            Do you know the Creator?  Do you see His hand in nature - in everything, every little thing?    Can you stand up among the nay-sayers and know that God is the Great Creator?  King Solomon did. 

 After looking back at all of his life, all the ups and the downs, after having been the wisest man in history and debating with the best, after singing like Frank Sinatra, ‘I Did It My Way,’ Solomon came to the conclusion: “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.”

The prophet Isaiah cries out, “Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not and neither is weary.  There is no searching of His understanding.” (Isaiah 40:28)  God speaks and says: “I AM the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”  Thus saith the Lord who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters” (Isaiah 43:15-16).

Paul the apostle says to the church in Rome, Italy: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.”  (Romans 1:16-19)

How?  For the invisible things of God from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20). 

Paul is telling the church that in creation, God has put His stamp, His seal, of who He is.  And all of the world that we observe and look at, whether it is under the microscope or through binoculars, or whether we are touching or handling or tasting or seeing for ourselves, it all speaks of our Creator - even the invisible things.  That’s how alive God’s creation is.  That’s how important creationism is. 

The men who have come along and said there is no God, this world was not created but has evolved by chance mutation, these are the very ones Paul is talking about, “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

Darwin and all that would follow him are without excuse.  All the teachers and professors that still teach that garbage are without excuse. 

Then why do they continue to spread the lies and believe as they believe?  

“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darken professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”  (Romans 1:21-22)

Don’t ever be fooled when someone says, “I don’t understand; I just can’t see it.”  That’s a lie.  It’s a cover-up because God has made it plain.  God has made it clear in nature and in His word.  All you have to do is take a walk outside and you can see God’s handiwork.  All you have to do is read the Bible and you will know God’s word – you will know God.

So read your Bible.  Read it every day. 

May The Lord Jesus Christ Be Magnified!
