Total Surrender
I have been thinking quite a bit lately about the term “surrender.” In the weeks leading up to surgery, the word took on a whole new meaning. Suddenly, so many things were out of my control. It sometimes takes a real attitude adjustment, to release OUR control to others, even to God. I heard a sermon during this same time period, reminding me that I cannot question God’s path because it is different than my agenda; even when that path includes cancer. I MUST...
Read More“Keep on Keeping on”
There is one specific New Year’s resolution that I have had for many years. It can be summed up by the words of encouragement to Mary Jo and I from a person who was deeply impacted by the creation message. She wrote, “Keep on keeping on!” Since that note almost 25 years ago, that encouragement has been on our lips and now is also on the lips of other staff at AOI. The battle for the hearts and minds of our young people is huge and it is not going away any time soon....
Read MoreOcean Sediments and Salts: What do they really tell us? Creation Perspective
Creation Answer: “Every year water and wind erode about 20 billion tons of dirt and rock debris from the continents and deposit them on the seafloor,” so “the seafloor should be choked with sediment many miles deep.” On average, there is only about 1,300 feet of sediment, which is not even close to a mile deep. Sediment is known to be lost due to tectonic plate activity, but with everything taken into account, that 1,300 feet of sediment would take 12 million years...
Read MoreOcean Sediments and Salts: What do they really tell us? Naturalistic/Evolutionary Perspective
Introduction: The ocean is salty and full of sediments. How salty is the ocean? How much sediment is in the oceans? Is this evidence that the earth is only thousands and not millions of years old? Why is the ocean salty? Does the saltiness of the ocean fluctuate? Naturalistic/Evolutionary Answer: There is not as much sediments in the ocean, as some expect, because seafloor sediments have accumulated at a much slower rate in the past and high levels of tectonic...
Read MoreWho’s Fault is it? A response…
I received a comment on a recent blog (Who’s fault is it?), and so I wanted to respond on today’s blog. Comment: Do you think that it’s possible that God sometimes inflicts suffering to instruct us? Hear me out. The curse of the ground was to bring thorns into the work of man, to remind him that he’s the cause of his own suffering. And the animal sacrifices instituted by God in the beginning: they cost us something. It’s a little pain to show that we...
