt have a booking but thought I would chance my arm and the mairtre d informed me they were fully booked however after about 15minutes managed to get me a table. We ended up spending the whole evening there and even tried a new beer. The girls drunk cocktails and loved them. Only down side was the girls complained about the toilets.
I don't know what has happened to this place but it has gone dramatically downhill. Went there a few times in 2011 and it was fantastic but after my visit last night I won't be returning. More than half of the drinks I asked for of the menu were not available (and this wasn't even late in the evening) including their so called signature drink. I don't know if we got a bad barman but the drinks we received were poorly mixed that we could only stomach about a third of them. I didn't have the service charge issue that some other people have commented on at least. Time to find somewhere new.
I was so disappointed by this bar which looks fantastic when you get there. We were sitting 20mins before we went to get our own menu (we were waiting for a friend so this didn't bother us too much but still poor form) it then took the waitress a good 15 minutes to come over after we asked to order despite the bar being almost empty. They were also out of three of the things on the menu. But I was happy to overlook most of this till we came to pay and the waitress pointed out the 16% service charge! WHAT SERVICE?! Had I been more brazen I would have refused point blank and I wish I had...such a disappointment for a place with so much character
LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS HERE We booked a table as a treat, thinking it would be a secret hideaway. Instead we got post-work pub levels of busyness, understaffed and overcrowded, with no attempt at anything like the table service booking a table implies. My cocktail, described with a million adjectives, tasted like a very poor white wine spritzer - at £10! My boyfriend's martini was fine - not amazing, fine and also came with a hefty price tag for a *tiny* glass. Can't say stay away more strongly. Overcrowded, overpriced, overinflated ego.
vaccuous, pretentious, dull, overpriced, with awful customer service. Up until this point, I could have deluded myself into thinking fine, i'll pay premium prices for considered and meticulously crafted cocktail 'experiences', but after being told in no uncertain terms that the ingredients 'didnt matter', and that its quite often made with several ingredients missing i thought what the hell is the point?!?!?! the drinks themselves were poor, I had an exploded martini that was neither exploded nor explosive. Just mediocre. and expensive. if they arent taking their drinks seriously how am i supposed to take them seriously, and why should I pay their premium? An insulting and belittling experience, I will not go back.
Went in last Wednesday with a group of five people. I'd already read both positive and negative reviews on here beforehand so was a little apprehensive. However; on this occasion the service was warm, friendly and prompt, the drinks certainly weren't run-of-the-mill, and we all enjoyed trying out the various concoctions and general vibe of the place. From my experience I'd recommend on a week-night for sure.
Went here on 19th October for friend's birthday where we had reserved a table. They had triple booked our table. When we politely asked staff about asking people to move from our reserved table they said we were causing a disturbance and asked us in an aggressive manner to leave the premises. VERY disappointed with the whole experience - bar staff were arrogant, managerial staff were outright rude. Had a cocktail that I could not even drink as so unpleasant tasting and when i tried to return it i was met with "what do you expect me to do about it?". Would not recommend this to anyone. Ruined my friend's birthday.
Can't stress how awful this place is. Although the bar area is nice to look at the service was terrible. The people who work there were slow, unfriendly and unprofessional. It was such a disappointment which was a shame as we were there for a friends birthday. The cocktails sound better than they taste too.
Went in last night having heard great things and was massively disappointed. Served a very watery Americano in what looked like a test tube, the sort of drink the barman would get thrown back at him if he tried to give it to anyone from Milan. Then moved onto a house cocktail that tasted simply of sherbert and was again served in ridiculously cheap looking/feeling glasses. This on top of service which was as unfriendly as it was slow with top-dollar prices to boot and you've got a great receptive for a woeful experience. Give this place a wide berth and head to the bar at Hawksmoor instead. Five stars from Time Out?! Weird
What a disappointment. I went here on Saturday with a friend as a recce for celebratory night out. On walking into the bar, it was full of promises and really did live up to it's 'gin saloon' styling. However, after waiting for nearly half an hour at the busy bar and unable to even get sight of the cocktail menu in this whole time we were met with 3 bar staff sarcastically stating what bad service they were giving (which in fact they were). Just at the point of being able to order a drink, the staff then decided to serve two people who had barged their way through the queue. I couldn't put up with such bad service anymore, and certainly wasn't going to give them any of my cash, so walked out and headed to Drink, Shop, Do instead where the service is great and has fantastic atmosphere. Needless to say, I will not be going there again nor would I recommend anyone else going there.
Went here last night having booked a table for 8 people. The place itself looks great with an old fashioned speakeasy vibe. However, as others have said, the service is very unpleasant. Our waitress was snooty and condescending throughout. When asked what was in one of the cocktails she said "look at the menu - it's on there". More disappointingly, for a place that seems to pride itself on its ground-breaking drinks, the cocktails were average at best. I'll avoid this place in the future, there's far better cocktail bars in London, in terms of both drinks and service.
I have enjoyed drinks here on previous occasions, but it seems that now either the staff have changed, or they have forgotten how to mix staple cocktails. The cocktails were disgustingly sugary, or just plain mis-made. I wont return.
first impression of the bar was that it was pretty small, I was approached my a member of bar staff who asked me if i had a reservation. To my sup raise we were led round the corner where the bar opens up into a victorian looking lounge that still maintains the warmth of a sitting room. Loved the street lamp and organ. The drinks were unlike anything we had experienced before with friendly staff who were helpful with explanations and recommendations. Great bar for people of all ages looking for something that is far from run of the mill.
I went in here last night with my friend - but was quite disappointed. Firstly, the atmosphere was not what I expected- but I can still live with it but the drinks were awful. We ordered margaritas the first round and they were just too strong and I thought something was wrong with my taste buds until I ordered a daiquiri. It was like rose water- not a daiquiri. Also half way through the drink, I saw my glass was cracked- so had to take it to the bar and asked for half of my money - the guy didn't want to do but ended up giving me £5. In addition, the daiquiri glass was not even even full- since drinks are quite important for a bar, I would not go here again!
I wanted to go back to this bar and again was not disappointed by the experience! No Essex girls screaming, enough space to enjoy the atmosphere and our lovely drinks. Our cocktails were delicious, gin fizz and Panacca in particular. Service was friendly , professional and very helpful. Well it was on a Saturday night and maybe this is what explains the variety of comments! Will definitely go back...on a Saturday night!
Every time we go here it's exceptional. Great staff, incredible drinks (seriously the best I have had in London) and a wonderful atmosphere.
Awful service, inebriated bar staff and a maître d' that had zero customer service skills. The First time we visited here in the summer it was a great experience but they have been overtaken by their own self-importance. We were taken of our table that we had booked only for it to sit empty for an hour. Don't bother wasting your money here.
I went here almost a year ago and I was very impressed, sadly it's now ruined by the customers. It could be a great speakeasy style bar but they let in anyone it seems now. It's stripped the place of any class, it's full of braying city types on a friday and the essex crowd on a saturday. The drinks are still great but it's hard to enjoy with screeching women wanting something pink and sweet to drink or the geezers wanting a "proper" drink i.e. lager. You can't move and if you're not sat down then you're likely to get knocked and pushed by the aforementioned customers. It's a shame, if they were a bit more discerning about who and how many people they let in then it could be something great instead of just another bar in the city full of loud muppets.
Its not often you go to a bar with a lab... this is something special. Really nice balance of relaxed atmosphere with ultra sophisticated drinks. The waiter also told me there is a multi-sensory cocktail emporium launching soon - will definitely be booking in for that. Good work!
Went here for after work drinks to celebrate a birthday on Tuesday 21st February. The venue had ZERO atmosphere, ridiculously over priced! £13.00 + for a warm beer and a small warm glass of white wine. You only had a choice of one Red or White by the glass. Service well below average! If this venue is going to charge it's premium prices, you at least need good quality, customer service and atmosphere. After one round our party of 20 moved upstairs to the BlueBerry bar, which was better in all ways!
