Divine Authority

Matt Miles • February 22, 2017

The Lord has empowered us here at CTF with a powerful message about His divine authority.  This message is one that is fundamental to our Christian life that helps us understand Christ as our Savior.  In the media, school systems, books, and even many churches, evolution continues to undermine this message of our origin.  The evolutionary process of man having common ancestry with other primates and ultimately all mammals, no matter if it is thought of as godless or God-driven, is unsubstantiated in all scientific rigors.  Yet, this idea has been established as fact in the minds of many people in some form or fashion.  Whether it appears as traditional Darwinian evolution or merely as immense amounts of time outside of the Biblical timeframe, it is evolution, plain and simple.  We here at CTF have been given a call to combat this thinking with a message of hope, truth and authority.

Several years ago as Doc began our Cadre classes for church leadership, lay leadership and others, his desire was to multiply this God-given message further than our ministry.  Gratefully, I write today as one of the first Cadre members the Lord used to take this message out.  Since our first meetings in 2005, we have educated over 80 individuals who are sharing the accuracy of the Biblical account in churches, work places, other countries, schools, and homes.  These brothers and sisters have been entrusted with a powerful message that others need to hear.  So, we are beginning a new section in our newsletter called Cadre Column.  Here our readers will have the opportunity to read articles written by Cadre members.  These articles will show the battle from a different vantage point than we at CTF see it, day in and day out.  These brothers and sisters are in the trenches everyday and that brings a different perspective of the battle than we have.  My prayer is that the Lord will use their articles to show the power of a Biblical worldview.  Please enjoy the articles and lift these great warriors up in prayer each month.

Blessings.

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.
