Christian Evidences for Kids

As we wrap up a quarter of studying Christian Evidences, I wanted to share with you some of what we have been studying in the 5th and 6th grade class.
Many who believe in evolution and the “big bang” are doing everything they can to spread this teaching through our schools and published everywhere so they can call it “science”. Our children are being bombarded with these teachings and we must take care to equip them with with reason, logic and the right questions to see through the lies that are being taught and then share the Gospel. If we give into the belief of evolution, we call God a liar and we literally diminish the power of the Gospel by reducing the saving message of Jesus to a myth.
First, our Universe demands a designer because of the order and precision we see. The “big bang” violates the First Law of Thermodynamics in that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Did you hear that? The “big bang” violates a proven natural law that is accepted by all scientists. The order of the universe, the perfect placement of our planets and solar system require that to be put in place.
Second, our bodies demand a designer. Do you know that the processing power it takes to function our eye sight is more advanced that any technology humans have developed? Yet we are supposed to believe that the miles of veins and nerves in our body are just a result of many accidents? Who would ever look at an iPad on the ground and think “this came into existence from an accident”?
Third, there is no evidence in the fossil records of any kinds of animals transitioning into other kinds. Did you hear that… NO EVIDENCE.
Fourth, our DNA is literally a coded language and scientists have proven it. Just like a book requires an author and a reader knowing the same language, our DNA requires a programmer to write this code for life to function how it needs to function.
Creation and evolution cannot be proven by strict observable science. Both are beliefs that must be accepted by faith with the evidence presented. Have faith in God who loves you and gives eternal life!

Kidmin 101

This past Sunday night, I shared five core values that our Children’s Ministry is founded on. These values are what helps keep each event, activity, and class in line with our overall mission. The core values are: 1. Know: Our children will learn to know God and the...

Faith On a Shelf

I have this hat that my dad brought back to me from a business trip to Atlanta when I was 9 or 10 years old. You can see that I’ve worn it a lot. In fact, I wore it to just about everywhere I went during the summer when I was a kid. Church camps, grandparents’ house,...

“Jesus Loves Me”

After being led in this song by two of our young men Sunday night, I was reminded of a quotation from Karl Barth. On April 23, 1962, Karl Barth (the renown 20th Century Swiss-German, neo-orthodox theologian) spoke at Rockefeller Chapel on the campus of the University...

That’s Not a Candle

Several years ago, there was story shared about a woman from Connecticut whose power had gone out during a storm. She left her house to go to a local hardware store to purchase some flashlights, but the store was closed. She returned home and found what she thought...

The Post-Christian Problem

I attended the New Day Conference in Murfreesboro, Tennessee at the end of last week with a small group from Riverchase. It was a good conference and I left encouraged about the opportunities we have to fulfill the call of Christ to make disciples. On Friday evening,...

Josiah’s Reform

In the thirty-one years of his rule, King Josiah proved to be a faithful man of God and a great king of Judah. He served God from the beginning as a young king and grew into a greater understanding of God’s will and a determination to follow that will. He made a...

You Are What You Eat

You Are What You Eat You’ve heard the phrase, “You are what you eat.” Simply defined, it means that you should eat healthy if you want to be healthy. This phrase can trace its roots back to the early 1800’s. It came from the 1826 work The Physiology of Taste, in which...

It Is Well

Above the piano in our house is a large wood sign with the phrase, “it is well with my soul” on it. Kimberly and I purchased it during a season of our life together where we were not completely sure what the future had in store for our little family. Since then, the...

Do Over

  I messed up on recording my recent radio programs. The sound quality was so bad Mark could not run them on the air. So, I deleted them and recorded them again.   I sure wish I could do that in real life with all the other mistakes I make. Just delete them...

Don’t Believe Your Preacher

Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. (2 John 1:9 ESV) Here is the test. The “teaching of Christ” is, of course, the very word of God. So, if your...