The booking system is a nightmare- and they need to be clearer about the reserved area. But then I supose it's like in a restaurant. The drinks were excellent, and the service was suprising and refreshing for london. The things that matter were exemplery- the drinks and the service. The other stuff- music, booking- not so bohtered.
Mixed feelings about this place; first time i went last year it was great - good service, nice atmosphere. Went again recently and it was poor; waitress was deliberately awkward about the 'reserved area'..service at the bar was ok, but with added service charges some of the cocktails get pretty overpriced. Egg-Nog curdled immediately, and there was loud cheesy music. Really annoying how London venues often do this - great start, then they get complacent and lazy. It's gone from a place I'd told my friends about to somewhere I'd suggest they avoided.
Awful service. The bar staff are incredibly rude and thinking they are beyond the job they are employed to do. We were a group of 15 who all work in the area and will not be recommending it to anyone.
Very good Gin and Whisky lists, but frankly wierd tasting cocktails - all the bar staff seem kool-aid convinced that they are the best thing ever, and we really tried to like them - but even so, piney cider Wassail with an actual sprig of christmas fir stuck in it tasted more like toilet cleaner frankly, or air freshener; the Gin fizz was pretty much like lemsip; notwithstanding the odd inclusion of olive oil as an emulsion. Just wierdness. Otherwise, a nice enough basement bar; exposed brick, candles, a bit of laboratory looking stuff in the corner, where the wierd tasting experiments come from; otherwise, music = not very victorian, and the place is stuffed full of suits - not surprising since it's right next to the city I guess, still not what we expected from the review. Perhaps it has changed since it made it big in Time Out...perhaps not. At most one or two lost-looking hipsters. The suits were well behaved, to be fair. We experienced VERY friendly barstaff - bordering on harassment . . .
Good coctails, terrible service. When we tried to make a booking in advance for a large group, we were told that the big central table was already booked, then we asked what our other options were, a very pretentious person on the phone told us that they would decide when we would get there and there was no such thing as booking a specific table, but of course had no answer for how the central table was booked if you couldn't book a specific table. we ended up reserving space for 15 people, but only got seating for 8. when we asked the person in charge, she smiled and said they usually sit 20 people there as if we were idiots. I'm not going there again.
You know when a bar just gets it right?? This is one of those occasions. Drinks menus is incredibly well thought out and there's a great contrast here between the old fashioned furniture and the lab with all its polished tiles and glass bits and pieces. My favourite bar in London.
After reading the glowing review of The Whistling Shop on Time Out, I was keen to try it out. I booked a table for me and 3 friends for 10.30pm on a Saturday night. Due to getting stuck in traffic om the way there we arrived 15-20 minutes late. On arrival I spoke to the woman managing the reserved section of the bar, explaining that I ahd booked and apologising for being late. I told her my name and she said I hadn't booked a table, although I assured her I had and had an email confirming it from the bar. She went off somewhere for Bout 20 seconds, then came back and told me the table was gone and I could wait in the unreserved section of the bar for a table to become available. I asked her how long they kept tables for but instead of answering she told me again our table was gone. I repeated my question to be told 15-20 minutes which it was clear the woman only said because that's how late we were! The trsnage thing was that the were a number of free tables in the resreved area which never filled up but for some reason she didn't want ti give to us! We instead sat in the unreserved area of the bar where there were at least 3 free tables and ordered a round of drinks. The cocktails were interesting but nothing too special, althoughbthe staff at the bar were friendly unlike their female colleague manging the other section of the bar. I didn't particularly like the atmosphere of the bar, it's clearly trying to do Victoriana but not really pulling it off. It felt dingy rather than cosy. I don't think I'd go again.
Don't bother. I wouldn't mind it being so out of the way if the cocktails were immense or the bar was extra special/ really victorianna. Neither of these apply. Plus the barmen are rude. Fail on all accounts
The reservations system here is frustrating. When you call up, you are redirected to book online - but this means if you have a party larger than 5 you have to book several tables. Of course, when we arrived this meant that our tables were not situated close by to each other, even though we had requested so in the notes. Also, the tables only have a time limit of 2 hours. I think this works great in a restaurant, where meals draw to a natural conclusion. However, when you're drinking, most people will continue drinking for the whole evening if they have a nice table to sit around. The 2 hour limit - whilst very fair towards customers so everyone can experience being seated - is frustrating and cuts short a good night. If those are the rules, then those are the rules - but after being ousted after our 2 hour slot, we left and spent our money elsewhere instead of staying on at the Whistling Shop. On the subject of cocktails - they are pricey, but well made. They aren't showy cocktails either - all of the drinks were served plainly and simply. The range of cocktails is eclectic, but certainly not as tasty as the ones on the menu at the nearby Nightjar where the service, drinks and ambience impressed me more than the Whistling Shop. I'm not sure I'd return in a hurry... and if I did, it would certainly be in a smaller group and on a quieter evening.
Went there early last Friday night. Was promptly greeted by a bartender who brought over menus and tea, which was great. However, we then waited around for 20 minutes to have someone come over and take our orders (we had to go up to the bar). I am understanding if there are tons of people in the place and it is dinner hour, but it was about 5:30, fairly empty and there were plenty of staff available (or so it seemed). Strangely, our glasses were whisked away within one minute of finishing, which implies the bar back service is strong. Drinks were well-made, but not awe-inspiring for a craft-cocktail or speakeasy joint. Atmosphere was alright, keep in mind it was early, and the place was decently appointed. Nothing was bad, but nothing was outstanding either. For Time-Out's best new bar, I expected a heck of a lot more. Finally, they tacked on a 12.5% service charge. I'm from the other side of the pond, so I am well used to doubling the first number; but adding a service charge, especially when no service was provided, is difficult to swallow. Poor service + service charge is how I will remember WSWS.
A very enjoyable evening was spoiled by being massively overcharged for drinks charged at 50% more than clearly advertised on the drinks list on their website. Two bottles of Ridgeview sparkling wine quoted at £30 each (without any reference to it being an introductory or promotional price subject to change) was charged on my bill at £45 each. It was pointed out that this price war quoted on the list in the bar but I had no reason to think it would be different from the prices shown on the contradictory website. I would recommend anyone visiting be very careful to check they don't also fall for this sharp practice that does an otherwise good venue no credit.
I went there last night and it was heaving. Bartenders were incredible- no wait at the bar, great drinks and nice crowd. be back as soon as i can.
I came here with high expectations and to be honest was a bit disappointed. The drinks selection is interesting and well put together, the cockail I had was delicious. However, I think what let's the whole experience down is the atmosphere and feel of the place. I understand it used to be a wine bar, and it still feels a bit like that (with music to match). If you are going to charge that amount for drinks and try and sell the victorian gin palace thing, it needs to immerse you into a different kind of world/environment. The building blocks are there, but needs investment to really make it interesting
you are kidding aren't you!!! This place creams all over colebrooke row!!!! Best drinks in London closesly followed by their other bar Purl! Fluid Movement are absolute legends
Fun, lovely looking place, good drinks liked the Cats cream thingy served (by a cute bartender.. 4 stars for that..) although they seem to have taken a lot of their format/ideas from 69 Colebrooke row its still worth a visit..... if only for the cute bartender....
easily the best drinks in town. not too fussed by the decor or the music but it's definitely not ugly. great atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. food is great with the drinks. what more can you want? this is a place that puts london up on the worldwide rankings.
amazing drinks, amazing food and any bar that has a lab on show is a must see!! Wow I was mermerised by the place from start to finish Fluid movement boys ROCK!! Thank you
I've been here twice in the last two weeks and will be back again soon! incredible drinks (best in London at the moment) and delightful staff. Personally I loved the music and the decor too. My advice is to get in there before everyone else finds out!
Dark and empty with little atmosphere when we visited, but I can see it has potential. The drinks are great too. I liked it, but there are better speakeasies out there.

Back when your imaginary best friend Mindy Kaling was a sophomore in college, she got the chance to intern for her comedy hero Conan O'Brien. You would think that, given the opportunity, the 19-year-old Kaling would have done her best to work hard and attract the attention of the higher ups, but that's not the case. Mindy was a guest on Conan last night (look how far she's come!) where she revealed, "I was the worst intern that's ever worked on the program...I wanted to work there not to learn how to photocopy things, but to watch you so I wouldn't do my things that I was hired to do, I would just kind of follow you around."
