Louie Giglio: Laminin molecule declares God’s glory
Order the DVD
I had never heard of Louie Giglio until today, but I ran across the following clip from one of his messages from How Great Is Our God. If there had been no video, I would have sworn that I was listening to John Piper: the voice and the style sounds exactly like him, even Piper’s trademark usage of hyphenated phrases. Giglio is a powerful communicator, but more importantly he speaks of the power of God’s glory in His creation.
After watching this brief clip, my wife ordered this DVD for the Christian bookshop she manages in Pontypridd, Wales; and they seem to disappear as soon as she gets them on the shelf. The video excerpt below is just a small sample of the message.

Thanks for sharing this brother…this was amazing, and quite encouraging!
God Bless you for having the courage to obey God and present the message He gave you. We are fearfully and wonderfully made!
I’m glad He has spoken and all God’s glory is shown and proven through this video..
Awesome video!!!! Yes, God declares His glory in EVERY living thing!
A good friend told me about Laminin and how it’s shape reflects the Cross of Jesus. My heart sings happiness because I always knew He would start to reveal himself in amazing ways. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and He is my beloved! Praise God forever!
Found this clip on the internet AFTER my Pastor showed it at church today….AWESOME…..I was dumbfounded at the connection in the end about Laminin. If that doesn’t make goose bumps on your skin you just a skelton. Praise God for His sovereignty!
i first saw this video at church tonight. I immediately had to come home and listen to it again….our GOD is so AWSOME. I had chills up and down my spine when I heard this video, and saw the actual picture of Laminin. As a Nurse I never have even heard of Laminin until tonight. GOD is definately with us and holding us together. Jesus died on a Cross for us, How appropriate that we are held together by crosses, that HE holds us all the time
I am awestuck and amazed that God had that plan in mind before He breathed out the stars and we (mankind) . we’re definitely born for a purpose. We all lived a better life when we do God’s will and that is to give glory to God.
Seen your video in church I was impressed by your message ,I showed my husband your video at home, I was so excited about ” laminin” You are a very gifted speaker may God multiply your gift so people will understand how big our God is !
THat is so AWESOME i cant believe it that is good to know
I didn’t need to hear about this message to know that God has held me together through out my life. It only confirmed what I already knew and placed a deeper driven force in my soul to continue to serve God. I will share this message with all I know in hope that they will be able to know and experience the Awesome gift of GOD. Thank You
I heard this yesterday on the radio and could not wait to come home and look it up on line. On air I could even tell by response of the crowd that it was the sign of the cross. And during a dark part of my life it brought back the light and the belief that things would get better. Thank you all so much and I will tell everyone I know about the amazing Laminin. God Bless all.
My youth pastor was preaching a sermon and showed us Pastor Louie’s video on laminin. It is truly remarkable to see how much detail God put in us when he created us. Pastor Louie’s video is amazing. The first thing I did after that service was went home and googled laminin. I show everybody now!
I cry to think that God loves me so much. So unworthy am I, but He still chose to reveal His love to me. This video clip has poured deep down into my heart and I still feel Him holding me together!
We praise God the Father, Son & Holy Spirit each and every day. Today, we are especially thankful for the full restoration of our daughter, Stephanie, through God’s unfailing love through Christ in us. Amen.
Hi i am writing from Africa (Kenya). I was really blessed by watching the video how great is our God. It made me see God in his greatness and how much He loves me and that he holds everything together. How then can i question Him.
The video on hope was a blessing, especially the testimony of Ashly. I hope to see part 2 of the same when our pastor will show us in our next young meeting. Wow, there is more to share than that Jesus bless you.

