We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Master those books you have. Read them thoroughly. Bathe in them until they saturate you. Read and reread them, masticate and digest them. Let them go into your very self. Peruse a good book several times and make notes and analyses of it. A student will find that his mental constitution is more affected by one book thoroughly mastered than by twenty books he has merely skimmed. Little learning and much pride comes from hasty reading. Some men are disabled from thinking by their putting meditation away for the sake of much reading. In reading let your motto be “much not many.”
C.H. Spurgeon

Salvation is from our side a choice; from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our “accepting” and “willing” are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.

    CREATION #2

    d life forms were created directly by God. The evolutionist ideas dealing with the creation of the universe (Big Bang, Steady State) do not answer the questions of 1st cause.

    2.1. Summary of creation (Gen 1.1). 2.1.1. Beginning – God started time 2.1.2. Heavens – God created space 2.1.3. Earth – God created matter 2.2. God created light (Gen 1.3-5). 2.2.1. In our experience matter and energy are constant. 2.3. God created the canopy, atmosphere and hydrosphere (Gen 1.6-8). 2.3.1. The canopy controlled climate and radiation. 2.4. God created land and plants (Gen 1.9-13). 2.5. God created the sun, moon, planets, and stars (Gen 1.14- 19). 2.6. God created water life and birds (Gen 1.20-23). 2.7. God created animals including man and woman (Gen 1.24- 31). Man and woman are detailed in Gen 2.5-22. 2.8. One day was 24 hours (2 Pet 3). The diagram below shows the seven days of creation. 3. Theories of origin. 3.1. The most popular evolutionist ideas are the Big Bang and Steady State. 3.2. The “Big Bang” is defined as an explosion of all the matter and energy in the universe 10 billion years ago. 3.2.1. Very popular, but no evidence. 3.2.2. Contradicts entropy. 3.2.3. System like earth requires two explosions. 3.3. The steady state idea is a gradual buildup through

    gravitational attraction upon moving particles. This requires eternal matter. This is the only alternative to the Big Bang. This idea is kept around for scientists to fall back on when Big Bang predictions turn out backwards.

    4. Noah’s flood. God unleashed forces upon the crust of the earth during the great flood resulted in the geologic features and processes we see today.

    4.1. Chronology of the flood.

    4.1.1. God warned Noah (Gen 6.13). 4.1.2. 120 years to build the ark, gather animals (Gen 6.3-22). 4.1.3. 7 day warning – load the ark (Gen 7.4-10). 4.1.4. Flood starts: Fountains of deep open, floodgates of sky open, rain falls (Gen 7.11-12). 4.1.5. Waters rise for 40 days (Gen 7.17). 4.1.6. Mountains covered (Gen 7.20). 4.1.7. Air breathers die (Gen 21-22). 4.1.8. Flood level maintained 110 more days (Gen 7.24, 8.3). 4.1.9. Waters begin to subside 150 days after start. Wind passes over the earth, fountains of the deep close, flood gates of the sky close, rain is restrained (Gen 8.1- 3). 4.1.10. Ark rests on Ararat (Gen 8.4).
