  • Alternative Creation Theory No. 1: Theistic Evolution

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 15, 2023
     | 1,112 views

    The first theory of creation apart from Scripture teaches that God used evolution as part of the creative process. Is this a viable explanation for our origins? What does science and the Bible have to say about this idea?

    Our look at the first of the four alternative theories to the biblical account of creation begins with what I would refer to as a philosophical mix of oil and water. On the surface, this theory might sound feasible for those who worship at the altar of reason and compromise, but it falls short ...read more

  • Alternative Creation Theory No.2 - The Gap Theory

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 21, 2023
     | 1,779 views

    There are four "theories" used by some believers to explain our origins apart from the biblical account of creation. We looked at "theistic evolution". Now we will look at the "Gap Theory". Is it a legitimate alternative? We need to examine its claims.

    Four basic creation "theories" have been promoted by Christian theists over the years as alternatives to the biblical account of creation as recorded in the book of Genesis. They are theistic evolution, the gap theory, the day/age theory, and progressive creationism, each one contrived ...read more

  • Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 4 -Progressive Creationism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 25, 2023
     | 1,279 views

    This is the last of four messages on the alternatives of creation often presented to skeptics and the scientific community apart from what is described in Genesis 1. This final message deals with "progressive creationism", another example of the futility of man's "wisdom".

    We have looked at four alternative theories that some Christians use to either defend or explain to a skeptical world how everything came into being instead of what is clearly presented in Genesis 1. The world system took advantage of our withdrawal from the scientific community soon after the ...read more

    The charge of hypocrisy, of not being sincere and genuine, of not practicing what we preach, is a charge that continues to plague the church

    Once there was a pair of identical twin brothers; one was a pastor, and the other was a physician. It was almost impossible to tell the two men apart. A woman approached one of them on the street and asked, "Are you the one who preaches?" "No," came the answer, "I'm the one who practices." ...read more

    based on 91 ratings
     | 6,155 views

    The life of faith is low-profile. We minimize ourselves so that God can be magnified and glorified. Contrasts showy piety and quiet faith actions.

    Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day in Lent, the season of the church year during which we focus our attention on our devotion to God before Easter. Ash Wednesday gives us an unusual opportunity to focus on our mortality and our sin. These are not popular topics, nor issues that we like to ...read more