Louie Giglio, i thank u so much cause u declared to all the world who is GOD and for what purpose we are living for GOD bless u keep going to reach GOD’s heart
Good to know that there are still a lot of us who believe in God. The next good question is, “Is the God to whom we believe in the most powerful or the true God who created us”? According to the Bible, there will be false christs and false prophets that will arise… It is true, there are many who teaches the name Christ but they do not follow the full teachings of Christ. Some Christ teaches not to eat pork, some say faith alone saves, some says once saved always saved, some teach to worship idols, some believ in oneness, etc… Yet, they all say that they are all Christians. True Christians knows what they should believe and what they should not believe. The Bible is complete, it contains all the imperative things that we should know and everything we should believe. Bible will teach us if Christians are allowed or not allowed to eat pork, what else should we need aside from faith to be save, why we should not worship idols, why and how salvation can be lost, etc…
Believing that there is a God is great. But using this black hole and the cross inside of it in relation with Laminin as a basis of believing God is a scrap. The Bible is complete, if you use it and read it, you will not be deceive by these false christ and prophets…
One saved , always saved… what utter nonsense. As a christian we have to be ever virgiliant because the enemy is always seeking to destroy children of God.. You may doubt your christianity but bthe enemy know who is a child of God and he rutless seek to destroy you.
Dear Brother Louie,
Thank you so much for making this information available. Your sermon about Laminin brought me to tears, it only proves what we as followers of Christ have always known. That the cross is the very thing that holds us together.
How can I order your sermons on D V D?
GOD bless you.

Jerry, thanks for visiting the Thin Edge blog. I have added additional resources, mostly DVDs, below the video clip. Just click to order!
Jhay…you are dead right in what you say.
Has anyone really stopped to consider the representation of the glycoprotein laminin that evangelists use is a two dimensional scientific drawing? And drawn by a scientist? The molecule can take many forms in three dimensions in real life, it just happens to have four appendages that can, in some entirely coincidental and random instances form what may be be crudely seen as a cross. What if it formed a swastika? Or a Minorah? The cross is an important symbol of the Christian belief and reminds people of a cruel and brutal method used to execute Jesus. But if he had been beheaded, burnt alive, buried alive or hung the four arms of laminin would still be present and the cross would have no symbolism. Get real………your God exists only if you believe He exists. To you that is important, to others it is irrelevant. Stop making fools of yourselves in trying to prove the unprovable. You’ve done it again and the gullible are spending money on DVD’s and other stuff. No wonder religious speaking is making fortunes for the speakers when an uninformed public pays to hear a message that simply reaffirms what they already believe.The best way for Christians to spread their belief is just to believe and act accordingly. That speaks louder than any image, book, evangelist, or other “discovery” which is patently absurd and brings you and your religious beliefs ridicule.
David,
I apologize for the moderation glitch. Our household goods shipped from Wales the day you left your comment and I have not had consistent (or complete) access to the internet since then. We’re getting settled in the USA once again. I just read your comment for the first time today.
You have made some excellent points, especially regarding the shape of the laminin molecule. I’ve seen artistic renderings of Roman crucifixions where the cross looked more like an uppercase “T” rather than its lowercase equivalent. And I sometimes cringe at the great pains some preachers take to illustrate their sermon material; and they often chase rabbits, losing their focus and making the illustration more important than the point being illustrated.
However, Giglio didn’t manufacture the scientific drawing that looks like what we traditionally recognize as a cross-shaped image, he simply co-opted the drawing to make the point that our physical bodies are held together by the power of Christ. The cross (as a mode of cruel execution) is often used within Christendom as a symbol for Christ and his conquering power over life and death.
I would disagree with your assertion that “your God exists only if you believe He exists.” Quite the opposite is true, I think: God exists whether you believe in His existence or not. For two thousand years, Christians have been the laughingstock of the world and its wisdom. We believe that it’s our responsibility to encourage one another to love and good deeds, which is exactly what Louie Giglio is doing in this video. It’s not about making money. Someone must have recognized a high level of encouragement in this man’s message and felt that it needed a wider audience. I think they were right even if you believe the entire thing to be a fool’s errand and filled with logical inconsistencies that cannot be proven.
If people want to buy a variety of media to encourage them in their faith journey, I think that’s a good thing. This seemingly insignificant blog article (and video) has been a source of real encouragement to many Christians.
AMAZING LOVE!!! HOW MUCH ARE GOD LOVES US< Our pastor shared this clip with us and it brought chills to my body. I thought of the people who believe in Evolution. This is just another amazing thing that God has shown us of himself. I am so excited!!!!!!!!. I cant wait to share this with my fellow believers. Its gonna be something sharing it with NON believers. If anyone has any advice on how to answer the questions like its, just coincidence or it’s like the people who found Christ’s face on potato chip PLEASE HELP!
