Year-end Blessing

Matt Miles • December 9, 2019

Greetings from all the CTF team, and our deepest heartfelt Christmas blessing to you and your family! May the Lord show you the reality of His birth in a most impactful manner this Christmas season. The gift given some 2000 years ago – our Creator coming to earth as a baby for the purpose of bearing our sin so we may have life – remains more transformational than anything ever, before or since. May we never forget the importance of this season!

With the holiday season comes the completion of our 30th successful year of ministry at Creation Truth Foundation, and the Lord has blessed us abundantly through the year. The number of new venues into which we were invited this year was a great encouragement, especially as we continue to see that there are still some churches that hold to preaching and teaching the Truth of God’s Word. The number of lives impacted for the Gospel through teaching Genesis is another great encouragement. Receiving emails, letters and texts from some of the people that the Lord has saved through our ministry work makes the many miles and hours worthwhile.

Each year worldly, pagan and evolutionary influences gain momentum, even in the church. Our message is one that some churches will never embrace as it continues to show that so-called science (evolutionary/naturalistic) is not science at all, but rather an evolutionary philosophy at best. Ephesians 5:15-16 reminds us where we are instructed to be wise in these evil days, making the most of every opportunity. There is great science being done that continually supports the historical testimony of Genesis, as well as the rest of Scripture. True empirical science never has issues with the truth of God’s Word, and this we boldly proclaim.

Your support this year has been foundational to getting our message out to all who will hear. Each and every dollar given has made an impact on our team and those we minister to across this nation and in other countries. You may never know or understand how important that gift has been to the Kingdom, but we will endeavor to press forward maximizing those gifts. 2020 is shaping up to be another impactful year as God drives our mission where He needs us most.

To start the new year off successfully we need your help now, at the end of 2019. Year-end gifts are essential to build a foundation for 2020. Our current monthly support level doesn’t cover all of the bills and ministry expenses, so we rely on our program love offerings each month to cover the difference. December, January and February are lean months for our traveling and teaching, so our finances take on a large deficit. Year-end gifts will help us meet all our expenses as we head into 2020. Please help us during this season as we look forward to and prepare for the many exciting endeavors to come this next year.

Thank you again and may God bless you during this Christmas season!

Baby Jesus Figurine

Here we are again, just a few days before Christmas. It seems the old adage, “The older you get the faster time flies,” is so true. There is not a year that passes when we look back and think, “Wow, this year took forever!” History is passing by and we look forward to the new year as we continue to focus on our eternal destiny. Our theme this year has been, HISTORY & DESTINY. Christmas is a great time to reflect on these two realities. Everyone has “Christmas history”, as I term it - those moments from past Christmases that are remembered year after year. Maybe it’s a great family gathering or Christmas activity that has become a beloved tradition. All of those moments are formed by previous years’ experiences. Sometimes this season can be tough, as we may have that memory of a loved one that has passed or other difficulties that we may be facing. Christmas history is always impactful, be it good or bad. This makes me reflect on the first Christmas. For Mary and Joseph, there was no previous history like that moment, per se. Yet, the history of the prior four thousand years had been preparing for the manger, the moment in history that our Savior would be born and begin Christmas history for all of us. Whether it is acknowledged or not, without Jesus’ birth in history, none of this season happens. Each and every Christmas our desire is to make those “Christmas history” memories for our family. Our desire is to impact the future of our family, our destiny. Often our efforts fall short or are interrupted by things out of our control. In those moments, so much stress can come from our efforts not going as planned. Sometimes it ends up ruining the whole season, especially if our focus has not been on the simple fact that He was born to bring peace, not stress. Let us not forget that it didn’t start the way Mary and Joseph had planned, with no room in the inn. But the Lord provided a place for them to rest and deliver the baby. Immanuel, God with us, is the bell ringing for all eternity that started that first Christmas. Our eternal destiny hinges on whether we acknowledge who He is everyday, not just in this season. Yet, this season is most assuredly a great time to emphasize His gift of life for all eternity. Our Creator became as one of His image bearers in that stable under imperfect conditions. He joined HISTORY and DESTINY that moment in time. The years of history that prepared the world for the child born that first Christmas would give us hope for all eternity. Jesus is the marker for all history. Because of that moment in time, our life can have peace for eternity through Him. May we all focus on the culmination of HISTORY & DESTINY during our family Christmas celebrations this year. Our history is written but our destiny is hope in Jesus Christ, our Creator and Savior. Blessings this season to you and your family from all of us here at Creation Truth Foundation!
