VBS this week sure has been awesome. Our theme has been The Egypt File and dealing with creation. The reality is, as we learned in our theme verse Psalm 139:14, we are fearfully and wonderfully created by God!
To close VBS week, we'll be doing a VBS themed Sunday, where the kids will get to come in and sing all the songs they learned all week. It is going to be fun! Also, I get to deliver my first sermon as a part of the LifePointe family, and I am really excited. I'll be focusing on Heb 1:2, "...but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things,through whom also he created the world.", and wrap up the week with a message on Creation and why the Bible account of creation is fully trustworthy! I have really enjoyed researching and writing this message, and am almost complete. Here is a little snippet of the message:
God is relegated to a God of the Gaps
The Bible reveals God as the “a posteriori”: that is the “Prime Cause” of all things. As Christians we acknowledge that there is one God, the Father, from whom come all things; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. (1 Corinthians 8:6).
However, in theistic evolution the only place for God is that which evolution cannot “explain” or the designer working quietly, and very slowly, behind the scenes. In this way God is not the Prime Cause, He is reduced to being a god of the gaps, or a god of the “plan B’s”.
What this process does is that it undermines the trustworthiness of God’s Word. As Christians we believe that the Bible is the one and only source of truth given and inspired by God. (2 Tim 3:16)...
Hope to see many of you there Sunday!
