Marilyn shared in her blog, “But God You Promised,” about a new camper God has blessed us with through the generous giving of a supporting family. The newer camper (1997) is replacing an older (1986) motorhome we have used for many years of travelling in this ministry. However – age, wear, and lack of fuel economy have made the motorhome unaffordable to travel with on long tours. Earlier last year, we were able to buy a used diesel pickup with the pulling...
Read MoreBUT GOD YOU PROMISED!
Isaac was 40 years old when he married Rebekah. Grandpa Abraham had been promised many offspring, but after several years of marriage, Rebecca had still not conceived. I imagine that Isaac was saying, “But God you promised!” He probably wondered if he should have married sooner or have had more faith. Who knows his doubts? Gen. 25:21 says Isaac pleaded with the Lord and Rebekah conceived. Prayer answered … smooth sailing … NOT! Verse 22 says the twin babies...
Read MoreYou Shall Know the Truth
Several years ago, I heard an atheistic, evolutionary university professor comment, “I wouldn’t know truth if it stared me in the face.” Unfortunately, that statement was probably more “true” for him than he realized. It seems that today there is a real “famine” of truth in our society. We are continually bombarded with “information,” but how much of it is real, solid truth? Outright deception and lies abound. In addition, bits and pieces of “truth” are mixed with opinion,...
Read MoreCreation Centers
On the way back from our speaking trip in Texas, Mary Jo & I had the pleasure of stopping by two Creation centers. The Discovery Center in Abilene is run by Tommy and Caroline Walden. They are very energetic people with a real passion for creation. A popular exhibit is their talking robot. The Center has some fossils and various creation displays. An exhibit they are developing features material donated relating to the Titanic. Their message will be comparing it to...
Read More“I Wish I Had Heard”
Last night I was able to share with a group of adults about the Origin of Man. This talk takes a look at the lack of evidence, mistakes, and misinterpretations regarding the evolutionary origins of man. I was also able to share a brief look at the problems with the dating methods being used today. After the talk, one young man approached me and said, “I sure wish I had heard this information before I went to college!” He shared that he had a degree in...
Read MoreThe Amazing Platypus
When specimens of the duckbill platypus were first sent to England in the late 1700’s, many English scientists thought it was a fraud. It plainly didn’t fit well in any of the categories of animals known at that time. Was it a bird, a reptile, a mammal or a combination of all of these? The platypus is an extremely interesting creature. It has fur like a mammal but it lays soft, leathery eggs like a reptile. Usually 1-3 eggs are laid in a nest built by the mother...
Read MoreNot In Our School!
Several weeks ago, I was invited to speak to a group of Fellowship of Christian Athletes at a charter Middle/High school. Because FCA is considered a club, we were able to meet in the classroom of a Christian teacher before school started. One of the student leaders had repeatedly requested admission for me to teach in the school, but her request was denied by the school administration. We have seen this happen a lot in the past. The excuse that is almost always given is...
Read MoreIce Storms and Travel
With all of the travel we do for speaking, we are extremely grateful for safety on the road. Sometimes we are even more grateful. The other day we woke up to snow on the ground with blowing snow and ice freezing our car doors shut and road conditions which closed the schools. As much as we would have liked to huddle inside our host’s nicely warmed home and sip on hot tea, there loomed ahead a pressing need to brave the storm and travel to the next speaking location. The...
Read MoreHow Firm a Foundation
The words of the old hymn, How Firm a Foundation, have been running through my mind today. What a message to meditate on! How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word! What more can He say than to you He hath said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? This firm foundation begins way back in the beginning in Genesis 1. “In the beginning, God …” What a comfort it is to know that God was there in the beginning … and He will be...
Read MoreNeeding a Liver
Recently, a pastor friend of ours was very ill for over a year because of a very diseased liver, and desperately in need of a liver transplant. On the waiting list with him was a 2 year old baby, also critically in need of a liver. Who would get the next available liver depended on whoever was compatible. A liver finally became available through the death of a 16 year old boy. A lady, keeping us up to date on the pastor, shared, “We have such an awesome God! ...
Read MoreAnts and Antifreeze
Pun intended, but ants really do produce antifreeze, too! Yep, it gets cold out there in the ground under a blanket of snow. Since the ants don’t have their own central heating systems, they need to have a way to keep from freezing during the winter. So the colder it gets, the more antifreeze is actually produced. Did this ability happen by chance over millions of years by mutation and natural selection as our evolutionist friends would claim? Scientists have long...
Read MoreThis Church Believes God’s Word!
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...