Looks like it worked out for her.

Adoption of conservation tillage in general has been relatively slow in California, but some San Joaquin Valley dairy forage growers are enthused with results as they take a closer look at one element of the practice, strip tillage.
Dairyman Dino Giacomazzi was pleased enough with his two years of strip tillage to share his experiences and opinions at a recent field day, held in cooperation with the Conservation Tillage Workgroup, at his family's forage corn fields outside Hanford, Calif.
Conservation tillage systems include an array of equipment and methods intended to curb soil or wind erosion, increase water infiltration, reduce labor and fuel, increase soil organic matter or improve air and water quality.
Jeff Mitchell, University of California Cooperative Extension vegetable specialist, defined strip tillage – also known as vertical tillage – as a management system "that only disturbs the top 6 to 8 inches, maybe more or less, depending on the implement, of the soil surface.
"That is the line into which you will plant. Obviously, since you are not doing broadcast tillage, you are reducing some of the input costs and preserving residue on the surface."
Mitchell noted that in California strip tillage is most often used for forage crops but is also being introduced in vegetable crops and cotton.
Several designs of strip-tillage implements are available, and all share three components: coulters to cut crop residue, shanks to break the soil surface and tools to break up clods and prepare the seed bed. Planters may be added for a single-pass operation.
In reviewing why he is involved in strip tillage, Giacomazzi told the assembly of some 130 growers and others that he was first attracted to it by Natural Resources Conservation Service incentives aimed at reducing particulate matter.
His initial attempt two years ago with 25 acres of forage corn with no-till, bringing in 27 tons to the acre, was not encouraging in view of his 30-ton yields from conventional methods.
"Environmental solutions should also be economic solutions. There has to be a benefit to the person who's implementing the technology," he said.
Last year, however, the picture changed when he went to strip tillage on the same acreage and took off 36 tons to the acre, more than any of his conventional fields that season.
Strip tillage cuts costs, he said. "We reduced passes by 80 percent, we reduced diesel fuel and emissions, we used less equipment and labor, we got more tons per acre, and because it was quicker, we got in three crops per year."
He listed a dozen conventional field operations for coming out of wheat, from ripping to lilliston passes, that he accomplished with two passes: strip tilling and planting.
Since he uses dry manure and lagoon water from the dairy for all his fertilizer needs, his conventional practices do not include a fertilizer application.
"It's easier for me with the dairy right here to adopt this method because I don't have to be worried with going back into the field with a fertilizer rig."
He built borders, as for alfalfa, in the fields and will leave them in place for wheat, corn and sorghum, before repeating the cycle.
Giacomazzi stressed that managing on fields without low spots and with good drainage is key to making strip tillage a success.
He has a number of trials across his corn acreage this year with various brands of equipment and varieties. A portion of his strip tillage corn this year is planted to twin rows with a Monosem planter, rather than single rows.
"Twin row gives an opportunity to increase yield by increasing plant populations and giving plants more space and less competition for sunlight, nutrients and moisture," he said.
On 30-inch rows, a single row of plants 6 inches apart has a population of 32,000 per acre, while the twin-row configuration staggers two rows has a population of 42,000 per acre and more space, 10 inches between plant rows and 13 inches diagonally, between plants.
He said it is essential to have a GPS guidance system aligned perfectly for success with twin row planting.
His irrigation timing was mostly by the calendar, but Giacomazzi said in his conventional fields each irrigation took less time than the one before it. "But with the strip tilled fields, from the pre-irrigation to the final irrigation each took about the same amount of time. The ground is compacted between strips, so the water is concentrated to the roots in the strips."
He irrigated the strip till corn about 10 days after emergence, or about 15 days earlier than conventional fields, and that gave the crop a significant boost in growth.
As for why California farmers have been slow to take up strip tillage and related methods, Giacomazzi said he believes the main reason is technology was not available until only recently.
"Strip tillers were in other parts of the country but they hadn't made their way out to California. And twin-row planters are relatively new here."
GPS guidance systems for tractors are essential for strip till to work, he added. A fourth development is the availability of Roundup Ready corn varieties.
"Despite the fact that California has one of the most advanced agricultural economies on the planet," he said, "we seem to be behind in many ways. I think that is because we are somewhat spoiled." Spoiled, he explained, because of mild weather, historically ample water and historically inexpensive labor.
But that's changing, he added, with treats to water and labor supplies, increased fuel costs, environmental regulations, demands from consumers with no knowledge of agriculture and a political climate hostile to farmers.

No. 21 Huskers Fall to No. 12 Buckeyes
Columbus, Ohio - Nebraska scored 17 straight points to take a 17-7 lead, but No. 12 Ohio State's offense got rolling in the second quarter and never slowed down in a 63-38 win over the No. 21 Huskers at Ohio Stadium on Saturday night.
With the setback, Nebraska slipped to 4-2 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten, while the Buckeyes improved to 6-0 and 2-0 in the conference. Ohio State's 63 points were the fourth-most scored against the Huskers in history, and came despite the NU defense holding Ohio State without a first down in the first quarter.
Nebraska outgained Ohio State 137-17 in the first quarter, including 121 rushing yards against a Buckeye defense that had surrendered an average of just 100 yards through their first five games.
The Husker defense was stout in the opening quarter, but Ohio State's defense provided the game's opening points with a 41-yard Bradley Roby interception return touchdown of a Taylor Martinez pass intended for Quincy Enunwa. It was the first of four turnovers by the Huskers on the night, which Ohio State converted into 21 points. OSU turned it over just one time, and the Huskers were unable to turn the Buckeye miscue into points.
The rest of the first quarter belonged to the Huskers on both sides of the ball. The defense held quarterback Braxton Miller and the Buckeye offense to just 17 total yards while forcing three punts in the opening period. Miller carried four times for minus-nine yards in the first quarter and went just 1-for-4 passing for seven yards.
Senior I-back Rex Burkhead unleashed a career-long 73-yard run to put the Big Red on the doorstep for its first touchdown. Fellow I-back Ameer Abdullah capped the drive with a one-yard run on a handoff from Burkhead to tie the score with 5:26 left in the quarter. Abdullah took NU's second score over from three yards out on another handoff from Burkhead less than four minutes later to send the Huskers to the second quarter with a 14-7 lead.
In addition to two rushing touchdowns, Abdullah amassed 213 all-purpose yards on the night, including a 43-yard punt return to start NU's second scoring drive of the night at the OSU 28.
The Huskers built even more momentum early in the second quarter when Steven Osborne snuffed out a fake punt attempt by the Buckeyes' Ben Buchanan to give NU the ball at the OSU 31. Burkhead carried the ball four times for 16 yards to move the ball to the OSU 4, but a sack of Martinez on third down forced NU to settle for a a 26-yard Brett Maher field goal.
Maher's kick pushed NU's edge to 17-7 with just under 12 minutes left, but Miller finally gave the Buckeyes a first down and then some with a 72-yard scamper on OSU's opening offensive play of the second quarter. Two plays later, running back Carlos Hyde pounded to paydirt from one yard out for the first of his four touchdowns.
Less than two minutes later, Miller struck through the air with an 18-yard pass to Jeff Heuerman to give the Buckeyes the lead back at 21-17. The touchdown pass allowed OSU to capitalize on a short field after Martinez was intercepted a second time by Roby to give the Buckeyes the ball at the NU 20.
The Husker offense responded four plays later with a nifty nine-yard run to the left side to give Nebraska the lead again at 24-21 with 6:59 left in the half. Martinez's first of two touchdown runs was set up by his 74-yard strike to sophomore wide receiver Kenny Bell. The catch was a career long for Bell, who finished the night with five receptions for 133 yards.
But the rest of the half belonged to the Buckeyes, as Hyde capped a 10-play drive with a seven-yard scoring run to give Ohio State the lead for good at 28-24 with 3:11 left in the half.
