Ixtheus Christian Devotionals

BACK TO SCHOOL (Yikes !!)
As christian parents, each of us tries to bring up our children in the 
"nuture and admonition of the Lord" . The very first concept taught in the Bible, and one we want to pass on to our children is... 

"In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen 1:1) 

One of my great frustrations is that having taught this timeless and precious
truth to my children, the public schools come along and try to "unteach" 
this treasure as being myth and foolishness, and substitute the actual myth and foolishness of origins by evolution. Even in kindergarten, and also all the way up through all the public educational system, they try to indoctrinate God and creation out of our children's belief system.
And what do they offer as a "scientific" alternative to Creation and preservation by a loving God? Mindless evolution  by cosmic accidents and billions of years of random chance processes; teaching them that we are nothing more than glorified animals having evolved from primordial slime in the far distant past,  having no moral compass and now also that there are no absolutes of morality or anything else...is it any wonder that we are raising a generation of demoralized and suicidal misfits with no reason for living?

This is so unfair, and yet it is part of the 
worldly society in which we find ourselves. We expect our children to become "educated" and get the skills they will need to succeed in our complex technological society...instead they are being turned into dumbed-down wanderers, adrift in a meaningless universe of atheism and humanism.

So what is the importance of Creation Science in all of this? Creation science takes us back to a belief in the world-view which God has revealed in Genesis. If we got here by random chance, and there is no need to believe in the God of the Bible, then the remainder of the Bible is largely irrelavent. They present "scientific evidence" and theories to prove their ideas, but upon closer examination of the real scientific evidence, it turns out that the science actually proves that we must have had a creator, because what is here is too complex to have just happened by random chance processes. It is into this place that Creation Science comes to show the "real science" which actually proves the need for an intelligent creator, and that this Creator is God.

So as we send our children back into the lions' den for another year, 
here is a little help from some excellent sources on Creation Science, that our kids can perhaps use to counter the false claims of evolutionists, and to show that God is indeed the Great Scientist...The Creator of All That Is, and that you dont have to check your brain in at the door when you become a christian.

As it says in Luke 19:37-40 (KJV) ...
And when he was come nigh, 
even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, 
the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice 
and praise God with a loud voice 
for all the mighty works that they had seen; {38} Saying, 

Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: 
peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 

{39} And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him,
 Master, rebuke thy disciples.
 {40} And he answered and said unto them, 
I tell you that, if these should hold their peace,
 the stones would immediately cry out.

Well, in a very literal way, the stones all over the world do cry out
to give glory to God. They tell of His creation and the flood He sent to destroy it. This record is preserved forever in the world-wide presence of layered rocks, called "sedimentary rocks"..even at the tops of the highest mountains on earth. By the way, the definition of sedimentary rocks is  "rocks that were formd by the laying down and subsequent drying out of water-borne minerals, and exist in strata(layers)".
I like the description of these rocks given by Ken Hamm in one of his lectures on Creationism. He says that if you study the rocks of the earth you will find  "millions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the world". And he goes on to say, "Isnt this what you would expect from a world-wide flood as described in Genesis?" Of course, it is.

And these websites will help you understand what the stones and many other natural scientific phenomena are crying out tell us, as a fallen world tries to deceive itself that God does not exist.

God Bless you as you study His Word, and allow the Holy Spirit to re-teach you the truths which are presented in the Book of Genesis.
