Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 3 - The "day/Age" Theory

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 24, 2023

Another theory of the creation of the universe in opposition to the record given in Genesis 1 is the "Day/Age" Theory, and like the previous two we looked at, has neither the science or Scriptural foundation to verify its claim.

We have looked at two of four "theories of creation" used to explain our origins apart from what is clearly and unapologetically presented in the first chapter of Genesis. The first theory is known as "theistic evolution", which teaches that God used evolution as part of the ...read more

Jesus Is The Light Of The World Series

Contributed by Arthur Potter on Nov 30, 2001

Fingerprints Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Mitchell Skelton on Jun 23, 2004

What about the proverbial "smoking gun?" Is there one? One we could point to and erase all doubt. Where’s the DNA, the fingerprints? Today I want us to look at the "fingerprints" that point to the validity of Jesus’ claims and his resurrection.

"The Merit Of Our Mission”

Contributed by Charles R. Swindoll on Sep 13, 2006

Biblical Text: 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 “Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the work of faith with power; that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in Him, ...read more

Four Witnesses Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 16, 2009

Who is Jesus to you? Is He just a moral teacher? Is He just a storybook character? Throughout John chapter 5, Jesus claimed to be God. And in today’s passage, He brings four witnesses to the stand to corroborate His testimony.

How many of you have ever served on a jury before? I haven’t. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but never have been able to. I’ve been summoned before—several times.

Living A Godly Life In A Godless World Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 16, 2005

Joseph was stuck as a slave, then a prisoner in Egypt. He could have claimed God had forgotten him, but Joseph remained faithful and a man of character on the inside and outside. It gives us many lessons on how to live our lives in Christ.

The story of Joseph reminds me of someone else later on in the Old Testament - Daniel. Like Joseph, Daniel was carried off to a foreign land but because of his God given talent and integrity, he was given broad trust and responsibility. Also like Joseph, that character got him enemies who sought to ...read more

What Is Fellowship? Series

Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Apr 8, 2014
