One of the big problems in a secular humanistic culture dominated by materialism and evolutionism is that not only does it seek to lie about biblical and creation truth, and to ridicule those who believe, but it supports a constant barrage of propaganda against the spiritual life. Yet, modern science is actually pointing more and more to the reality of spirituality!

Certainly the world, the flesh, and the devil – the three realms of evil that we must deal with in this life – want to keep people from stepping out and growing in a life of faith. And thus we are bombarded by the propaganda of evolution which seeks to shipwreck biblical faith. This is why we need to keep countering the lies with truth! And there is an overwhelming amount of evidence for the biblical record, though the world may try to sweep it away.

In Psalm 27:13 we read, “I had fainted (despaired) unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” We must remember that God is good, and He has a purpose that is thoroughly good! At Creation Moments, we rejoice in His goodness toward us. We see increasing opportunity and fruit for His Kingdom at every hand – even as we have weathered the storms of life and ministry! God has purpose and methods that are beyond our capacity to see and to understand completely. So that is why we must step out in faith first, believing that whatever need we have to understand will follow sooner or later. Biblical methodology is that faith comes first. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for those who cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6).

And if we are people who have trouble understanding God’s goodness and love toward us as His children, it should be helpful to simply say, “Okay, I believe it, and I will just rest in that biblical truth!” And then a deep understanding, that may well be inarticulate, will develop. That’s what the Bible teaches. That’s how it works.

Indeed, our faith in the trustworthiness of God’s Word is the first step in believing what the Bible says about origins. A greater understanding of biblical creation then follows as we look at the many lines of scientific support for biblical creation. Equipping believers with evidence that Jesus is both our Creator and Savior has been the mission of Creation Moments for over 60 years. With God’s blessing, it’s what we intend to keep on doing until the glorious day that Jesus returns.
