Why Is It So Important to Be Confident in the Genesis Account of Creation?
Blog Series: Part 5 of 5
Why Should You Teach A Genesis View Of Origins?
1. It is the primary truth targeted by the enemy in our sophisticated intellectual world to undermine confidence in God’s nature and His Word (2 Corinthians 10:5).
2. Jesus recognized one single essential for belief: to be absolutely confident in the foundational writings of Moses (Luke 16:31). Remember that Moses wrote Genesis.
3. A study of created things in nature with an atmosphere of reverence for God is essential to avoid ultimate condemnation at the judgment (Romans 1:20).
4. We are assigned the responsibility to train our children to know about and praise God for the awesome works that He has made (Psalm 145:4; 66:3, 5).
5. An abundance of public information is either subtly or blatantly salted with atheistic, anti-creation approaches that deserve explanation and exposure.
6. Since one important activity of believers is to guard against deception, we must be especially diligent to teach regarding known popularly circulating lies (Colossians 2:8).
Note this well! Evolution is not only the most widely spread deception the world has ever known; it is also the MOST DAMAGING deception the modern world has ever encountered!
Evolution is the foundational secular world view for every subject of study in public education!
- It is the atheistic religion of modern scholarship!
- It is the supposedly scientific justification for the widespread, gross immorality of our age, including permissiveness, drug abuse, abortion, pornography, and all the other deviant behavior going on today.
- It is the philosophical base of every cultic religion AND every tyrannical system.
- It is generally accepted by most of the educated leadership of the recognized so-called Christian churches of the world!
- It is the foundational belief of humanism and the springboard of new age philosophy!
- But most of all…. IT IS WRONG!!
- It’s wrong because the facts of TRUE SCIENCE DISPROVE IT, but, more importantly, it’s wrong because it is DISPROVED BY THE UNCHANGING, LIVING WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD!!!
Jesus said:
“If they do not believe Moses and the prophets, neither shall they believe though one rise from the dead” (Luke 16:31).
In a generation, trained from Kindergarten through 12th grade to spurn Moses’ writings, should we be so surprised to see so little effect from the gospel?
Moses quoted God, saying:
“Six days you shall labor and do all your work…for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them…” (Exodus 20:9, 11).
The extensive material which I’ve presented in hundreds of places for thirty years in the seminars called Unlocking The Mysteries of Creation changes many lives for good. They are shocked by the facts of God concealed by those “who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Romans 1:19).
But a weekend seminar is not enough. With the constant deluge of blatant and subtle evolution propaganda, the families and children of our communities need much more. What is needed is nothing less than local teams of Christian citizens, strategically devoted to the mission of using every available means to get the knowledge to the people. To do it effectively will require God’s anointing and the most up-to-date communication skills available.
There’s a war on! The camp of the enemy is fully arrayed to continue past deceptive maneuvers and even upscale their offensive through the media and educational system. The army of God is challenged to train, to equip, to occupy, to destroy the works of the devil, and bear fruit that expands the kingdom of Jesus Christ. How sad it is that many soldiers don’t seem to act as if there’s even an enemy. Yet the devil keeps building intellectual and spiritual fortresses to guard his subjects from the liberation of truth.
SUMMARY
If we are ever going to see a change in our society for the good, we have to be prepared to think in terms of the “long haul.” We must train people to train others; serve people to serve others; and lead people to lead others! Without strategy for long-term victory, it is vain to think we can achieve any substantial fruitfulness. The only reason evolutionism has such a strangle-hold on a supposedly objective academic world is because the people of God have been asleep for so many decades. However, because God’s truth is a sharp two-edged sword, the reclaiming of young inquisitive and creative minds need not take so very long. With determination, humility, preparation, and a game plan, a major turn-around could happen within a decade. Will you be part of the answer?
Our collective ignorance is already the major part of the problem. Why not decide to make a commitment to change that situation?
MAYBE WE UNDERSTAND A LITTLE MORE CLEARLY NOW WHY DAVID’S PSALM (145:4-12) SAYS:
“One generation shall praise Thy works to another, and shall declare Thy mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of Thy majesty, and on Thy wonderful works, I will meditate. And men shall speak of the power of Thine AWESOME ACTS; and I will tell of Thy greatness… The Lord is good to all and His mercies are over all His works. All Thy works shall give thanks to Thee, O Lord, and Thy godly ones shall bless Thee. They shall speak of the glory of Thy kingdom, and talk of Thy power; to MAKE KNOWN to the sons of men THY MIGHTY ACTS, and the glory of the majesty of Thy kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Thy dominion endures throughout all generations.”
AS THE PSALMIST INVITES US:
SAY TO GOD, “HOW AWESOME ARE THY WORKS!” (Psalm 66:3)
“COME AND SEE THE WORKS OF GOD, WHO IS AWESOME IN HIS DEEDS TOWARD THE SONS OF MEN.” (Psalm 66:5)
An encouraging prophetic word:
“Thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in.” Isaiah 58:12.
