Creative Design: God’s Creative Signature

G. Thomas Sharp • February 22, 2019

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been His counsellor? Or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen. – Romans 11:33-36, KJV

The uniqueness and wonder of life shrouded is breathtaking as it is by nature’s ineffable mysteries, and it has baffled man for time immemorial. The full complement of earth’s priceless features are essential to our existence, but their existence is unexplainable without a Creator!

For example, the enzyme/substrate receptor site is among these wonders. The automatic interface between enzymes and their unique receptor sites, is, to say the least, extremely mindboggling. And it must be kept in mind that without their existence life is impossible! It is these obvious relationships, too many and too complex to be explained by blind chance and accident, that has caused many to believe in an organized, highly intelligent transcendence.

It was the prophet Isaiah that confirmed this idea when He told us that God’s thoughts “…are not our thoughts, neither are our ways His ways … For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9) And without the fact of Creation, evangelistic gospel preaching has no foundation or justification because it was the Creator God that satisfied the price of our redemption. He came to die!

This explains Apostle Paul’s remarks to the people at Mars’ hill: “For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, seeing He gives to all life and breath and all things; and has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on the face of the earth, has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation …And the times of this ignorance God winked at: but now commands all men everywhere to repent: because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world…” (Acts17:23-31)

Summer of 2025 is two-thirds finished. We have taught at 7 different camp weeks along with 6 VBSes. Ryan and I have had a busy summer for the Kingdom. Our travels have stretched from Ohio to Colorado and all points in between. We have taught in churches and connected with many supporters and friends. This summer, as usual, ministry has taken us away from family for periods, but there has been great returns for the sacrifice - more than fifteen souls have been added to God’s eternal Kingdom and even more seeds planted with life-changing fruit produced, from the young to old. Again and again we encounter students that are fired up with a passion for knowledge of the Word of God. As these students have found answers to questions or faith-challenging issues, they are better equipped to share their faith. This summer we have had the opportunity to reconnect with many students whom we taught at a younger age. Now they are in their teens or heading to college. Their testimonies of strengthened faith because of the mission God has called us to is more than rewarding. It never gets old to meet grandparents, or even great-grandparents, during VBS that have lived their lives as followers of Christ yet have never seen the impact of Genesis to the Gospel. Just yesterday this happened with a grandmother who was overjoyed and appreciative of our teaching and message. Knowing more about dinosaurs Biblically allows for them to have new lines of communication with their cherished grandkids. Our ability to give these great warriors of the faith answers that can impact their families for eternity is priceless to us.  Please continue to lift us up in prayer as our summer is not over yet. As always, know that your support is making an impact for the Kingdom that we are eternally grateful for. If you are thinking about having us come next summer, don’t hesitate to contact us as summers fill quicker than the rest of the year. Summer has and will continue to be a crazy busy time for Kingdom work. Blessings.
