A Matter Of Faith

A MATTER OF FAITH

Why did the Chicken cross the road? Because it was free range.

Why did the Chicken cross the road? Because the road was too long to walk around it.

Why did the Chicken cross the road? To visit family at KFC.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

Genesis:1-5, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”

How about a?little?critical?thinking today. We are?going?to answer the age old question that has been?asked?by generation?after?generation throughout history. It is the?question?of questions concerning the?origins?of life. Creationism versus Evolution. It starts with the age-old question, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Now, how many of you would?answer?that by saying the egg came first? Raise your hands. Why the egg? Some say that because?without?the egg, there?could?be no chicken. Now, how many of you?would?say the?chicken?came first? Raise your hands. Why the chicken? Some say that because?without?the chicken, there?could?be no egg.

In today’s more liberal?schools, evolution is being taught?in Biology classes as the answer to the?origins?of life. Even some Liberals, especially since the 1960’s, have been working non-stop in an effort to discredit religious theory, history, and in particular, and the Bible. What’s worse is that they’re trying to disprove the existence of God. Atheist and Evolutionists claim that science holds the answers. It’s as if they’re claiming that if you can’t see it, it’s not real. They especially deny the existence of Jesus as implausible and the entire New Testament, too. This brings us to today’s topic, the age-old conflict about Creationism vs. Evolutionism. Creationism, meaning that all we know and are, was created by God; versus the scientific version of belief where everything known was made from one speck of dust that exploded and caused everything to grow and evolve into our earth, our lifeforms, and our universe. Because of these teachings, the attack on the Book of Genesis has become a real battleground. Hebrews 11:3, “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.”

A lot of liberal professors are openly atheistic and begin their courses by stating that “GOD IS DEAD!” One liberal professor was asked to explain why he taught?only evolution and not Creationism, too? His answer was to ask more questions such as…”You believe?in God and the Bible, right? And does that help you? Does that help you to be at?peace?with yourself? Yes? Well, I?think?that's great and I would encourage you to go on believing. I?teach?what my?textbooks?tells?me to teach. What he doesn’t tell you is that he wrote the book he’s referring to. It’s all about the money. The non-believers use tactics such as to answer questions with questions which shows that he is not willing to be on the defensive, instead, he puts himself on the offensive, which to that professor, means he is in control. Psalms 28:77, “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.”

Non-believers obviously have no?respect?for God or?anything?that we?Christians believe. The concern is that these professors are causing young minds to change their beliefs to what the teachers believe. It’s easy for teachers to?change?someone’s views, especially if they’re young. They are there to learn from this person, so they trust that what he’s teaching is truth. Liberals believe that no one is right but them. Just look at today’s youth and college aged kids. You can’t tell them anything either. They know everything already. Sound familiar? Today, you see younger people protesting on the side of some of the most abhorrent things such as abortion, and even infanticide and genocide. They think that guns are the cause of all the mass shootings, when in fact, guns don’t kill people, people kill people. It’s much worse today because most of the parents these days aren’t raising their kids as we older ones were raised, by parents with the Bible in one hand and a switch in the other.

Look at the liberal party today. If you believe differently than how they want you to believe, they’ll get in your face, get violent, and wish you to be dead all because you don’t agree with them. They’ll try to hurt you in any way they can. They want to hurt you emotionally, financially, and physically. This is what evolutionist have caused in their science of teaching. They have been the cause of schools removing God from schools and governments, and without God, there is no way to keep law and order, decency, or justice in this world.
