NOW THAT I AM OLD! 2/23/09

"Now that I am old and gray....give me the time to tell this new generation (and their children too) about all your mighty miracles"; Psalm 71:18.

Remember learning about the old one room school house where reading, writing and arithmetic was taught? The teacher could speak on all subjects! I have discovered that our one room school master who can speak on every subject ever thought about, is God’s Word. This school master speaks of things of old and even speaks of the things of today. Of course I am speaking of things that are important; that have merit; things we need to know about.

Mr. Darwin thought he knew more and devised a plan that is referred to today as "The Theory of Evolution". Others clearly believe that "The Big Bang Theory" is evident that the worlds came into being through compacted gases. No matter how clearly defined through practical evidence’s that creation came through intelligent design as man wants to call it; man still thinks he knows more.

Jim has been a student of ‘creation v evolution’ and has taught these contrasts in many Sunday Schools and evening services. The more he has studied and the more he has talked about it, the more he is convinced that God’s Word’s found in Genesis and in the book of Job and in scientific fact, confirms God’s creation.

Recently my Son Dan and his Son Adam watched a Nova production on PBS regarding a court case taking place is a small remote town that was wanting to have creation taught in their schools along with evolution. As you know all schools can teach evolution but cannot teach creation, even though it is not a theory but fact. Those who were brought in to speak on behalf of creation had passion but were inept when called upon to speak. Those who were brought in to speak on behalf of the theory of evolution not only had passion but spoke qualitatively. You already know the outcome since this took place in 1995. Creation still cannot be taught in public schools and the theory of evolution is again embraced.

"Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse"; Romans 1:20. I find it interesting that anyone can look around themselves and see the majesty of nature and the various elements that sustain us and think it evolved over many years, or perhaps still evolving.. The Bible says we are not to call anyone fools or stupid but sometimes I find it hard to control myself.

"For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened"; "Claiming to be wise, they became fools"; Romans 1:21-22. Men, thinking they are wise, do their best to confound the many by using words and scare tactics so people will listen. Those who do, will buy their books and become afraid and begin to mentally prepare themselves for global warming. Afraid the various animals on the planet will become extinct, like the Polar Bears. The list is long on the things we must be afraid of. Jim started making the list just by listening to the news beginning in the early 1990's; sheets and sheets.

"How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God"? Hebrews 10:29a "For we know Him who said, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, and again, The Lord will Judge His People". Hebrews 10:30 . Who should we listen to? What should we fear? "And again, I will put my trust in Him"! Hebrews 2:13 Listen to those who speak of Godly things; for the world is to be pitied! By Jane Ann Crenshaw 2/16/09