Ohio State took even more momentum to the locker room with Miller's 31-yard scoring sprint on 4th-and-2 with 23 seconds left to give the Buckeyes a 35-24 halftime lead.
Miller rushed for 146 yards on six carries in the second quarter alone to finish the first half with 137 yards on 10 first-half totes. Hyde added 25 yards in the second quarter to finish the half with 37 yards on 11 carries, as Ohio State rushed for 171 yards as a team in the second quarter. The Buckeyes put up 242 total yards in the second quarter to finish the half with 259 yards. Nebraska finished the half with 241 total yards, including 146 on the ground, but just 25 rushing yards in the second quarter.
Ohio State kept rolling up yardage in the second half, finishing with 498 total yards, including 371 on the ground. Miller finished the game with 186 rushing yards on 16 carries, while adding 127 yards through the air on 7-of-14 passing. Hyde added 140 rushing yards on 28 carries, including 103 in the second half.
Nebraska finished the game with a balanced effort on offense with 437 total yards, including 223 rushing yards on 46 carries to go along with 214 passing yards on 25 attempts.
Nebraska opened the second half with the ball, and Martinez quickly marched the Huskers the length of the field in just over two minutes. NU's 77-yard drive was capped by Martinez's three-yard touchdown pass to tight end Ben Cotton to cut the OSU lead to 35-31.
However, Burkhead's night ended on the drive after a 24-yard run put the Huskers at the OSU 5. Despite it being his only carry of the second half, Burkhead notched his 13th 100-yard rushing game of his career. He finished the night with 119 yards on 14 carries to push his career total to 3,042 rushing yards, becoming just the seventh Husker in history to reach the 3,000-yard milestone.
But the Buckeyes answered with a quick-paced drive of their own, capped by Hyde's third touchdown run of the night, this time from one yard out with 8:15 left in the third.
OSU created more separation heading into the final quarter, as Corey Brown uncorked a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown to put Ohio State up 49-31 at the end of three quarters.
Any hopes of a dramatic Nebraska comeback for the second straight week and a second straight season against the Buckeyes ended with Rod Smith's 33-yard scoring sprint with 10:27 left in the game.
Nebraska did cut into the OSU edge when Martinez's capped a 67-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown run with 5:50 left. He finished the night with 18 carries for 40 yards, while completing 15-of-25 passes for 214 yards and another score. However, he did throw three interceptions, including two that led to OSU touchdowns. He also was sacked four times, with the last forcing a fumble that led to the Buckeyes' final touchdown.
Hyde capped his four-score night with a 16-yard touchdown run with 43 seconds left in the game to push the two teams past 100 combined points on the night.
Nebraska is off next Saturday before hitting the road again on Oct. 20 to battle Northwestern in Evanston. A game time has not yet been announced.

Tonight we begin a new series of study and we're just barely going to get our appetite wetted as we have a little less time than we normally do tonight. The Lord really kind of laid on my heart about two years ago the importance of a study on is the Bible believable. Here at Grace Church we make a great deal about the word of God. And we have some very strong convictions about it. And certainly, we ought to be able to support those convictions. We ought to know why we believe the Bible. We ought to know the evidence that the Bible is valid, that it is true. We ought to know it well enough to be able to communicate it to others.
Certainly we ought to know it well enough to have confidence in it. And since we spent all of our time here studying the Bible, preaching the Bible, teaching the Bible, learning the Bible, and living by the principles of the Bible, we should be able to face some very important facts about the Bible with a positive confidence.
You say well what do you believe about the Bible? Now we believe that the Bible is the only book ever written by God and it was written to reveal Himself. We believe the Bible is the only authoritative and absolutely reliable source of revelation from God with regard to the origin of man, as well as his dilemma, his salvation, and his destiny.
We believe that the Bible is the single measuring standard. The only moral and spiritual standard for man. We believe the Bible is true in every detail even to the very words in the original manuscripts. And we believe the Bible is believable. We believe God wrote it, every word. That's what we believe.
Now, you're all in your heart, you that are a part of Grace Church, you're saying that's right, that's what I believe. We believe that the Bible is the source of all knowledge about God. And that apart from the Bible there is no revelation. There is nothing a man can ever learn about God from human reason. There's nothing a man can ever learn from philosophy or even from experience about God ultimately, unless God reveals Himself.
God alone is the source of the knowledge about Himself. And He has chosen to reveal Himself in this book totally and in no other. That's why we believe the Bible. Now I hasten to add this, this is not the view of all Christians. Or at least of all who claim to be Christians. There are many people who claim to be Christians and some who no doubt are Christians because they do believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, but they do not believe that this is totally and in ever word the revelation of God.
And so because we believe this we stand apart even from some other people who call themselves Christians. There are some people who claim to be a part of the church of Jesus Christ and they do not believe what we believe about the Bible. They deny its authority. They laugh at the idea of inerrancy. That is that there are no errors. They have humanized its inspiration so that God didn't write, but men did. You know what happens to churches like that? The become impotent, insecure, confused, without conviction, uncertain, and inevitably revert to social or political activism. Packer says this and I think it's worth reading. Listen, "Certainty about the great issues of the Christian faith and conduct is lacking all along the line. The outside observer sees us as staggering on from gimmick to gimmick and stunt to stunt like so many drunks in a fog. Not knowing at all where we are or which way we should be going. Preaching is hazy, heads are muddled, hearts fret, doubts drain strength, uncertainty paralyzes action.
Unlike the first Christians who in three centuries won the Roman world and those later Christians who pioneered the reformation and the puritan, the awakening, and the evangelical revival and the great missionary movement of the last century we lack certainty. Why is this? We blame the external pressures of modern secularism, but that's like Eve blaming the serpent. The real truth is that we have grieved the Holy Spirit. We stand under divine judgment. For two generations our churches have suffered from a famine of hearing the words of the Lord."
That's a tragic truth. Self-styled man has decided that his own intellectualism is the answer to everything and his intellectualism rises from higher criticism and rationalism and the result is it destroys the truth. We've talked about the higher critics who came along and said well my mind can't handle a miracle so I'll just take my big vacuum and suck the miracles out of the Bible. One such German rationalist came up with 26 verses left. Then there's not only intellectual rationalism, but egoism plays a part in this. You know, the man who has such a big ego that he does not permit himself to submit to authority has a hard time acquiescing to the authority of Scripture. And our society has become a society of self-centered deciders who will determine for themselves what truth is.
And then I think tragically the church has substitute programs and activities for the study of the word of God. They've given in to the social problems and relinquished the real priority of the word. They've become content with entertainment, psychology, and a lot of other things. In America, we've got 330,000 churches. A third of a million churches. That's too many. We can't get along.
Consequently, we're so fractured and split up that there's a lack of spiritual leadership. Now in the midst of all of this mess, the word of God is lost. Let me take you to a prophet. A bombshell prophet by the name of Amos. My dad used to say you can find Amos in the Bible, but you can't find Andy. Amos Chapter 8. I just want to share with you verses 11 and 12 to give you an illustration of what happens when the word of God is lost.
Amos 8:11, "Behold the days come saith the Lord God that I will send a famine in the land." Now listen, if you're not there yet, don't worry about it. "I'll send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. And they shall wander from sea to sea and from the north even to the east and they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord and shall not," what, "find it."
God says there's going to come a day when I'll send a famine and people are going to try to find the word of the Lord and they'll never find it. Eight centuries before Christ, the northern kingdom was very self-confident. It was true that moral standards had come crashing down, honesty was gone, poor people were being abused, the upper-class was vial and money was plenty and prosperity was going great, so they just kind of relegated the spiritual dimension to the background and figured if they were making it monetarily that was sufficient to live and everything was great and they were still cranking out their worship. They were still doing what they normally did in terms of ritual, and they thought everything was well. And then all of a sudden, God dropped a bomb by the name of Amos right in the middle of the northern kingdom.
He stormed into Samaria as a prophet of doom. And he said in Chapter 2 of Amos, "God's going to judge." And in Chapter 5, he said, "This whole nation is going to be enslaved and deported." And he says in Chapter 8, "Worst of all the streams of revelation are going to dry up. And there's going to be a famine of the word of God."
