The Word For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
In our witnessing following Jesus’ example in explaining the good news and directing people to accept and trust Him is the duty of every Christian. How one responds is not our responsibility. “Jesus came….preaching the gospel of God….saying ‘repent and believe the gospel’” (Mark 1:14-15). Some will and some won’t….that’s ok who’s next? Knowing we are merely servants and tools of God is liberating. It is He who yields the increase. He requires only that we show up for work today.
How did blind chemistry create mind/ intelligence, meaning, altruism and morality? If everything evolved, and we invented God, as per evolutionary teaching, what purpose or meaning is there to human life? Should students be learning nihilism (life is meaningless) in science classes? See: creation.com/chesterton.

How do ‘living fossils’ remain unchanged over supposed hundreds of millions of years, if evolution has changed worms into humans in the same time frame? Professor Gould wrote, “the maintenance of stability within species must be considered as a major evolutionary problem.”1 See: creation.com/werner.

Following on from last week’s message concerning the wise and foolish virgins entitled “Being Ready”, we need to ensure that the “oil in our lamps” is the genuine article, that it is able to last the course, and burn until the end. We should remind ourselves that the oil represents an abiding knowledge of [..more..]
Why are the (expected) countless millions of transitional fossils missing? Darwin noted the problem and it still remains. The evolutionary family trees in textbooks are based on imagination, not fossil evidence. Famous Harvard paleontologist (and evolutionist), Stephen Jay Gould, wrote, “The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade [..more..]
“Humanism is, I believe, the most deadly and disastrous of all the philosophical stenches that’s crept up through the grating over the pit of Hell. It has penetrated so much of our religion. AND IT IS IN UTTER AND TOTAL CONTRAST WITH CHRISTIANITY! Unfortunately it’s seldom seen as such. And here we find Micah, [..more..]
Conviction “Without a thorough conviction of sin, men may seem to come to Jesus and follow Him for a season, but they will soon fall away and return to the world.”
Psalms Blessed is the man
