Start Seeing the Unseen

2022 - SEEING the UNSEEN

     In years past, the start of the year was not only new and exciting but usually slow, from a ministry standpoint. This year has been anything but slow from the beginning. The Lord has us off and running, teaching His Word out and in. It is very encouraging to see the direction we are moving for the year as we focus on SEEING the UNSEEN.

     We have already had two trips going out to preach and teach, starting our year off with people having their lives changed through His Word. The theme of SEEING the UNSEEN is strongly resonating in this seemingly hopeless world. As we allow the Lord to impact our lives, our focus shifts to Him, His will and knowing He is in control, and then hope follows close behind in assurance of our eternal promises.

     Our Sharp Institute for Biblical Worldview Studies Cadre program is off to a great start as well this year. We have a new class, the 19th Cadre, with an almost full roster. Once again we are seeing great desire to study the Word from these men and women who are ready to share what they learn with those around them. The 18th Cadre, which started last year, just completed their 3rd meeting. We are greatly encouraged by their continued hunger and enthusiasm for truth. Their Biblical knowledge and impact where they live is being seen with each passing meeting. They are a true blessing to our ministry. We at CTF are SEEING the UNSEEN through His work in their lives as well.

     We have also been blessed with the ability to accomplish several “punch-list” items through an overwhelming 2021Year-end Giving Campaign. Our goal of $10,000 to be matched was smashed, and we ended up with gifts totaling $24,935. Our desire to do much needed maintenance on our trucks, trailers, and office is being accomplished much sooner than anticipated, praise the Lord! We also were able to replace our badly aging conference room chairs so we no longer have to be concerned about the chairs “shedding” on whoever may sit in them or busting if you lean the wrong direction. There are a few other “wants” that just might be moved to the “accomplished” stack this year because of this great blessing. The Lord is always so faithful through all of you that continue to support this ministry. Thank you!

     So, as you can SEE, we are off to an outstanding start in 2022. As so many of you are UNSEEN by us on a regular basis, please know that you are SEEN through the blessings the Lord bestows on us. Please continue to lift us up in prayer this year for His favor and mission. 2 Corinthians 4:18 is clear on where each one of us should be focused. We are driven to help people SEE the UNSEEN work of our Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ. Blessings!

As we begin a new year, it brings new potential and a figurative “clean slate”. Yet at all times it is always good to remember that the Lord never changes and neither does His purposes. His desire is that all come to Him for salvation. As it is not all will seek their Creator, yet He is always at work around us guiding life through the present sinful, cursed world. His purposes are always to bring glory to himself as our Great Almighty Lord God. This divine guiding, moving, and protecting of His Spirit in the affairs of life is called Providence , our theme for the year here at Creation Truth. His Providence has always been at work since the beginning, guiding for the purpose he has designed us for. Over the course of history, we as people have missed it or chosen not to follow it. Providence of the Lord is what guided His people out of Egypt to the Promised Land. Even while suffering judgment for their sin in the desert, there was Providence , providing for their needs with daily manna and encouraging them on to the Promised Land. At just the right time, Providence bestowed to us a Savior, Jesus Christ. Never would we have planned or made provision for the Savior of the world in the manner He came to earth. All of His work while in the flesh was done to point us to Him and His Glory. Providence was fulfilled on the cross for all eternity with the way for all to find the Lord and salvation, to be guided out of death and overcome the trial of this life through His death, burial and resurrection. Providence , 250 years ago, guided our country’s forefathers to seek a land to freely worship their Creator and Savior, with freedom from tyranny and a pursuit of liberty for all. Even though not all were followers of the Lord, it was still more than evident that they knew His Providence had a protecting hand on us. Only by His great Providence did we become a country, for the Lord knew we would become a beacon of that freedom and, ultimately, the only true freedom that comes from Christ. Through many trials and failures in history we have sinned before our Lord, and we must continually repent and seek Him for forgiveness. His Providence has allowed our nation of people from many tongues and tribes to melt together. We have been, and I pray continue to be, the largest Christian nation in the world, proclaiming who He is before all else.  This year, as we focus on His Providence , may you seek Him and be reminded of all the times He has guided, protected and blessed you for His name. David wrote in Psalm 31:3-5 of the Lord’s Providence : “For You are my high rock and my fortress; For Your name's sake You will lead me and guide me. You will bring me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength. Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have ransomed me, O Yahweh, God of truth.”(LSB) We at Creation Truth Foundation look forward to another year of opportunities to serve, champion, and exalt His Name. May you be guided, protected and blessed through Providence this year.
