Trip to the Creation Museum

February 24, 2008

What if someone told you that you were stupid?

What if you were told that every day? What if for years, you had to listen to a barrage of insults from all around you that you were stupid? We all know what would happen. Even the smartest of people might start to have doubts and believe what they were told. Continued exposure to that could wear someone down.

Our faith can be like that. We all know that the world around us continues to mock what the Bible teaches. But after years and years of hearing the popular culture bashing the Bible, it could be easy to doubt some of the truths that the world around us doesn’t understand.

One of the Bible’s teachings that is constantly under attack is Creation; the Bible is attacked right at the very first verse. Some may say this isn’t important, but the teachings of the Creation and mankind’s fall into sin, tell us why we need a Savior.

In October, several of us took a trip to Answers in Genesis’ Creation Museum. Most of us left the church Friday night after work and drove down to Petersburg, KY. The weary travelers pulled into the hotel in the wee hours of the morning, and had to be at the museum bright and early at 8:30 the following morning. It was a short night.

The Museum is smack dab in the middle of… nowhere. It appears to be the only attraction around and was built to be pretty central in the US.

We all had a great time, kids and adults alike. It started with an amazing show in the Planetarium. The size of the universe and the power needed to create it is astounding. Yet, God created it with a single command. “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” Hebrews 11:3.

Next, we moved to displays about the Garden of Eden and how God created all of the animals (including Dinosaurs) and man. For a time, everything was perfect. Man was without sin and lived harmoniously with all of God’s creation.

Creation Museum

From there, we moved through the rest of the beginning of Genesis. We experienced representations of the fall of man into sin, the first promise of a Savior, Cain and Able, God’s judgment upon mankind with the world wide flood and God’s mercy in sparing Noah and his family, and finally, the spreading out of population through the confusion at the Tower of Babel. It was presented in a very powerful, clear and visual way.

All would be for naught without Christ coming to pay the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. At the end of the tour, we were reminded of the Gospel message of Christ’s suffering, death and resurrection.

Creation Museum

We thank God for the wonderful trip we had, the fun fellowship and the safe return. If you ever have a chance to visit the museum, I would recommend it.

A New Year In The Lord

January 29, 2008

The New Year is a great time for a fresh start, isn’t it. So we make a resolution – maybe a whole list of them. One of the reasons for making New Year’s resolutions may be to deal with last year’s mistakes. But, as we know all too well, New Year’s resolutions are so hard to keep because old habits are so hard to break!

The reason old habits are so hard to break is because so often we deal with the symptoms rather than the root problem. And the root problem is sin in our lives – it is disobedience toward the God who created us and gave us life to honor Him. Until we deal with our relationship with God, our lives will not have the richness God intended for us to experience.

The even harsher reality, though, is this: while many people have come to this same conclusion, they all have experienced only frustration and uncertainty trying to fix this problem on their own.

2,000 years ago a Jew named John – called “the Baptizer” –  pointed  people  to  One  who claimed  He  could  deal  with this harshest of human realities by Himself becoming our Substitute before God. This was Jesus that John pointed the people to; and he called Him “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” What John meant was that Jesus, the Son of God, would be everything we could never be, and do everything we could never do. So that you and I might have forgiveness and peace with God, and the power to deal with sin and its affect on our lives.
   
One suggestion for a New Year’s resolution: Get to know Jesus better through His Word, the Bible, and His people. And may you have a Happy New Year in Jesus!

“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”  John 1:29