They who would not listen to the prophets whom God sent would find that there were no prophets to listen to anymore. God's word will be unavailable. And Amos goes on in his little book here to picture the scene of spiritual destitution that results when you can't find the word of the Lord, when you don't have any revelation. And he pictures restless, frantic souls wandering everywhere listening in hopes of hearing God's voice, but it is never heard.
And for them as for much of the so-called church today, there's a famine of the hearing of the word of the Lord. And I think it's judgmental on God's part. I think it's the legacy of liberalism, egoism, programism and denominationalism. The people who view the Bible as a human document, as a fallible book with mistakes, those who use the Bible as a pretext for false kind of preaching and simply rattling off their opinions have contributed to the sad demise. And I don't know how many out of those churches really teach the word of God, but I know this, almost every city I go to people say to me do you know of a church in the city where we can learn the word of God? What's happen when people have forsaken the word of God, and I think God judgmentally has moved into the church and just left the famine there. What happens in a situation like that?
First, it undermines preaching. Where there's doubt as to whether the text is really the word of God, there's no preaching with conviction. It's weaken faith. People don't know what to believe anymore. It's discouraged Bible study. Why would you study the Bible if you're not too sure what it's all about. And so consequently the church today suffers from the terrible plight of having its authority undermined in the loss of confidence in the word of God.
Now to add to the problem that we face in the church the world hasn't got any confidence in the Bible either. The non-Christian world has obviously rejected the word of God. So we stand alone as a little island. There are others like us, praise God. But we stand in the middle of a world that doesn't believe in the word of God. We stand in the middle of a church called "the Christian church" that is not committed to authority of the word of God.
And you know whenever you go around and say I believe in the absolute inspiration of the Bible there are always some people and I faced this when I used to travel around and teach in seminaries and things, they'd say man if you believe in that old thing that all the Bible is true, the inspired word of God, you've committed intellectual suicide. And somebody might say well if...you know, are you more intelligent than a non-Christian or are you more intelligent than the super professor with 49 little degrees after his name who study all the manuscripts and he doesn't believe in inspiration, are you more intelligent than he is? After all, he's examined the evidence.
Does Grace Community Church and does John MacArthur and a few other people in the world have some kind of inside information which the rest of the world doesn't have and that's why we've got the secret that the Bible's really inspired when the non-Christian world says bologna and the majority of the theological world agrees with them?
Have we got inside information? How in the world can we stand in the face of the philosophers and the intelligentsia of our world and claim the Bible to be authoritative and to be inerrant. When everybody keeps telling us it isn't. Let me say this, in the first place, and hang on to this, in the first place, it is not because we're more intelligent. Did you know that? There are a lot of people in this world more intelligent than me, a whole bunch of them, a lot of you.
There are a lot of much more brilliant people than me who have studied all kinds of things about theology. And they continue to reject the Bible's claim to divine authorship. Acceptance or rejection of the authority of the Bible is not a matter of intelligence. In the second place, we don't have special information. We don't have some kind of secret document hidden in the back of our church that tells us the real scoop.
I don't sneak back there in the middle of the week and find out what's going on. I don't have anything that an unbeliever doesn't have. That's all I've got right there. That's it. I've only got two eyes and one small brain and I just read. You know, some people think that we've got inside information and that the reason that the unbeliever doesn't believe in the Bible is because he doesn't have sufficient proof of its authority. And that if all we could...if we could just get to a bunch of unbelievers and if we could show them all the proofs for the authority of the Bible they'd all believe.
No, that's not true, because it isn't a question of proof anymore than it's a question of intelligence. People say well, if they only understood the unity of the Bible. If they only understood the miracles, the scientific accuracy, the archeological evidence, the transforming energy and power of the Bible, if they only understood fulfilled prophecy, they'd believe.
But you know something, it doesn't work that way. It doesn't work. Now all those proofs are important. You know why they're important? Because they strengthen the faith of a Christian. You know, I'm a Christian. I believe the Bible, then when I study it and I see its unity and its miracles and its scientific accuracy and its archeological data, its transforming power in my life, it's fulfillment of prophecy, I get excited about that and my faith gets stronger.
Same unbeliever hears the same thing and he just walks away from it. Now let me tell you something, those proofs are important to strengthen the faith of a believer. But listen, there's a basic fallacy, and I want to say this it's the very beginning of our series, there's a basic fallacy in thinking that all of those things will prove something to unbelievers. That's a fallacy and I'm not going to do this series in order to convince unbelievers. If I want to do that, I wouldn't do it here. I'd go do it at Cal State North Ridge or somewhere.
You say, well, don't you think it'll convince unbelievers? Well, I don't even want to approach it that way, because I see a basic fallacy in that. What's the fallacy? Listen, if I am going to try to use proofs to convince an unbeliever that he ought to believe the Bible, I am in effect violating a very direct fact that's in the Bible itself. And that is this, no man has the right to sit in judgment on the credibility and truthfulness of the Bible.
God is the creator, man is the creature and that's how it is. And God never gives to the creature the right to evaluate the creator. And when you place a man who's a non-Christian in the position of being judge over the character and the credibility of the Bible, you're giving him a right that God doesn't even give him.
So I'm not going to use this as just a way to prove to unbelievers. I want to use it as a way to strengthen the faith of believers. Man is never, unbelieving man, non-Christian man, is never granted the right to sit in judgment on God. That's why God doesn't even defend Himself. When we appeal to an unbeliever, you know we say well, here's all the evidence, what do you think? Pass judgment on the divine authorship of the Bible. You're giving him a right to do something that God doesn't give him the right to do.
It allows no man to sit in judgment on it. No, we don't believe the Bible because we're smarter, because we're not smarter. We don't believe the Bible because we have more proof either. You know, you can give the same proof and I've seen it done and I've done it myself. I've gone to college campuses and I have given so much proof...I did a series...I remember at Woodyer College on why the Bible is believable for three solid weeks for one solid hour every week and for an hour after that I answered questions. I mean the weight of evidence was astounding. Do you know how many people responded to Jesus Christ in three weeks? Zero. Zero.
And my assumption was wrong. Those people didn't have the right to be offered the choice of making an evaluation of the truth of the Bible. Let me tell you something folks, you know why we believe the Bible? I'll give it to you simple. Because God made us new creatures, illumined our minds with His blessed Holy Spirit and told us it was true. Did you get that?
It's a question of revelation. Take your Bible and turn to 1 Corinthians Chapter 2. First time Paul arrived in Corinth he could have taken the apologetic approach. Could have said and I want to give you the reasons to believe what I say. I want to give you the reasons to believe in God. I want to give you all the proofs of God, all the proofs of Christ's deity, all the proofs of this, the proofs of that, the proofs of the other, but he didn't do any of that.
1 Corinthians 2:1, "I brethren when I came to you came not with excellency of speech or wisdom declaring unto you the testimony of God. I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and," what? He didn't deal with...he didn't deal with proofs of anything. He just preached the cross. Because when a man is redeemed the Holy Spirit takes care of the convincing.
"I was with you in weakness and fear and much trembling. My speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." You know, I'm not interested in convincing somebody to be saved. I'm just interested in presenting the gospel so the Holy Spirit has the tools to recreate Him.
I don't want intellectual converts. "However, we speak wisdom among them that are perfect. Yet not the wisdom of this age nor of the princes of this age that come to nothing, but we speak the wisdom of God and the mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the ages unto our glory which none of the princes of this age knew, for if they had known it they would never have crucified the Lord of glory."
Watch, here's the reason they don't know it and here's the reason the unbelieving man cannot absorb legitimate proof. "As it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard neither entered into the heart of man the things which God's prepared for them that love Him, but God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit." The reason I know that the Bible is true is because the Spirit of God has convinced me of that.
"For the Spirit searches all things, ye the deep things of God for what man knoweth the things of a man except the spirit of man that is in him. Even so the things of God knoweth no man but the Spirit of God." Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is over God that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
You'll only know the gift of revelation from God when the Spirit of God convinces you that it's true, because human reason doesn't perceive it. Verse 14, "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God. They are foolishness unto him. Neither can he know them because they're spiritually discerned. If I can throw Ephesians 2:1 in, "And he's spiritually dead."