How pity on those who believes on these kind of pastors. These pastors can’t introduce the greatness of God in the way it must be conveyed from the Bible. tsk tsk tsk!
Thank you for sharing this truth … Laminin held me together today, and put a smile on my face, tears in my eyes and a confirmation in my spirit as I worshipped the Lord this morning in personal devotions. Just when I thought Rev. 4:11/Chapter eight of “The Purpose Driven Life” was enough … then I remembered the video on laminin, and … W…O…W… I can’t speak now, but only cry in worship to God the Creator, Preserver and Governor of all things! I now have another tool of truth to boost my faith and encourage others with. God Bless you Louie!
Indeed the Bible provided us with the truth and guidance that we need in all matters. However this does not mean that we do not receive encouragement from Christian Ministry, Christian Music, Christian Books/DVD’s etc.
We should be thankful that God has blessed people like Louie Giglio, Ken Ham and others with such knowledge and understanding of scientific issues that help to refute the lies of evolution that are continually presented as facts by schools and atheists such as Richard Dawkins. It is vital that such lies are challenged or we will reach the time when they will be accepted as fact.
What is not helpful is Christians questioning the integrity of people like Louie, because they misunderstand what he is seeking to do. Whatever way you look at Louie Giglio’s DVD, it must surely encourage any believer in their Faith as we are reminded of what an AWESOME GOD we serve. The discovery of Laminin and its cross type shape, if taken in the right context, should only serve as an encouragement to any believer.
Dear Peter Littleton,
With regards to what you said and I quote “However this does not mean that we do not receive encouragement from Christian Ministry, Christian Music, Christian Books/DVD’s etc.” The Bible is complete when it comes to God’s teachings”. When you said Christians, these are the people who follows Christ’s Gospel, not just part of it but the full Gospel. When you say that you are a Christian, then you do not follow all that Christ teachings, then you are not a Christian (it is easy to say that I am a Christian, but proving is another thing) ,,, is it really Christian Ministry or is it really Christian Music? The Bible is complete and there is no need to add anything on it (2 Timothy 3:16). All teachings when it comes to Christianity is written in the Bible. Anything outside of it is not of God (1 Corinthians 4:6). We should not beleive right away to any preacher but we should test them first (1 John 4:1). I am sorry to tell this but I have a lot of evidence to say this, Louie Giglio and Ken Ham teachings are not Biblical. Not just them but many preachers of our time. They have different doctrines but they all claim that they are of Christ. But definitely not all of them are true. There is only one that is of God, beleive me. It is for us to find out. Open your mind and read the Bible and you will find out. There are lots of ways to encourage beleivers rather that laminin scrap. They just do not know the Bible’s way…
Scripture (which by the way I do read), also warns us against being judgmental of others. Is it right to stand in judgment of people like Louie and Ken and others if we hardly know them? I’m sorry if I missed it, but I did not detect very much love in your reply. 1 Cor 13 is a good place to begin thinking about how we must show love and what we are if we do not.
We all have differing opinions on matters and if you have a different opinion that does not make your one the right one. We all must have the Grace to accept that we cannot be right on everything. The Bible is never wrong however Christians do not always agree on the interpretation of a particular verse of passage and if this happens then have to agree to disagree without being overly critical of the other person. Anything teaching that contradicts Scripture is clearly wrong however, Louie and Ken’s preaching compliments Scripture and does not oppose it.
Our key role as Christians is to Glorify Our Glorious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We do not accomplish this by being needlessly critical of fellow believers.
Some key qualities of God’s Servants can be found in 2 Tim 2: 24, 25. Not Quarrelsome, but Gentle, Patient and showing Humility. Indeed these are attributes that will show the Love of Christ to others and glorify Our Father in Heaven.
