But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.
1 Peter 3:15
We have a new resource to offer you. We have put together a website dedicated to dismantling the myths of evolution. You’ll find it at https://kevinharriswollongong.com.au/. You’ll discover my weekly Lord’s Day 10am sessions, ‘Evolution is Not Science.’
I have discovered that the more I look into this topic, the greater my appreciation for the wisdom of my Creator. He is astounding! With David I find myself admiring the Lord and saying, ‘I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well’ (Psalm 139:14).
The other benefit to studying this topic is that it helps to prepare me for encounters with skeptics.
There are some people that ask good questions with a sincere heart. 1 Peter 3:15 exhorts us to be ready to answer them.
Other times we discern that the skeptic is merely quarrelling, and is unwilling to hear the answers that you are prepared to give. It is for such occasions that Proverbs 23:9 says, ‘Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.’
Father, give us the wisdom to distinguish between the two. Help us to be prepared with answers, so that people’s question marks can be replaced with Your exclamation points. And teach us more of the wonders of Your creative acts so that we can admire You even more than we presently do. In the Lord Jesus’ Name I ask these things, Amen.
