When God created mankind there was a strong bond between the Creator and the Created. This bond extended to the rest of the earthly creation that God had made. Man was to work with the environment to subdue it and have dominion. In other words, he was to dress and keep it. God and man walked together, they talked together, and they worked together. All of those things are contained in the first chapters of Genesis. The Creator, Man, and the environment all worked … [Read more...] about The Garden of Eden Prototype

The Truth Will Set You Free
The truth will set you free! This is a much-used phrase. You find it in Martin Luther Kingās speeches, inscribed on the headquarters wall of the CIA, and it was used in one of the most recent Marvel movie franchises.

It says that if we lack a purpose and a clear direction of where we are going, and what we are trying to get to, we are not going to get there.

Character Is All Thatās Left
Itās worth taking some time to look at what we know about the creation and what the Bible tells us about where itās going. What really is real and what is not. What is lasting and what is temporary. In the beginning God created a physical infrastructure in order to create a family in His image and likeness. That creation is 13.8 billion years old, and two of the four main forces at work are gravity and electromagnetism. Gravity is very weak and needs a lot of mass, rocks, molten iron, etc., … [Read more...] about Character Is All Thatās Left
