(Video) The Ultimate Proof of Creation.
If you’re interested to find out why the Biblical account of Creation as recorded in Genesis is the only rational and logical explanation for the existence of the universe (contrary to theories like Macro Evolution), you won’t want to miss this video presentation below. (CLICK READ MORE below to see the full post with the videos). I consider this to be, as the title proclaims, “Ultimate” proof in the sense that there is no rational argument which can contradict these facts. Bold claim? Watch the video and see for yourself. Don’t forget to share it with your friends as well! Have a comment? Feel free to leave it below in the comment section.

Evolution Series. People (not animals) created in God’s image – a look at the ‘Breath of life’ in Genesis 2:7. Why is there evil in this world?
“The LORD God formed the man from the soil of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” (Genesis 2:7)
Let’s take a closer look at this “breath of life” that God breathed in to the first human being. The NET Bible translation note for Genesis 2:7 sheds light on the original Hebrew word used for “breath” in this instance:
The Bible differentiates between the “breath of life” given to human beings and the existence given to animals.
Buried with Christ – living a new life – Romans 6:4
“Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.” (Romans 6:4)
In II Corinthians 13:5 the Apostle Paul encourages us to “examine ourselves” to see if we are truly “in the faith”.
In a world where “Christianity” is often “practiced” as a fashionable mode of operation or a regimen of rules rather than experienced as a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ, it’s so easy to get sucked in to the “normality” and various pulls of life and forget that our relationship with Jesus should result in us living a new life — a life in which our visions, goals, time and viewpoints are markedly different than the world’s “me-first” prototype.
“… we have been buried with him through baptism into death …”
Jesus was crucified (for us!) and buried in a tomb. In the same way our old life characterized by “me-first” priorities should be dead, gone and buried. (See Luke 9:23.)
Heavenly Meditations – My piano music
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
When I first arrived in Seminary (about twenty years ago) I was walking through the dormitory when I heard some beautiful piano music wafting down the corridor. I followed it’s captivating vibes until I found a Korean student, eyes closed and heart raised, simply pouring out his heart to God in simple songs of worship on the piano. I didn’t understand the words (my Korean skills are quite rusty ;) but I understood the spirit of the music — the spirit of love and adoration being poured out with every touch of the keys. I sat nearby and had a wonderful time with the Lord as he was playing.
When he finished I went over and asked if he would show me, in less than five minutes (that’s all the time I had left), how I could begin to learn to play the piano. I too wanted to pour my heart out to God through this beautiful instrument.
So he showed me how to basically make up simple chords — and with that, whenever I got the chance, I would try to play . . .
Dive – Music Video
An inspiring music video by Steven Curtis Chapman encouraging us to take a step of faith and dive in to the river of God’s Spirit and will.
“If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, ‘From within him will flow rivers of living water.’”
Give me your eyes – Music Video
A great song (music video) by Brandon Heath reminding us not to be as the horse which walks blinders — blind to the needs of others. Lord help us to walk with our eyes wide open, that He may be able to show us opportunities to be a channel of His love to others. Lord help us to “be ready whether it is convenient or not” (2 Timothy 4:2).
God is God – Video Slideshow
This is a beautiful song by Steven Curtis Chapman called “God is God” put to some beautiful nature photos.
The song is an inspiring reminder that although there are some things we don’t understand or can’t explain, God knows, and we can rest assured that all things are in His very capable hands.
Vision vs. busyness
One thing I keep getting reminded of is the importance of living with vision.
It’s so easy in this day and age to get so busy with so many things … sometimes to the neglect of what’s most important.
Have you ever stopped to identify your personal “mission statement”? Something that clearly outlines what you’re striving for in life? Without this mission statement (and a plan to implement it) there can be a tendency to simply float along in life and wonder if we’re accomplishing anything of lasting value.
Our rain and hail outreach adventure with the kids!