I believe the Bible with all my heart people. You know why I believe it? I believe it first of all because the Holy Spirit came into my life when I received Jesus Christ as Savior and the Holy Spirit has given me confidence in the word of God. And I'll tell you something, as I've studied the Bible and I've seen these truths that we'll be sharing in this series and I've seen the archeological evidence, the miracle evidence, the prophecy evidence, the scientific evidence, all that's done is just strengthen and under gird the faith that the Holy Spirit planted there to begin with.
Here's the point of this whole series. This is for you that love the Lord Jesus Christ. I want to strengthen your faith. I want you to see what a marvelous book it is. And if you can get more confidence in the Bible and you can pour more of your life into the Bible, you're going to be a richer Christian for it, is that right?
I want you to believe it with your whole heart. Like Spurgen said, I want your blood to bibbling. The Bible says that God by His grace has dealt in a very special way with Christians and He's removed the barriers. He's removed the blindness. You know, 2 Corinthians 4:4 says "the God of this world has blinded the minds of them that believe not lest the light of the glorious gospel if Christ should shine unto them." They're blind, they're ignorant, they're dead, there's no way they're going to understand it. When God gives spiritual light then the apprehension of the word of God comes to us. Remember what Jesus said? I think it's beautifully illustrated in John 10. He said, "My sheep hear my voice." His sheep hear His voice.
You know why you hear His voice in the word of God? You're His sheep. Remember the verse in Galatians 3, I think it's verse 26 where He says, "For you are all children of God by faith and Jesus Christ." Listen, I'm a child of God and I know when my Father's talking.
I pick up this Bible and I say yep that's Him. He's talking and I'm hearing. If I don't know Him, I don't know if it's Him talking. So only when the Holy Spirit does a regenerating work opens the mind, tears down the scales of blindness, gives life where there's death, plants the marvelous understanding of the revelation of God will we ever understand.
You say, well, John, are you telling me that all those traditional proofs have no purpose? Yes, they have a wonderful purpose, but I don't think their primary purpose is to convince unbelievers. The only way an unbeliever is ever going to get saved is when the Spirit of God does a miracle in his heart. And you say, well, can't say some of this be used? Yes, I think maybe we could say this, there might be some unbelievers who will come in as we share these thoughts and they'll be just escaping from the corruption of the world. They'll just be thinking about Christ. They'll just be emerging to understand Christianity and maybe God will use this to just pull them across. I praise Him for that.
But in and of itself, all the proof stacked up in the world apart from the convicting work of the Holy Spirit has no effect. And I'll tell you something else, all the proof in the world, if the Holy Spirit's already doing the work, really isn't that necessary. So this is to under gird the faith of Christians. Now the Spirit may use it in the life of an unbeliever to bring that final convincing. I pray that He does.
Let's do it this way. Instead of saying prophecy has been fulfilled, the Bible is scientifically accurate, miracles occurred, the Bible produces radical and revolutionary changes in lives, therefore it is the word of God. Let's reverse that whole thing and let's say this. The Bible is word of God. We believe that therefore, prophecy has been fulfilled, miracles have been done, scientific facts have been given that are accurate, lives have been transformed, prophecy has been fulfilled, etc.
Instead of saying these things are true, therefore the Bible is the word of God, let's say the Bible is the word of God, therefore these things are true. These aren't proofs friends, these are products. Thus we do not grant the non-Christian the right to sit in judgment on God's word as to whether or not it meets his approval. He is a creature and as a creature he is subject to the word of his creator. He is to believe it. He is to obey it. He is never to judge it.
So in a sense our study's for Christians. Now, the unbeliever he just...he can't evaluate. You know what I always think of when I think of this? I think of the life Jesus. Is there any way conceivable to explain away the fact that a population of Jewish people totally and absolutely rejected their own Messiah when He did for a period of three years miracle after miracle after miracle after miracle incessantly in the face of all them when it was all said and done, they screamed for His blood and executed Him.
Now you talk about proof, Jesus Himself said, "If it isn't the words that I've said that should convince you, it's the deeds that I've done." But Jesus knew that wasn't convincing to them. Most of the miracles that Jesus did throughout His entire ministry for the convincing of the disciples, not the world. Sometimes they came and said hey Jesus do a trick. Do a trick. And Jesus said in John 6, Yeah, you want a trick so you can get some food, not so you can be convinced who I am. And sometimes when they came and said show us a sign, He said, I'm not giving any more signs to this evil, adulteress generation.
It's for you that I'm going to go through this series, because I want you to really fall in love with the book and I want you to have absolute confidence that every word here is true and when somebody nails you to the wall and says why do you believe the Bible, I want you to be able to say this is why I believe the Bible, not so much for His sake, but for your sake so you're secure in your faith. So this is for us. Now, tonight I want to just begin with just a simple introduction. I just want to introduce a thought to you. We have to start somewhere and if we're going to defend the Bible, here's what we're going to start with. We're going to start with the concept of revelation. Because revelation is the heart of everything. Christianity claims to be a revealed truth. Here's the difference.
A philosophy is something a man sits down and cranks out. A revelation is something that's revealed from God. We claim to be a revealed religion. Now here we are in our little world, trapped on earth, bounded by time and space, sensing somewhere in the deepest part of our being that somewhere out there there's some kind of power called God, but we haven't got any way to attain the knowledge of Him. Satan's told us if we stir up certain kind of religions we'll reach God. So man has invented religion upon religion upon religion and attempted to crawl out of his little box and find God and it doesn't work.
Christianity says that God invaded the world and revealed Himself. This is a revealed religion. God Himself removed the obstacles to understanding and disclosed who He was. The word reveal, apocalypto means to unveil something previously hidden. That's what Christianity is. Do you know folks that until this book was put together none of this stuff was known?
The revelation of God in its fullness was unknown. And it was given progressively, little by little, more and more until it was finally completed at the end of the New Testament, totality of the revelation of God was given. Christianity is the unveiling of God. Look with me for just a minute and you can stay there for a second because we're going to consider Hebrews 1. And the first two verses gives us probably as good a sum up on the biblical doctrine of revelation as there is anywhere in the Bible.
Hebrews 1:1-2, "God who at sundry times and in diverse manners spoke in time passed unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoke unto us by His son whom He hath appointed heir of all things by whom also He made the worlds." Now notice, "God who at sundry times and in diverse manners spoke in time passed unto the fathers by the prophets hath in these last days spoke unto us by His son."
Now that is a majestic statement. That defines for us the Bible. It is God speaking. It is God's disclosure of Himself. It is God's revelation. Though man senses are marvelous, they are incapable of reaching beyond the natural world. Men is censorially incapable of comprehending, identifying or understanding the supernatural. It has to be revealed to him. We don't expect the bug in the bottle to understand the boy that put it there. Nor can we expect man in his natural state to comprehend God. It can't be done.
So revelation is the act by which God makes Himself known and if He doesn't do that, then He is not known because man cannot know Him. Now as we look at the glorious truth of revelation, I want to consider five aspects. Five aspects of revelation, the revealer, the revelation, the reason, the result, and the response.
First of all, the revealer. Who is this God who is revealing Himself? Who is this God who in Hebrews 1 speaks? Now the term, notice it Hebrews 1:1, "God who at sundry times and in diverse manners spoke." God spoke. Who is this God? Notice that it says He spoke at sundry times and in diverse manners. Palumaros and palutrapos, what does it mean? It means that in many portions that is in different books and in many manners through visions, types, symbols, parables, prophecies, everything. God through many different books and through many different ways of communication spoke, but He always speaks.
Francis Schaeffer is right when he says "He is there and He is not silent." God speaks. Aren't you glad He speaks? Because if He doesn't speak, we don't know Him. If we don't know Him, we're lost. But He speaks. Do you realize that it is the character of God to speak? It is His nature to speak, just like you are made to speak. You're given a mouth to speak. God in the essence of His nature communicates. For example, Genesis Chapter 1 says "He spoke and out of nothing the universe was born."
