Wednesday night our men's group will continue our creation versus evolution study with Tom Croley giving lesson 3 in our series. This informative and challenging talk encourages us to be informed and to be able to articulate what we believe. Join us for a meal at 6:30 and then into our series. All are welcome to come and enjoy some good food and fellowship. 16313 n.e. Caples Road. Brush Prairie 892-7036 for directions
The Apostles spoke of the Creation account directly and indirectly. Peter warned of those who would scoff at Jesus and the bible. His description of their line of thinking (2 Pe 3:3-4) sounds a great deal like Evolution and its associated forms of naturalism like the Big Bang theory and Uniformitarianism. Jesus first of all calls us to believe (Jn 3:16). He never asked for purely blind faith and even went so far as to condemn the foolishness of blind faith (Lk 6:39). Jesus and later his Apostles used sound reasoning to teach, preach, and persuade (Ac 18:4). They also demonstrated the power in which they believed through miracles as well as personal conviction. Peter admonished believers to be ready to explain the reason for their faith (1 Pe 3:15). Paul warned believers to be ready to show yourself approved, without shame, rightly handling the scriptures (2 Tim 2:15). Not only is it clear that Genesis means what it says, we are to believe it as we believe in our Lord Jesus and we are to be prepared to explain our faith. This is not a requirement to get a Ph.D. in creation science, but it does mean we should make an effort to be informed about what it is we claim to believe.......Lance Ponders
