Proclaiming the Gospel with Evidence to All Peoples Everywhere
There are many evidences, but I will identify three here.
First, God left his fingerprints in nature. This was discussed under intelligent design and irreducible complexity. Specified information systems like the DNA molecule, order and predictable laws in nature are only possible as a result of intelligence and not chance. So the evidence in nature points to the existence of an intelligent being, but doesn’t reveal his identity or name (see Romans 1:18-20). [Read more…]

Suicide. It’s something most of us would rather not talk about. For some, it is too personal and painful to discuss.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in the U.S. alone, there were 45,000 suicides in 2016 compared to 17,000 murders and 38,000 automobile deaths. In addition, there were 25 suicide attempts for every completed one. It is astounding to realize that someone attempts to end their life every 28 seconds in the U.S.! What is going on? [Read more…]

I was returning to the Seattle airport from a weekend of ministry when the pastor of the church I had just left called and said my wife was desperately trying to get in touch with me. I called and heard her sobbing. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “Steve’s dead!” was her heartbreaking response.
It was a message no parent ever wants to hear. I was speechless in disbelief. Steve is the younger of our two sons: he was forty-four years old, with a wife, Sandy, and three sons of his own. Longer story short, Steve drowned while successfully rescuing his middle son, Benjamin, from certain death in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of northern California. [Read more…]
In a word, I was indoctrinated. My high school, college, and graduate school education was all based in evolutionary texts and teachers. Some of them were good people and good teachers, but they too were products of indoctrination. Public science education, museums, national parks, children’s cartoons, movies, and books all join together to present to everyone today that macroevolution is scientifically proven. I felt I had no choice. [Read more…]
Human dignity and worth are lost if we are merely products of chance and evolved from apes. We are cosmic accidents and do not know why we are here.
In contrast, we have dignity and great value if we are specially and purposely created by a personal God in His image and likeness. Furthermore, the fact that there is final accountability to our Creator means our lives (thoughts, actions) have meaning and are significant.
Finally, there is ultimate justice (righteousness will be rewarded, evil will be punished) and our destiny is not a mystery—there is life after death.
The Bible is clear that becoming a Christian (salvation) is a gift based solely on faith in the person of Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins and rose again to conquer death (Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 John 5:11-13). A particular view of origins is not a condition for becoming or being a Christian. (See “Becoming New in Christ.”)
In my presentation “Why I Believe… in Creation,” (available on our YouTube® channel) I made it clear that microevolution (adaptation) of organisms is observable in nature and not in conflict with Christian faith or the Bible. Indeed, it gives credit to a God who creates with intelligence and wisdom. [Read more…]