In fact, when Jesus came in the world it is said of Him "that the word was made flesh." You know the name for God was the word. The Jew understood God as a speaking God, "thus saith the Lord," he heard all of his life. God speaks and the best title that John could come up with for the revelation of God in the flesh was the living word. God speaks.
People, I'm so glad God speaks so we don't have to guess right here. God has spoken. This is the claim the Bible makes for itself. Do you realize that Deuteronomy Chapter 4 at the Mount Sinai God even let the children of Israel hear His voice? They didn't know what was going on, but they heard a loud thunderous voice.
Way back in the early days when Israel began, God spoke. He spoke to the prophets. Prior to that even to Abraham He spoke. God speaks. The Psalmist said this, "Forever oh Jehovah thy word is settled in heaven." Jesus said "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my," what, "words shall never pass away." Peter said, "the word of the Lord abides forever," 1 Peter 1:25.
Listen friends our God is not silent, He speaks. He's not like the dumb idols of 1 Corinthians 12:2. Let me show you an interesting passage on this. Isaiah 46, and I know I've gone by a lot of things rapidly, and we'll cover them again as we go through this series. This is interesting. Here's the difference between God and all the systems of religion, the idols. He says in verse 5 of the heathen you know, to try to make their idols, "To whom will you liken me and make me equal and compare me that we may be alike?" Are you going to have gods like me?
"They lavish gold out of the bag and they weigh silver in the balance and they hire a goldsmith and he makes a god." Take all the little gold and silver and they make a god, nice little god made by the goldsmith. And you know what they do? They fall down, yes, they worship the god. "They bear it on their shoulders, they carry it, they set in its place, its stands from its place shall it not move." That's a god whose got a problem. It's not omni-present. Now watch this. "Ye one shall cry unto it, yet can it not answer?" God is the only God who speaks. He's the only God. It is God's nature to express Himself. Remember on Mount Carmel, 1 Kings 18, Elijah went up and said all right, let's see who is God. We'll find who is God. Let's find who speaks. You call on Baal, I'll call on God. Whoever answers that's God. And man they called on Baal for a long time. And the prophet kept saying well maybe he's asleep. Oh I think he's away on vacation. Just whish. And then Elijah said, God would you like to say something. And God said a lot. He sent fire from heaven consumed not only the sacrifice, but the rocks and the water. And the people said the Lord He is God. The Lord He is God. God speaks. It is God's nature to express Himself.
Let me add this, when God is silent, it is judgmental. When God is silent it is judgmental. When Saul rejected the Lord in repeated disobedience over and over and over, 1 Samuel 28, verse 6 says "He inquired of Jehovah and Jehovah answered him not." In regard to Israel God said to dear weeping prophet Jeremiah, he said "Pray not for this people. I will not hear their cry." Jeremiah 14:11-12. Proverbs Chapter 1, verse 23, do you ever read this? "Turn you at my reproof," God says, "behold I'll pour out my Spirit unto you. I'll make known my words unto you." God says if you turn and listen you can hear me. I'll talk to you. "Because I've called and you refused. I've stretched out my hand and no man regards. You would have said it not all my counsel and would have none of my reproof." Then the table turns. "I will laugh at your calamity, I will mock when your fear comes. When your fears comes as desolation and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you then shall they call upon me and I will not answer. They will seek me early and they will not find me."
God silence is judgmental. But God has spoken and He's spoken in His word. God is a God who speaks. It's abnormal for God to be silent. It only occurs in judgment. It's His nature to speak. You say well, what's this revealer who speaks like?
Let me just give you some thoughts and we'll just cover these and be done. He's personal, did you know that God's personal? He calls Himself I. And He calls us you. He's personal. You know what He said to Moses? He said hey Moses, do you know what my name is? "My name is I am that I am." That's personality. "My name is I am that I am." What a name. And that was a name that was like all other God given names like Abraham and Israel and Jesus. It had significance. The name I am stands for a free purposeful, self-sufficient personality.
I am that I am. Not just I am, but I am what I want to be. Free, purposeful, sovereign, self-sufficient personality. God's not a floating fog. God's not an it. He's not aimless blind force. Not a cosmic energy. God is an All Mighty, self-existence, self-determining person with mind and will. He's a person. All you have to do is read the Bible and you find out that God is a person. He has all of the attributes of personality. You know, you'd never know that unless you had a Bible to know it. You say what about the creation? Can't you see God in the creation? Sure, but what you see in the creation you see is not personality. What you see in the creation is power and deity. The personality comes in the revelation of the word of God. And if you read through the Bible long enough, you're going to find out that not only is God personal, but He's tri-personal, right?
I mean, you know, it starts out when it says that God created everything He uses the word Elohim, and any time you see the i-m ending on the end of a Hebrew word it has to do with plurality. And then you have a little conversation in heaven going like this. The Lord said unto my Lord. Even in the Old Testament, God is a plurality. He's tri-personal. He's a personality. You know what the New Testament name for God is? Have you ever known...you know what the New Testament name for God is, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That's the New Testament name for God. It's right there in Matthew 28:19. He's personal.
Secondly, we find that the revealer is moral. He reveals Himself as one supremely concerned about right and wrong. It's a high priority with God. Thinking of Exodus 34, interesting passage beginning in verse 6, "And the Lord passed by before him and proclaimed the Lord, the Lord God," watch, "merciful, gracious, long-suffering, abundant, in goodness and truth. Keeping mercy for thousands forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin." Now watch this, "And who will by no means clear the guilty." He just said He was merciful and forgiving, what is that supposed to mean?
It means that God is a just God and He will not just throw aside guilty people and say well it's all right, I'll let you off the hook. He'll show mercy, but believe me somebody will pay the penalty for the sin. And if you know anything about the gospel, you know that somebody was Jesus Christ. God's a moral God. He must punish sin as well as forgive. Gracious and merciful and yet He's moral. He will by no means clear the guilty. He's personal, He's moral.
I'll tell you something else about this God, He is the source and the stay and the end of all creation. It says in Roman 11:36, "Of Him and threw Him and unto Him are all things." Turn with me for just a minute and we'll just look at this passage and be done, Acts 17. Acts 17:22, "Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill and said ye men of Athens I perceive that in all things you're very religious." That's a good way to start. Kind of winning them over a little bit. "As I passed by and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with the inscription to the unknown God whom therefore you ignorantly worship him declare I unto you." I notice you've got an unknown god around here. I like to have you meet him. I know him very well.
And then he describes the unknown god. First of all he says the source of everything, verse 24. "God who made the world and all things in it." Source of everything. "Who made the world and all things in it." Verse 26, "Hath made of one blood all nations of men who dwell on the face of the earth and determine the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation." Not only geographically, but in terms of ages. God is the source of everything.
God is the stay of everything. He upholds it, verse 25. "Neither is He worshipped with men's hands as though He needed anything seeing He giveth to all life and breath and all things." Here's His sustaining power. Verse 28 puts it this way, "In Him we live and move and have our being." Here's God not only as the source, but as the stay. He is the one in whom we live and move and have our being. God is the end of all things. Verse 27, "That they should seek the Lord if perhaps they might feel after Him and find Him though He's not far from everyone of us. He is the end of all, man's destiny is to know Him."
So God is personal, moral, He is the source, He is the stay, and He is the end of all. Let me add this forethought. He's available. Aren't you glad about that? Verse 27, "That they should seek the Lord if perhaps they might feel after Him and find Him though He's not far from everyone of us."
I'm telling you folks it's a glad thought to know that God is available. He's infinitely great according to verse 24. He doesn't dwell in temples made with hands. And He doesn't need a thing. He doesn't need anything, verse 25. "Neither is worship with men's hands as though He needed anything." He's self-sufficient, but He's also available. Praise God for that.
So we meet the revealer. Who is this God who speaks? He's personal, He's moral, He's the source and the stay and the end of all things and He's available to you. And you see friend that's the reason that He wrote this, because He wanted you to know Him. The fact that He's personal indicates that He wants to have fellowship with you. The fact that He's moral indicates that He wants to deal with you righteously. The fact that He's the source and the stay and end of all creation means that your life and it's destiny is dependent upon your relation to Him.
