Today's Daily Devotional:

Creation

By Rev. Don Schink, (C) 2007

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." - Genesis 1:1 [NIV]

God said it! He did it! His Word has stood the test of time. The truth about Creation is often criticized. Yet the facts about Creation are clearly revealed in the Bible and have never, ever been disproved. The facts are clearly and precisely given in one single chapter, Genesis, chapter one.

The secular teaching of evolution, claiming that everything has evolved, such as humans evolving from apes, for example, is a theory. As hard as some have tried to do so, evolution has never been proved to be fact. It's simply not. Yet, in secular education, it is often taught to our young people, - unknowing, unsuspecting - as if it were actually true. It's not. Period.

I grew up in an era where prayer and Bible reading were a natural part of school. We knew that, even though not all of our country's founding fathers were Christians, nor were all of our teachers Christians, yet many were. We knew that Christianity was viewed as of utmost importance and our nation was founded on these important teachings of the Bible. As long as we, as a nation, have been willing to follow and abide by the principles of true Christianity, our nation prospered, even at times of war and other peril. God's loving protection seemed to be evident on our nation.

Since the more liberal in our society have been able to infiltrate our society, their campaigns against Christianity have sadly, yet successfully, been responsible for removing prayer and the Bible from our public schools and other government institutions, etc. As such, many of our young people are growing up ignorant of the truth of God, His Word, of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, etc. Sin and lawlessness have greatly increased. As such, our nation is clearly paying the price for crowding God out of His rightful place. Being the gentleman that He is, He does not go where He is not invited. If any nation chooses to turn their backs on Him, there is clearly a price to be paid.

So evolution and other such foolish theories are now taught and accepted by a lesser-enlightened society as truth, when they are false teachings. They are actually deception, out of the pit of hell. How do you and I know that? It's in the Bible. The Bible has stood the test of time. Yes, the truth of Creation, and so many more precious truths that are crucial for our eternal welfare and survival as a nation, survival as a people, are in the Bible. We need to prayerfully read our Bibles daily for real truth to be revealed and properly applied in our hearts and lives. It is only then that we see truth as truth and falsehood for what it truly is.

As I pray today:

  1. What does the Bible say?
  2. What does the Bible say to me?
  3. What am I going to do about it? (Personal application and commitment)
