Remember Now Your Creator

Both the history of religion and science, especially since 1870, exhibit the ease at which evolutionism encroached the sacred halls of Biblical faith. Never was so much mumbo-jumbo impinged upon so many unsuspecting people with so little evidence. The fact of the matter is that naturalistic origins have never been proven; it was just asserted carte blanche , and with great excitement and fervor! But proof or no proof, this world of make-believe rapidly was ingratiated into the secular university domain, and since then has taken the culture by storm…and our one nation under God has ceased to exist!

The rabid disbelief fostered by naturalism, it seems to me, is foundational to the rise of antichrist. One thing is for sure, godless evolutionism certainly has antichrist tendencies, and has for sure influenced a significant Biblical decline in the West!

The positive secular response to naturalism reminds me of a statement I once heard Dr. Gary Parker make. He was discussing the vehemence and bluster of evolutionists in their attempt to prove how something (as the first life form) can arise from nothing, and he remarked that many origin arguments are won simply because their proponents shout the loudest…more on this later!

The late Dr. Henry M. Morris, father of the 20 th century revival of Biblical Creationism, exhibited in his famous book, The Long War Against God (p. 22), the glaring nature of evolutionists by quoting Dr. Stanley Beck, entomologist at the University of Wisconsin:

Twentieth century biology rests on the foundation of evolutionary concepts … The evolutionary basis is also apparent in peripheral independent fields such as chemistry, geology, physics and astronomy. No central scientific concept is more firmly established in our thinking, our methods, and our interpretations, than that of evolution. (Stanley D. Beck, Bioscience 32, Oct. 1982, p. 732)

But what is far more perilous is the development of a significantly weakened and evolutionized Christian evangel. Hundreds of Christian disciples (if not thousands) have been schooled in “so-called” accredited science programs immersed in godless evolutionism, and as a result have become protagonists for some form of evolutionized explanation of Creation. It seems as if we have forgotten the wisdom of Solomon, “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth…fear God and keep His commandments.” (Ecclesiastes 12:1,13)

In Genesis 12 the Lord calls Abraham (Abram) to be the father of a great nation. This all happened to Abraham at 75 years old. Some might say that is too late in life to start something new, especially a calling of that magnitude. Yet that was not the overwhelming part to me; that would come in verse 7 when the Lord said the land would be his offspring’s. Wait, what?! The Lord had a plan and His Providence would guide Abraham, even when Abraham did not have offspring and did not wait on the Lord. I have to wonder how I would have reacted to such a call and covenant. As we know from Psalms, the Lord guides and sustains all by His Providence for His name sake, which we are focusing on this year. But does Providence act on our timing? When God called Abraham, he had no children. Yet the promise given was that his offspring would be a great nation in a land saved for them. What we know now is that Abraham wouldn’t have his son Isaac until he was 100 years old, a full 25 years after the covenant was made. Most of the time we expect the Lord’s hand working in our life to be immediate, but that is not always the case. In some cases it might take years to experience the Providence coming to fruition. Remember Genesis 21:2 states Isaac’s birth was at the “appointed time.” This understanding should give us peace as we rely on Providence and, at times, are called to patience. Providence was again on display for us to understand that even in obedient sacrifice He will be glorified, as Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son, Isaac, who was inherently tied to the covenant of the Lord. Abraham was faithful in all aspects, even when most of us might say “no way” to that sacrifice to the Lord. Yet at the right time, through faithfulness in Abraham’s obedience, there was Providence providing behind him in the ram. Our faithful obedience sometimes feels like a tough ask from the Lord, but rest assured He is there, ready to lift up His name through us. Providence continued through time, 100 years later, after Isaac had his sons, Jacob and Esau. Then Jacob was blessed by the Lord with 12 sons, one of which was Joseph, who was sold to Egypt by his brothers. You probably recall all the ups and downs of Joseph’s life, yet he was faithful to the Lord throughout them all. Remember, there was a covenant at stake. The Lord, through His Providence, made sure he had Joseph where He needed him to save the great nation of Israel from famine. This Providence secured the covenant line to continue to Christ. Many times throughout history Providence has guided and protected His covenant, and now you and I can be blessed with inclusion in His great nation through Christ. If it had not been so, then we literally have no assurance of our salvation. Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ that His Providence is faithful for all eternity, so we may know peace and have confidence in the promised destiny. Our ministry here at CTF has always emphasized the importance of Genesis 12, Abraham’s covenant. We share there is no difference in importance of Genesis 1-11 over chapter 12 and through the entirety of the Bible. The whole Bible is inspired to be trustworthy and to show His Providence throughout history for His name’s sake and also for our salvation. Blessings.
