The Issue We believe in the authority of Scripture. That is, through the work of the Holy Spirit in us, we stand on the foundation of God’s inspired, infallible Word, as the only rule for our faith and life. As children of God, young and old, we are relentlessly attacked from all sides. How do […]
There are several reasons why we need to understand Genesis 1, and how to defend 24-hour creation. First, Genesis 1 begins with “in the beginning.” This is the beginning of God’s sovereign plan of salvation which he would work through his son for his people.

One such glimmer of hope came in 1959 at the great Darwinian Centennial celebration […]

Lisa is a member of Peace Protestant Reformed Church in Lansing, Illinois. She wrote this persuasive paper as an English assignment. The question of the origin of man is not a new question.

“Seek Him that maketh the seven stars and Orion…The LORD is His Name” (Amos 5:8). Everything was going well for Israel. The people were building houses of hewn stone and planting vineyards in their fields. The armies were winning battle after battle under the leadership of King Jeroboam II.
