In my last post in January I asked if the christian needs to speak out against evolution. This Sunday I was planned for a little country chapel where they have three youngsters. Since my youth we have all been continually brain washed by both the education system and the television into thinking that evolution is a proven fact. If you only use your own brain to think things through it becomes apparent that this is not the case. It is just another faith that the atheists cling to because they dare not countenance the idea that God exists and will hold them accountable. I challenged the idea that things can happen by chance by discussing pigeons bred by pigeon fanciers, such as tumblers and pouters. If you look in Trafalgar Square you will see none of these special birds but just common or garden pigeons. The special breeds need the interference of a human. Darwin seemed not to cotton on to this fact in his "On the Origin of Species." So what Bible passage did I speak from? 1 Corinthians 1: 17 - 31. I pointed out that the Greeks(or Gentiles) thought that the cross of Jesus was foolishness, but for those of us who believe, it is the power of God for our salvation. I likened the Gentiles to the atheists who think we christians are fools for our trust in Jesus. Our understanding of our salvation goes back to our belief in the creation account given in Genesis, where we find we are created by God and answerable to Him. We find Adam and Eve rebelled against their Creator but that God although punishing them and sending them out of the Garden of Eden also promised that a Saviour would come to provide a way back to God. If we lose the Genesis account we will have no basis for our beliefs in the New Testament account. Genesis is the foundation for the christian faith.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