The kids love to accompany us when we go out discussing “the meaning of life” with people! On one such adventure it started to rain … actually, POUR! So we took cover under a little archway together with a bunch of other people! Here’s a video clip:
After about five minutes, the water level started to rise and we started to wonder whether we should build an “ark” or not! :)
Connecting with God – The altar and the incense
I was just reading the Bible with Kaden (my six year old son) in Exodus chapter 30 where God explains how the alter for burning incense was to be built. It struck me how God’s instructions concerning this altar and the incense parallels our spiritual walk and offers insight for walking in fellowship with Him.
This altar was located just outside the Holy of Holies (where God would manifest His presence) and was separated only by a thick curtain. The incense to be burned on this altar was a specific mixture set forth by God Himself…
Aggie: A girl without a country
The following true account is taken from the book Aggie: A Girl Without a Country, previously published under the title One Witness, written by Aggie Hurst and published just after her death in 1981. It’s an example of how being a faithful witness and doing what God has shown you to do can have tremendous impact, even when it doesn’t seem that way at first.
Back in 1921, a missionary couple named David and Svea Flood went with their two-year-old son from Sweden to the heart of Africa—to what was then called the Belgian Congo. They met up with another young Scandinavian couple, the Ericksons, and the four of them sought God for direction. In those days of much devotion and sacrifice, they felt led of the Lord to set out from the main mission station and take the Gospel to a remote area.
How to begin a relationship with God. Spiritual life and growth in a nutshell.
In a world with a bazillion philosophies, religions and “roads” to purported “enlightenment”, one may wonder if it’s possible to truly distinguish if there is indeed just one “right” path to God; or for that matter, whether God even exists.
As far as the “bazillions” of philosophies, religions and “roads” to God purported today … they can really be narrowed down to TWO.
Girl in the train … and the tram …
Have you ever had the feeling the Lord really wanted you to speak with someone, yet the situation was such that people were all around and it would seem quite awkward to take the plunge? Such was the situation as we were on the train coming home.
There we were, the whole crew sitting in the train, (Anya, myself, Kaden, Ashley and Jessica) almost arriving at our final destination — but then I noticed a girl nearby, perhaps about 23 years old. She was trying to fight back tears yet not succeeding.
Children – Generate happiness by saying yes
If you’re like many parents you might find yourself saying “no” to your children quite often. Now there are definitely good reasons to say no — especially when what they’re asking is not in line with deeper-level guidelines which are important in life.
However, there are quite a lot of requests and desires that don’t seem to carry “meaning of life” level ramifications.
My five-year-old daughter, Ashley, really gets attached to little creatures. She’s got such a mothering and tender heart, and recently she just loves to mother . . . snails.
Am I a good Christ?
By Francis Chan, Catalyst
I think it’s time we stop asking ourselves the question: “Am I a good Christian?” We live in a time when the term “Christian” has been so diluted that millions of immoral but nice people genuinely consider themselves “good Christians.” We have reduced the idea of a good Christian to someone who believes in Jesus, loves his or her family, and attends church regularly.
Others will label you a good Christian even though your life has no semblance of likeness to the way Christ spent His days on earth. Perhaps we should start asking the question: “Am I a good Christ?” In other words, do I look anything like Jesus? This question never even entered my mind until a friend of mine made a passing comment to me one day.
Business Secrets of the Trappists
This article depicts the success of the monks at a Trappist’s Monastery in South Carolina and gives us a peek in to the contributing factors of their successful monastery as well as their business ventures within their local community.
What makes it interesting are the foundational principles the author brings out which can be applied to our lives. If you have time to read it I think you’ll find it, as I did, chock full of lessons and quite inspiring. Whether you’re interested in spiritual principles or business tips (or both), I think you’ll find some “secrets of success” in here.
Interview with God (Video)
A beautiful video presentation of an interview with God. Enjoy the interview together with some beautiful music and scenes from nature.
The Essence
What are the top three things that matter most to you? Are these receiving the care, emphasis and time you want to give them? Have you experienced the unsettling feeling that comes when you don’t? Beyond meeting physical needs, what’s your goal and vision for life? Perhaps you’d like to be on a path of deeper meaning and significance but just can’t seem to find it or even imagine how you’d find the time to live it even if you did?
