1 Corinthians 1:5 (NIV)
5 For in him you have been enriched in every way—with
all kinds of speech and with all knowledge
There is never any conflict between true science and our
Christian faith. It is my own feeling that when all of the truth is known, it
will be found that the Genesis story is a wonderfully accurate record of what
took place when the world was created. This may be a telescoped record, giving
only major points, but I believe it is scientifically accurate. To discard the
Bible because we do not understand everything in it, or in the world, would be
a foolish thing to do. Let me also suggest that teachers should confine
themselves to those areas in which they are qualified. I have known unbelievers
to attack the Christian faith through their teaching, even when they did not
have the remotest idea of what true Christianity is. For instance, one does not
send an art critic to write up a football game, or a sports writer to evaluate
a painting. Ask God to give you the wisdom to keep things in their proper
perspective, and—above all—faithfully read your Bible and pray every day. If
you do, God will give you the faith and wisdom you need to meet any problem.
Thought for today:
Do I find refuge and delight in the word?
