Have you ever wondered about the mysteries of life, whether
there is a God or not and if there isn't a God then what is the meaning, the purpose for your very existence? How did we humans
come to be? How did the universe come into existence from nothing? Did the Big Bang happen out of sheer nothingness that created
little molecules and atoms or did the molecules and atoms exist before the Big Bang and if so, from where did they originate?
And thus began a chain of events now widely taught, as if it is gospel, that man evolved from an ape?
Why did this
evolution process end at man and not continue into something, say half human and half something else? And if man evolved from
a single cell, for what purpose did he come into existence? Is it so that he can live and enjoy this present life and work
for the riches of this world, only to perish after three score and ten years of his life, to be reduced to nothing but a handful
of dust and ashes? To have all that he worked, lived and believed in and died for, to perish after him?
And if there
is a God, and I know there is, does that make the answer to life's mysteries easier? Easier to accept - easier to believe?
You be the judge...
Maybe you are an agnostic. You believe that there is a God but it is impossible to know Him. Hey,
you would be right except for one thing. An almighty, all knowing, ever present God has the capacity to reveal Himself (His
Nature and Character) and communicate His will to His creatures. If He couldn't then He wouldn't be Almighty, would He? So
that theory is just that - a theory. God reveals Himself in endless ways. Through His creation, through His Word, through
inspiration, through His people. God has and does speak to us, through His prophets. He speaks through them - even in the
first person.
"Thus says the LORD: Let not the wise man glory [boast] in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory
[boast] in his might, nor let the rich man glory [boast] in his riches; but let him who glories [boasts], glory [boast] in
this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight, says the LORD," (Jer. 10:23-24). Yes! He actually speaks and according to Him, it is not only possible
to know Him, but to understand Him as well. So you and I would be without excuse when we come face to face with Him, as we
inevitably must. If you do not know and understand the LORD, something is amiss.
There is only one written account
in existence that tells us where we came from. How we were made, why we are here, how we are supposed to live, why we do not
live the way we ought to, how we can live the way we should, where we are going and what will happen at the end of it all.
From beginning to end. It is NOT a mystery, to the one who believes but to the one who doubts, it is foolishness. "For the
message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God," (1
Cor. 1:18). Which one are you?
The Bible answers the question about evolution, the beginning of time, the creation
of the universe and the existence of a God in one single and very simple sentence. The Book opens with this very simple sentence,
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth," (Genesis 1:1). Very simplistic, isn't it? So simple, even a child
can understand. Yet the intellectual skeptic cannot understand. No, he is too smart, too educated, too sophisticated, too
blinded by his own wisdom. For it is written: "I (God speaking in the first person) will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and
bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."
What God says He will do, He does and does it so effectively that
the sophisticated and blinded fool has remained so throughout the history of mankind. The Bible does not try to convince anyone
that it is telling the truth, nor does it force anyone to believe what it says. It simply tells it like it is. It gives the
facts and leaves you and me to deal with it. The Bible makes no excuses or apologies for what it says, it simple tells it
like it is and the uncomfortable reader is left to grapple with the reality of the information. Many, many people have walked
away even more confused than when they began to read that Book. Still, many, many people have read it and understood it and
believed it and their lives have never been the same again.
This site is just a crude attempt to tell anyone who is
willing to listen, that there is a God and that He does communicate with His creatures. That He has a Plan and a Purpose,
and that no one or nothing will thwart His Plan and His Purpose.
May it spur you on to KNOW Him by faith.
