THE RELEVANCE OF GENESIS IN DEVELOPING A CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW
CHEC - Tuesday, November 14, 2006, at 7:00 PM
Volusia County Baptist Church, 261 S. Orange Ave. in Orange City. By Bill Clifton of Science Partners
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3
This seminar is designed for high school students through adults.
In today's culture, we live with the tension between two worldviews – one based on biblical authority and the other on secular humanism. In not-so-distant years, the evolutionary message was more inconspicuous. Today it is blatant in our schools, on television, in books and movies, in the newspapers, in local theme parks, in many churches, and basically at every turn. Evolution is assumed to be, and often stated as, "fact" by the majority of the secular world. Sadly, many Christians have been deceived by this philosophy. And worse than that – they don't even realize it!
Most of us have been affected by this war of worldviews. Our homes, schools, courts, and churches suffer from its undermining effects. In our lifetimes we have seen our society accept and even embrace things that would have horrified our parents and grandparents. How can we strengthen our own worldview and teach our children while we're being bombarded with the world' s message? The answer: with a correct understanding of biblical history and science. Our society is losing its once-prevalent Christian worldview and the foundations are crumbling. We must begin to rebuild the foundations of biblical authority in our homes by understanding that the Bible is more than a collection of moral stories to guide our lives. It is true history! And, when it speaks of science (biology, geology, astronomy, anthropology, etc.), it can be trusted. Many scientists past and present are strong creationists who believe that God created in six literal 24-hour days just like He said He did in Genesis.
But, can we really believe Genesis in our scientifically-advanced culture? What about the big bang or millions of years? Do you understand the implications of Christian compromise? Do you think it doesn't matter as long as we all just love Jesus? (Think about it – your kids will! If you can't believe Genesis, why should you believe John 3:16?) Have you been "evolutionized?" Do you need answers to defend your faith and share the Gospel in today's world? Do you need resources to help your family learn more about this important issue? Then join us on November 14 at Volusia County Baptist Church in Orange City at 7:00 PM. Creation Resources will be available for purchase.
This seminar for high school students through adults is free for participants. If you have any questions, please contact Bill or Merilee Clifton at 407-331-3427 or [email protected]. If you need to reach us on the evening of the event, please call our cell phone, 407-808-4458.
