I know, I know, Tuesday is for music, but I’m changing it up this week! I think it’s because of Christmas, but I can’t be sure.
Anyway.
Recently I’ve been hearing almost daily updates about the calamities progress we’re making in Copenhagen. And that’s okay; after all, I keep reading those articles, so I’m not wishing they’d go away. But I can’t help to disagree the basis of much of their reasoning.
If you’ve never heard of ICR (the Institute for Creation Research), you should really check them out.
A privately funded research facility focused on proving biblical creationism from a scientific and professional point of view, ICR has been in existence for almost 40 years! But unfortunately many Christians are still not familiar with them. They publish regularly supporting evidence on critical topics including the six, literal days of creation; the genesis flood and a young Earth; and the extinction of the dinosaurs, to name a few.
Among the plethora of tools ICR offers are two FREE publications: Days of Praise and Acts & Facts. You can read both of these online, or, if you prefer to feel the paper in your hand, they’ll mail them to you. Free. Did I say that?
Days of Praise is a short, daily devotion. Wait. If you’re anything like me, when you first hear the word “devotional”, you started skimming this paragraph. And to your credit, from all the ones I’ve read, I don’t blame you for feeling that way. But Henry Morris III, the CEO and son of founder Henry Morris II, does an over-the-top job of concisely diving deep and sharing his insights in this two-minute-a-day read (a rare feat in it’s own right). I strongly recommend it for both it’s brevity and clearness of thought. Two things not often found together in devotionals.
Acts & Facts is a monthly periodical with articles covering the gamut ‘of ICR’. Always providing captivating insight in the fields of paleontology, geology, evolution, as well as a biblical view on current events. ICR works diligently to compare the “truth” to the Truth.
In this writing, I don’t want to leave the impression that their mission is to cause strive and confrontation. In fact, it’s just the oposite. Their mission is to help Christians see, from a logical and scientific perspective, the biblical proofs that exist all around us in our modern, twenty-first century life–that science is not at odds with the Bible, but in agreement!
As you continue to hear about climate change and become curious about how it fits into the Bible, IRC is a wonderful resource to find Christian in the top of their field, who don’t pull punches when it comes to comparing the facts they find with what God has to say about our world.
Yeah,
BAM.
