Moving Salt and Light to The Sovereign

I was writing eight blogs, so naturally, a few of them were neglected.  I’m switching all content to three bigger blogs, so this content is moving gradually to The Sovereign.  As I move the content to The Sovereign, I’ll delete it from here so Google search is more likely to go to the new site.

Lewis’ Response to Darwin

“The horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of man’s mind, which has developed from the mind of the lower animals, are of any value or at all trustworthy.  Would anyone trust the conviction of a monkey’s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind?” ~ Charles Darwin

“It is only when you are asked to believe in Reason coming from non-reason

that you must cry Halt, for if you don’t,

all thought is discredited”

~ C. S. Lewis

Darwin’s quote from a letter to W. Graham (July 3, 1881) quoted in The Autobiography of Charles Darwin and Selected Letters

C. S. Lewis quoted from his book, Miracles.

Examining Creation and Resurrection

I highly recommend this article by Dr. Henry Morris.  Dr. Morris (1918 – 2006) was a respected scientist and Biblical scholar.  I, personally, had not thought through the vital linking of Creation and Resurrection in the Bible.  Dr. Morris highlights the importance of the two events for Christians for their assurance, revival, and witness.

Enough said by me… go read the article.

The Voyage That Shook the World

Darwin published the On the Origin of Species 150 years ago.   I ran across what looks like an interesting movie which examines Darwin’s science in light of what we know today.

Noah’s Descendant: You

One of my most favorite articles, is The Sixteen Grandsons of Noah from Australia’s Creation Ministries.

I’m not writing much here so you will have more time to read the article.  For instance, find out how the Turks, Armenians, Germans, Welsh, Spanish, and French are related.

You may want to use this chart to follow Noah’s family tree.

A Snake With a Leg

When I saw an article and photo of a snake with a leg, I could not help but think of this passage in Genesis 3: 14…

“So the LORD God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals!  You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.

Oh, and in case you wonder about “snakes eating dust,” this article offers a great analysis of the passage.

The Message in the Writing

“Here’s $5.05 for your $2.02.” I handed the optician my money with a bemused smile.

“And here’s $3.03 for your $5.05,” he replied as he handed me my change.

We were both amused with how the money came out.

“Here is something for you,” I offered him 4 Laws – Discovering God in Chinese Characters. “This tells how God preserved the message of Genesis in the Chinese language.”

“Thank you!” Keith was intrigued. “My boys love Japanese. I think they will like this!”

Follow the link to this tract if you would like to order some to share with your unbelieving friends and family.  If you are interested in more information about the hidden message in ancient Chinese characters, do a search on “Chinese characters” at Answers in Genesis.
