Creation, Science, and Genesis 1

Ken Brown | November 27, 2009

I was at a wedding reception not long ago, seated next to a man I had not previously met. We exchanged the usual small talk. I learned that he was a retired eighth-grade science teacher. The conversation was pleasant enough until he learned that I am a Bible-believing Christian. Then he launched into an all-out assault. “How can you possibly believe Genesis?” He went on and on about evolution, endeavoring to make a mockery of God’s Word. It takes hundreds of thousands of years for the light from such and such a star to reach the earth. How could God have created the universe only about six thousand years ago? He referred to the Bible as a practical joke.

Trust in the Lord

Ken Brown | November 21, 2009

We as believers are always to trust absolutely in our wonderful heavenly Father. Any “Bible-believing” Christian (and should there be any other kind?) would acknowledge this in a heartbeat. In practice, however, who or what we REALLY trust in can be so subtle that even the most sincere among us might at times be outside of where we want to be.

Ken Brown | November 21, 2009

Video of a group called Go Fish singing “It’s Called Christmas with a Capital C.” I enjoyed it and thought you might too.

Romans 13 and Civil Disobedience

Ken Brown | November 14, 2009

The thirteenth chapter of Romans has been erroneously used to proclaim that all disobedience of one’s government is categorically immoral, contrary to God’s Word, the Bible. Many Bible versions even translate the early verses of this chapter in a manner that clearly conveys this message.

The New Wine of Acts 2:13

Ken Brown | November 8, 2009

This is in response to a question that came up. What is the “new wine” of Acts 2:13? The record could have just said “wine.” What is the meaning and significance of “new wine?”

Letter from a Friend About God’s Deliverance

Ken Brown | November 7, 2009

Last year at about this time, Father asked me to do something that was a little uneasy at the time. So I made sure that it was in-fact He that was asking, and that it was in fact His direction for me. Then I asked Him to strengthen and help me, and to calm my fears. What He did for me was exactly what I needed to carry out His direction.
