Is
Creation Really Falling Apart?
Many people
asked me, “If God is an
all-powerful Creator, how could He let His creation fall
apart like this?” The implication is that God somehow
has lost control of Earth, that He is not sovereign.
But the
Bible tells us exactly what God, the Creator, is
doing. Because if the original sin committed
by Adam and Eve, God removed some of His sustaining
power. When God judged Adam’s sin in Genesis, He
also made the earth to begin to decay. In Romans
8:22, Paul tells us that all of creation is groaning
and travailing in pain. Everything is running down
because of sin. God has given us a taste of life without
Him… a world full of violence, death, suffering, and
disease.
But our
Creator’s hand is still obvious. The book of
Romans tells us the invisible things from the creation
are clearly seen, even His eternal power and Godhead.
Our very presence on earth is evidence of God’s
sustaining power. Romans 1:19 and 20 states this
very clearly:
“Because
that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for
God has shown it to them. For the invisible things
of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made, even His
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without
excuse:”
KJVER
I hope
that you caught that we are told that we are held
responsible for understanding this; “so that they
are without excuse:”
In fact,
if God withdrew all of His sustaining power, the
creation would cease to exist as explained to us in
Colossians 1:16 and 17. Instead, our Creator
is allowing things to slowly ‘unwind’ as a consequence
of sin.
But Christ
Jesus stepped into history to die on the cross to save
us from what Adam and Eve did, and what we continue to
do, and He has promised to restore His Creation and
return us to a perfect relationship with Him for
eternity.
For this
we should follow David’s lead:
“Make a
joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands. Serve the
Lord with gladness: come before His presence with
singing. Know you that the Lord He is God: and
into His courts with praise: be thankful to Him, and
bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is
everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations.”
Psalm 100 KJVER

What Is the Solution To Racism?
Believe it or not, the solution really is simple. If
people in every culture accepted the history of the world according to
the Bible, and built their thinking on God’s Word, then racism would
disappear.
However, we live in a world where the majority of people
reject God’s Word, and a result, the problem is not going to be solved.
Even so, Christians everywhere should be shouting from
the hilltops that we understand the solution. You see, the Bible
teaches that all people are of one blood. In reality,
there’s only one race of people, all descendants of Adam and Eve,
and there are not different races.
Today’s various ‘people groups’ and cultures came about
as a result of God giving different languages at the time of the Tower
of Babel. This would have caused different peoples to go in different
directions and to different environments, thus developing the various
groups that we call the races.
Genesis also tells us about the origin of sin. All
people have this problem. Because we all are contaminated with the
same blood disease, (we are all S-I-N Positive), all of mankind needs
the solution of trusting Christ Jesus and every person needs to conform
his/her thinking to His teachings. If everyone accepted this, there
would be absolutely no racism!
And [He]
has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of
the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds
of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply [perhaps]
they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every
one of us.
Acts 17: 26 and 27 KJVER

Why Do Many Christians Accept Evolution?
Unfortunately, many Christians, in fact, many pastors, accept some form
of evolution and try to add it to the Bible. They say that God could
have used evolutionary processes over millions of years to bring about
plants, animals, and finally man. Many accept molecule-to-man
evolution, from the goo, to the zoo, to you, because they believe that
science has “proven” that the earth is millions of years old. So they
simply attach God to the process.
But this view, called “theistic evolution,” is actually destructive to
the gospel message. Certainly, this does
not
mean that people who believe in theistic evolution are not Christians,
since the Bible teaches that believing in and confessing Christ’s death,
burial and resurrection is the key to salvation. However, they
are
being very inconsistent in their faith.
The Bible clearly teaches that when God created Adam and Eve, the world
was perfect… in other words, “very good.” There was no death and
bloodshed. But, because of the sin of Adam, God brought death as a
judgment into the world. However, He also provided a means by which man
could be reconciled to his Creator.
But a Christian who believes in evolution over eons as told by
evolutionists must also believe that God used death and bloodshed over
millions of years as a way to bring man into existence. For them, the
fossil record is not a sign of God’s judgment in the Flood, but of the
cruel nature of the world they believe God created. But, if death is
not a result of the Fall, then why would God need to send His Son to
save us from death? In this view, cancer, pain, and death would simply
be part of the original plan.
But thank God this is not the true history of the world. Death came
into the world because of sin, but Christ came to the earth and died to
save us from sin and death. There is
no
room for death before sin, and
no
room for the evolutionary myth in the Bible.

Evolutionist Quote of the
Month
“We can use TV as a potent propaganda machine.
The stage is set for the infusion of true
Satanic philosophy and potent (emotionally inspiring) music to accompany
the inverted crosses and pentagrams. Instead of holding our rituals in
chambers designed for a few dozen people, we are moving into auditoriums
crowded with ecstatic Satanists thrusting their fists forward in the
sign of the horns.”
Anton
Szandor LaVey, The Devil’s Notebook, Feral House, Los Angelos, p.
85, 1992.
