False Gods Will Perish

Posted on Dec 20, 2013 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 2 comments

“The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.” (Jeremiah 10:11) I often find myself thinking about Jer.10:11 as I consider the importance and the seriousness of the creation message. The people of Jeremiah’s day were worshipping idols of wood, silver, and gold which they made with their own hands. God, through Jeremiah, points out the futility of their idolatry. He tells them: “Learn not the way...

God Still Speaks

Posted on Nov 20, 2010 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

God is a great Communicator. From the very beginning of time, He has been speaking. Just notice how often the phrase “God said” appears in Genesis 1. Truly, the universe was created by His powerful Word. Hebrews 11:3 says, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”  Then, after creating man, God established communication with him. Even after Adam fell into sin, God came...

Plants Have Immune Systems

Posted on Aug 27, 2010 in Articles | 0 comments

Malachi 4:2a “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings….”   People and mammals have a multi-pronged immune system. When a bacterial infection is detected, cells begin to release nitric oxide, which kills bacteria, and they begin a cascade of other defense strategies. Ultimately, antibodies that directly attack any invader are produced. In recent years, scientists have discovered that even in certain...

Fly Genome Puzzles Evolutionary Scientists

Posted on Jul 6, 2010 in Creation Nuggets | 0 comments

Psalm 119:73 “Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.” Genes carry the biological information to make specific living things. Evolution says that simpler living things evolved first and more complex life evolved later. This would lead us to believe that more complex living things would have developed more genes. The creation approach suggests that each creature was designed with the genetic material...

There is No Genetic Code for the Human Soul

Posted on May 27, 2010 in Creation Nuggets | 0 comments

“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26 The $250 million Human Genome Project is attempting to map all the human genes. Some observers have been saying that the human genome project will define what it means to be human. Such talk, however, is based on evolution. We are not the sum of our DNA. It is well known, for example, that two people can inherit the same weakness for alcohol. One may become an...

Gems From Genesis – What Happened to God’s Good Earth?

Posted on Jul 20, 2008 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

In our last Gems From Genesis article,, we focused on Genesis 1:31:  “And God saw that it was very good.”  And truly it was, but as we look around our world today, we see many things that are NOT good.  How do we reconcile these things with the Bible?  How do we reconcile them with a loving, powerful Creator God? We need to read further in Genesis.  Genesis 3 describes the steps leading up to the tragic event that theologians have come to call The Fall.  The first human...

Gems From Genesis – In the Image of God pt. 2

Posted on Mar 20, 2008 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

In the last article, we looked at some ideas of what it means to be made “in the image of God.”  In particular, we talked about the fact that as a result of Adam’s sin, the image of God has been blurred and distorted in mankind.  However, in the fullness of time, God sent Jesus, “the image of the invisible God” (Col 1:15 AKJV), to be the “last Adam” and to undo the damage done by Adam’s sin, that we may be “conformed to the image of his Son” (Rom 8:29 AKJV).  This is truly...

Gems From Genesis – In the Image of God

Posted on Jan 20, 2008 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

At the end of Creation Week, after God had prepared the world and filled it with a spectacular array of plants and animals, He performed His crowning work of creation – the creation of mankind.  Genesis 2 describes this creative act in some detail, but the verses in Genesis 1 majestically declare the essence and position of man in creation.  While the animals were created “after their own kinds,” only mankind bears the image of the Creator. Over the ages, Bible scholars...

Gems From Genesis: Conflicting or Complimentary Accounts?

Posted on Jul 20, 2007 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

After a lecture at a university, a student told me that although he had a church background, he had become an atheist.  When I asked him why, he said that one reason was because of all the contradictions in the Bible.  I asked for an example, and he replied that there are two different creation stories, one in Genesis 1 and another in Genesis 2.  Personally, I was glad that he chose this example of a so-called contradiction, because I myself had struggled with it in the...

Gems From Genesis – Our Active God

Posted on May 20, 2007 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

In the last article, we looked at the broad sweep of the drama of creation.  Now let’s dig a little deeper and explore Genesis 1:1-2:3 in a bit more detail.  If you can, take a few minutes now to read the passage, paying special attention to what you can learn about God, from just this section. OK, ready?  Here are a few of my observations.  What more can you find? Right from the start, God is there, taking the initiative, in control.  He is “outside” of creation, separate...

Gems From Genesis – The Drama of Creation

Posted on Mar 20, 2007 in Think & Believe Newsletter | 0 comments

Like a good movie, the bible starts with intrigue – with a powerful attention-getter:  “In the beginning, God created. . . “ With this verse, we are drawn into the story – left with a sense of wonder, awe, and a desire to know more.  What was it like before creation?  Why did He create?  What was His purpose?  What motivated Him?  What did He create?  When did He do it?  How did He do it?  How long did it take?  What was it like when He finished?  For the curious child or...

Gems From Genesis 1

Genesis – the book of beginnings!  What a treasure!  There is so much hidden in these pages, yet they are too often skimmed through, overlooked, ignored, or even scoffed at in our “sophisticated” world.  But stop and think what we would be missing without the book of Genesis. In Genesis, God gives us valuable information about Himself, ourselves, and our world, that we would have no other way of knowing for sure.  In the pages of Genesis, we read about the creation of the...