Dear Peter Littleton,
Thank you for your reply regarding my comments, I am glad that you do believe in the Bible. I hope that this will be a healthy conversation between us. In contrary of majority of religous leaders are saying, Christians are open to debate. As a matter of fact, Jesus Christ had many debates/argumentaion with pharisees. That is the reason why they crucified Christ, they were hurt when Crhist tells them the truth. Because the truth hurts them. Stephen had argumentation with the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians in synagogue (Acts 7:8-9). Saint Paul, Peter and all Apostles had debates as well. I know you would agree with me. So, why does pastors of our times does not want to engage to a debate or argumentation? Is it because it is not a Christian way? or it is Quarrelsome? Or not gentle? not patient and not showing humility? Of course not… The reason is because they are afraid that their wrong doings will be revealed. You mentioned the 2 Tim 2: 24, 25, I am not against this verse and this actually what I am doing. Start reading from verse 23 up to 26. Let us examine it. ” 23But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.24And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” Verse 24 said that servant of the lord must not strive.Strive from what? The answer is on verse 23, Strive not from foolish and unlearned question because they do gender strifes. Then, when you go to verse 25 it said, instructing those that oppose themselves in meekness; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. I am not striving for a non sense or foolish things. Many people are very meticulous when it comes to clothing, food, spending money etc. But not quite meticulous when it comes to their soul. We only have one soul and when satan captured it, it is very hard to win it back. All I want to say is read the Bible and open your mind and I dont really have to say anything and you will find out yourself why I said that “what Louie Giglio and Ken Ham teachings are not Biblical”. You said you did not detect very much love in my reply. Telling you the truth is Love. That is what I learned from the Bible (John 8:32). I did not say anything personal about Louie Giglio and Ken Ham. What I said is that their teachings are not Biblical. I am against their teachings because they are not Biblical. I am not against them personally. I am not being critical to them and I do not need to know them personally to judge if what they are saying are Biblical or not. All I need to do is read the Bible and compare Christ teachings from the Bible from what they are teaching. Please read (John 7:17). It is one way how to judge if a pastor is of God. You said we all have differnet opinions. I agree to that. But we cannot say that we are all Christians if we all have different opinions of Christ’s doctrines. Christians have uniform beliefs. Let say for example, some pastors teach their members not to eat pork, crabs, lobsters etc and other pastors teach that it is not sinful to eat those foods yet they both claim they are both Christians. The possibilities are one of them is correct or none of the are correct but definitely not both are correct. I hope you understand what I mean. We should differnetiate one faith to another to find the truth and it is not being Quarrelsome, ungentle, not patient etc (Ecclesiastes 7:27). The Bible itself is interpreted and we do not have to interpret it by ourselves. I hope we could be good friends though. Thanks for your courteous reply.

Well I am pleased with what you said that “Our Father in Heaven”. I believe that God the Father is in Heaven and is not everywhere. I have a trivia for you, I hope you could ask this to Louie Giglio and Jen Ham.. Here it goes, “Where is God when he have not yet created the heavens and the earth”? I will wait for your answer. Take care!
I mean, where was God when he have not yet created the heavens and the earth”? I will wait for your answer.
I was deeply touched by this video and the wonder of laminin! How great and awesome is our God! Thanks for sharing this!
God never ceases to amaze me. I cannot wait to the day i get to go home and see our wonderful Lord. As much as my heart pounds trying to imagine the glory that day will be I know I can’t even begin to imagine how glorious it will be.
Thank You for sharing
God was always, in his mind creating the world way before the foundation of this world yet he it was only in the manifestation of his creation that he reveal himself Elohim God to ask such a question denies the very existence of God from everlasting to everlasting. Your question is somewhat like what Job was rebuke by God Where where you when he created. where was you when you was not born in the mind of God .
Jhay
God is Omniscient – ever present. You cannot hide from God like Adam and Eve tried to. God is everywhere. Before God created the earth it was without form and void and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water.
If you have a pet such as a cat or a dog it has a limited knowledge of the world but the main thing it understands is that we are its owner/master. Similarly our ability to understand God has its limits, see Isaiah 55: v. 8-9. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your way my ways saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Some of the happiest Christians are those with a simple faith in the fact that God sent his some Jesus Christ to die on the Cross for our sins and that by receiving him as our Saviour and Lord our sins are forgiven and we have eternal life.
Sorry. In my previous post the last Paragraph should have read.
“Some of the happiest Christians are those with a simple faith in the fact that God sent his Son Jesus Christ to die on the Cross for our sins and that by receiving Him as our Saviour and Lord our sins are forgiven and we have eternal life”.
