Eternal Purpose

Matt Miles • May 14, 2020

     There are some people, even Christians, out there that question the importance and/or purpose of a ministry like Creation Truth. They usually look at our Mobile Museum of Earth History fossil exhibit and say, “So what?” or something along the lines of “Dinosaurs don’t really matter when it comes to salvation.” It is important to remember that the purpose of this ministry is not solely tied to dinosaurs or science. Yes, we deal with both of those issues, but our purpose runs much deeper to the spiritual authority that Jesus Christ holds for eternal salvation.

     Creation is the single most important moment in the salvation process. Some people would begin arguing with that statement in favor of the Cross or Resurrection. While both of those events are absolutely essential to salvation, they are not the most important. Without the creation of everything by the Lord Jesus Christ, there is simply no authority for Him to save us. He has authority over all because He made it all. Because He is our Creator first, He can save us for all eternity by giving His life on the cross. Through the resurrection we understand His conquering over death with life, and thus giving it to us. He tells us in His infallible Word of how He created it all and shows His identity as Cause, Maker, and Sustainer. Without that, we would be bound hopeless in our sinful death.

     Our mission and purpose at Creation Truth Foundation is to show unequivocally that in the beginning the Word of God started His plan and purpose for us, as recorded in the pages of Genesis. The historical record must be right from the beginning or the rest of the Bible becomes just “good” teaching stories with no redemptive value. But if the historical record of Genesis is correct as written, then and only then is our eternal salvation sure with all the hope we desperately need at this moment in time.  Our purpose and importance at CTF is to continue to battle the skepticism that is running rampant in the church today. Please consider lifting us in your prayers over the next several months as the Covid crisis has significantly impacted our ability to be in the place we are called to be, the local church. We will begin traveling as soon as the invitation is extended for us to come. We are ready to go and encourage the faithful to trust the entirety of the Bible because of who our Creator says He is in Genesis. 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.
