CREATION DECLARES GOD

Look at that beautiful butterfly and learn from it to trust in God.  One might wonder where it could live in tempestuous nights, in the whirlwind, or in the stormy day; but I have noticed it is safe and dry under the broad leaf while rivers have been flooded and the mountain oaks torn up from their roots. -J. Taylor

Psalm 19:1, The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

I have friends that have gone out west, to the Caribbean, to the beach, and other grand views of God’s wonderful creation this summer. They share their pictures of the beautiful views that only God could create. However, many of them never give the Lord the credit He is due. They say things like, “Mother Earth has blessed us with good weather.”, “Views from Mother Nature.”, or “Evolution has provided you with another WOW moment.”  

Friend, that makes me sick to my stomach! To think someone has that much faith in science and not an omniscient, omnipotent God is nauseating. When I look around and see, what I see is God’s handiwork! It’s God’s creativity! It’s God’s amazing creation He has blessed us with. What I see is God in all of it! What do you see?

NO EXCUSE

It is easy enough to excuse yourself to hell, but you cannot excuse yourself to heaven. -D.L. Moody

Romans 1:20, For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Have you seen a rainbow lately? Recently, my wife and I, were coming back from visiting a church member who is in the hospital and it had been raining. We were able to see multiple rainbows on the way back. One was a complete half circle!

That rainbow, the rain, the sun shining through the clouds, and beautiful fields of corn reminded me of God’s creation. It also reminded me of those who will one day stand before God without excuse as to why they did not repent and confess Him as Lord and Saviour.

Friend, if you’re not saved, there is no excuse for you not to be. There are all kinds of evidence that God is real! Stop for a minute, look around you, and see God’s marvelous creation!

EX NIHILO

If the Father deigns to touch with divine power the cold and pulseless heart of the buried acorn and to make it burst forth from its prison walls, will He leave neglected in the earth the soul of man-made in the image of his Creator? --William Jennings Bryan

Romans 1:20, For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

The word, Ex nihilo, simply means; out of nothing. God made everything out of nothing. There was no matter. There were no gases. There were no liquids. There was no plasma. There was nothing but God and He created the heavens and the earth out of nothing. He created the seas, oceans, land, plants, animals, bugs, humans, and well… He created everything out of nothing! Pretty amazing isn’t it!

Where do you believe you came from? What if you’re wrong? Think about it this morning!

GOD MADE IT!

Not only has God made everything, He keeps it from falling apart too!

Colossians 1:16-17, For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

            Could you imagine if there was no gravity? Could you imagine if the wind were to stop blowing- permanently? Could you imagine if your heart just stopped beating? You see friend, none of those things I just mentioned are in your control. But that’s not all; there are hundreds, maybe thousands or millions of other things that is beyond human control! Will we may be able to defy gravity, manipulate the wind, or even create an artificial but God is the ultimate creator because He creates out of nothing and He controls it all with the power in His hand!   

Doesn’t that just bless your heart friend? God knows what make your problems tick and He has the cure for them! No matter what your problem is—God has the answer to it.

JUST LOOK AT WHAT GOD CREATED

God created; the sun, moon, and the stars, the grass, the flowers, and the trees, the creeks, rivers, and oceans, the birds, the fish, the rhino, and all of mankind all over this planet. From the smallest amino acid to the complex human body, God has formed everything upon this earth for our good and His glory.

The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. Psalm 95:5-6

As we learn more about the planet we live on, the more I am amazed at our Creator. From the complexity of laminin to the human eye, it is amazing to me how anyone with a rational mind can deny there is a Creator. But I think we find one reason why right here in Scripture where it says, “O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our maker.” Some do not want to humble themselves to the Lord.

Whether you do it now or later, one day we will all bow before Him. The difference in when you do it will determine where you will spend eternity. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Romans 14:11

CREATION OR EVOLUTION

One should look at creation seeing The Architect, The Designer, and The Creator!

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Romans 1:25

Many in our world have twisted the truth of creation into a lie. The lie is “Evolution”. The Evolution theory in a nut shell is “Everything came from nothing and will return to nothing.” With this type of belief, comes many repercussions in which we are reaping right now in this world. When a society proclaims there is no God, that He did not create us, that we came from nothing, turned into something, and then evolving into an animal which would one day become a human, it will not be long before that society begins acting like animals; animals that kill its own, animals that change the natural use of what it was created for (procreation) into something unnatural, animals that worship themselves instead of The Creator.

Have you believed this lie of Evolution? The outlook of life for an Evolutionist is pretty dim; death and decay! But with a Creationist, with Jesus as Saviour; Life and Life eternal!

Man—God’s Masterful Creation

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Psalm 8:3-4

Think about it for a moment, if evolution were true which part of blood decided to function first, the plasma, the red blood cells, the white blood cells, or the platelets? Each one has a different responsibility than the others but yet without one or the other we would be at risk of dying; Red blood cells—transport oxygen, white blood cells—protect against disease, platelets— help the blood to clot, and the plasma—helps maintain blood pressure and regulates body temperature. So which one was it? Which was created first? And what decided we needed the other?

Ah, another hole in an evolutionist theory. Folks, God created man and in doing so we are His creation. He created us not as robots but with a free will; a free will to think, a free will do decide, a free will to believe or not. In doing so He has given us the responsibility to respond to the Gospel call. What is the Gospel call you may say…”That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9”

What will you do with the truth of creation?
