This Church Believes God’s Word!

Posted on Feb 2, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 1 comment

Mary Jo and I just finished doing a seminar at Grace Bible Church in Sherman, TX. The pastor of this church teaches solidly on the Biblical record of Creation, and the people are eager to increase their understanding of scientific evidence that supports the Biblical view. We enjoyed the informed and enthusiastic response, especially from the young people who are being trained to defend their faith with boldness and confidence. It is so good to be in a church like this. I...

2010 Speaking Impacts Kids and Adults

Posted on Jan 28, 2011 in Nuttings from the Front | 0 comments

2010 was a busy, “ministry-packed” year with 187 separate speaking/teaching events in 17 states (AZ, CO, CT, IL, KS, MN, MO, MT, NE, NM, OR, SD, TX, UT, WA, WI, WY) as well as internationally in India and The Netherlands. Of these 187 events, over 20 were multiple-day events of 5 to 12 days (VBS’s, camps, and extended field trip classes). Speakers reported a total of 439 speaking days (not including travel and layover days). That’s a lot of speaking for our 3 main speaking...

Wait Upon the Lord

The AOI Board met this past weekend to consider direction and set the budget for 2011. This January meeting is always vital as we seek the Lord together to discern His goals and budget for the year. We are so grateful for a Board that prays! This year, we face a very real challenge, as year-end giving was substantially down. Since we already operate on a very “lean” budget, cutting expenses by much would be detrimental to our ability to reach people with the truth of...

Freaked Out!

I just received these thoughts from a man in Texas who we have had the privilege to help train in creation. What he reports really concerns me: The Spanish pastor at my church shared with me that our denomination’s theology conference was taking place at our local church and that there was a Genesis & Science session. Without even thinking about it (and doing my due diligence), I asked for a free pass to this session and eagerly attended. It all seemed fine and...

Created by Nothing

Posted on Jan 20, 2011 in Stepaneks from the Front | 0 comments

I am writing a news article on the origin of everything, and wanted to blog on a couple of thoughts. There are basically two ideas about how everything came to be. One is that an intelligent “being” created all things. As a Christian who believes the Bible is true, I say this intelligent “being” is none other than the eternal living God of the Bible, Who has the power to do all things. The second idea is that an eternal nothing created all things. However, this idea...