The fact that He's available is the concluding, exciting concept that you can come into a full relationship with Him. That's why He revealed Himself. In order to be all to you that you needed a God to be. I hope you can meet the revealer and the only place you'll ever meet Him is in the pages of His revelation. And we'll talk about that next time.
Let's pray. Father, we thank you tonight that we've had a good time of fellowship. I feel Lord like we really didn't cover all things that we had in our heart to cover but just trust your Spirit. We want to have confidence in the word. We want the study of the doctrine of the word of God to build us up and strengthen us and encourage us in the faith. And we do even as Peter said, want to be able to give to every man an answer for the reason of the hope that is within us with meekness and fear. We want to know what we believe, but we also want to know why we believe it. We want to have confidence in Your word. So bless the time that we'll spend together in the weeks to come studying this.
Thank you God, for being a revealing God. Thank you for not hiding Yourself. Thank you for revealing that You're personal, that You care about us as individuals. That You're moral, that You're just at the same time You're gracious and forgiving and merciful. That You're the source and the stay and the end of all things. That is that our entire life and all of its destiny is wrapped up in the knowledge of You. Thank you that You're available.
Lord, we would only ask this that You would make Yourself very available tonight by Your Holy Spirit to anybody who doesn't yet know You. We pray that You'll go beyond the human capacity and that the Holy Spirit would convince those hearts that You are true. And that the only way to know You is through Jesus Christ. That they would claim Your availability in Christ tonight.
Thank you for the joy and the privilege of sharing together giving us all that You've given us in Christ. Thank you for being the revealer You are. We pray in Jesus' blessed name. Amen.

This week, Weekly Food Editor Brock Radke ranks his 20 most important restaurants in Las Vegas, but it's not just bistros and sushi bars that steer our tastes. Often out of sight, chefs determine the way we eat, from picking portion sizes to introducing new flavors. And few Vegas chefs have been more influential than RM Seafood's Rick Moonen. We caught up with the apostle of sustainable seafood to talk about culinary chemistry, having a great palate and a very special dinner with chef Matt Accarrino of SPQR in San Francisco.
Let's start with your Shellfish Lover's Paradise dinner on March 14. You're teaming up in the kitchen for it.
It's Matt Accarrino, who worked for me years ago when I was at Oceana. He considers me one of his great mentors. What he said is, Tom Colicchio taught him about media and dealing with all of that stuff. The strict structure, organization and running of a kitchen he learned under Thomas Keller. And he said his palate—learning about flavors and the excitement and balance of flavors and all of the things to do with his palate—he learned with me. I'm just a nut who is very focused on how food reacts in your mouth. I always tell people, if it doesn't make you salivate when you taste, you didn't do something right.
- Shellfish Lover's Paradise
- With chef Matt Accarrino
- March 14, 7 p.m., $150.
- RM Seafood, Mandalay Place, 632-9300.
That's pretty high praise from the Michelin-starred Accarrino.
They used to call me, not to my face, they called me "the Palate." Anytime someone would come up with something in the kitchen, they'd say, "Bring it to the Palate." I would taste it and I'd go, "Yeah, this is great except it needs a little more acidity." And I'd send them off. … And when they got it, we'd high five and put it on [the menu] as a special.
Is that something you can learn? Are you just born with a honed palate?
I think it's something that you're born with or you're not. I didn't realize I was born with it. To me it's normal; it's no big deal. But I find so many people struggling with the way I'll describe food to them. Matt got it. He embraced it. He instituted it into the matrix of what makes him Matt Accarrino today. I'm so proud of him. He's the next generation of modern Italian cuisine, but it's still through the eyes of an American chef.
So what dishes or ingredients are making you salivate right now?
One of the dishes that I'm serving on this particular menu is a Thai green papaya salad that I just think screams umami, 'cause it's got such a bite. ... The depth of flavor comes from a shrimp paste that is mixed with green papaya, which is one of the greatest things you could possibly eat, 'cause it's got great fiber. It's packed with an enzyme called papain, one of the most powerful digestive enzymes that you could take. In fact, they use it as a meat tenderizer. Papain can digest 20 times its weight in protein.
Wow. I've never heard of that before.
When I was a chef down in Key West, Florida, I became the kitchen doctor. Somebody would go out on the beach and they'd step on a sea urchin or get bit by a jellyfish or a bee sting, they'd come in the kitchen and I'd take Accent, which is a meat tenderizer, make a paste out of it, put it on and it just sucked out the toxins.
I feel like I just had a science lesson.
As a kid, I wanted a chemistry set my whole life. My parents wouldn't give it to me 'cause they were smart enough to realize that I would probably blow the house up. But I loved the reactions of things, how things happened. I was so hyperactive my mother would take me in the kitchen and make me stir the pudding. And I'd be stirring it, bored out of my face, and all of a sudden it'd thicken before my eyes. It's chemistry and science that really intrigued me about cuisine—baking bread, watching it rise. The whole thing just blew my mind.
Are you still working with local farms as suppliers for RM Seafood?
Yes. Now with my new executive chef, Johnny Church, who's so into it with me, we're getting produce from Boulder City. I'm getting eggs and produce and stuff from Pahrump. And of course, we're getting stuff from California, because reality be, Las Vegas, Nevada, is closer to more organic farms than Los Angeles, California. We're not as remote as people may think. We can still kick butt on foraging and coming up with really cool ingredients.
Let's talk about your interest in sustainable fishing practices. How did that start?
I started at Oceana and I got a phone call from Nora Pouillon, who has Nora's, an organic restaurant in D.C. She called me and asked if I would participate in a Give Swordfish a Break campaign, which was an awareness-pitched program to get people to realize that if we don't do something about the way we procure and consume North Atlantic swordfish, it would be commercially extinct within the next three to four years. … So there's the kickoff of Give Swordfish a Break, the media's invited, very well attended. So Nora Pouillon would go up to the podium … Then Eric Ripert said something. Then I got up, Rick Moonen, the American chef, was over here talking about how he goes to the Fulton Fish Market and the fish used to be 200 pounds and up—called a double marker—and now the normal sized fish is under 100 pounds, which is called a pup. I walk away thinking my job is done; I'm participating; life is good. No. The media pushes me in a corner, starts talking to me. Why? 'Cause I was the only person without a heavy accent. I ended up becoming the poster child for Give Swordfish a Break. Started my belief in being responsible, and I just got more and more involved with over fishing, by-catch issues, habitat destruction, aquaculture's not as good as you think it is. … I couldn't turn my back on it.
What can consumers do to help?
The most important thing is, to me, Rick Moonen, diversity. There's millions upon millions of species of fish in the ocean. Edible protein—delicious. And we're the top predators so we just want a select few that we deem to be delicious.
I read a study recently that found a lot of fish are actually mislabeled in stores, so we think we're eating snapper but really it's sea bream. Why are we so obsessed with a few species of fish?
We just haven't been exposed to the other species of fish that are absolutely very delicious. Chefs are dying to get their hands on something different. I'm sick and tired! I don't want to just cook salmon, tuna, bass. I'm done with that. There's so many other species out there.
Do you ever personally get to go out fishing?
I do. I've been up in Bristol Bay; I was fly-fishing with Dan Rather. Bristol Bay is one of the most beautiful places in the world; it's untouched by man; it'll make you weep it's so beautiful. You get from fishing area to fishing area by float plane, and the reason I went up there was they discovered a large concentration of gold and copper. And they want to do an open pit mine at the headwaters of these rivers that supply close to 50 percent of the world's supply of sockeye salmon. And that mine would just make that go away.
You're a New Yorker, but you've become a longtime Las Vegan.
I love where I live; I love watching it grow. I've been here long enough that I can see changes happening and be a part of them and be supportive. … We're in a city where you always have to reinvent yourself. So that's why upstairs is going to be fun. I'm reinventing upstairs. It's not going to be fine dining seafood, I can promise you that.
