Rejoicing in Heaven—That Is What It Is All About
Published December 31st, 2008 in Feedback, Museum Updates
In Luke 15:10 we read, “… I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” This week, I was so blessed to hear a report that has resulted in angels rejoicing in Heaven. Praise the Lord with us as you read about an encounter I had at the Creation Museum.
First, we had a very good crowd at the Creation Museum on Monday, (as well as yesterday)—almost 2000. As I walked through the main hall about 30 minutes after we opened to survey the bustling scene, ...
Another Large Family Visits the Creation Museum
Published December 30th, 2008 in Around AiG, Museum Updates
Some of you may remember the well-known Dugger family who visited the Creation Museum recently. They had 17 children (now 18) and are featured in a TV program seen on The Learning Channel. One of their programs was filmed as they visited the Creation Museum.
Well another large family visited the Creation Museum last Saturday. Shell and Beth Hoskinson of Clarksburg, West Virginia, visited the museum on December 27. They brought fourteen of their fifteen children with them. Seventeen in a family might seem large to most, but to Shell and Beth, it’s ...
The Hope Kids
Published December 29th, 2008 in Around AiG
We first met the Hard family this past July at the AiG family conference in Branson, Missouri. They shared with us how they used AiG materials to teach inner-city children that have no hope in Memphis, Tennessee. They affectionately called these children the “Hope Kids,” ranging in age from 7 to 13 years. We encouraged them to bring the Hope Kids to see the Creation Museum (compliments of AiG, of course—part of our mission outreach) because it would be a life-changing day for them.
At that time they had no way to bring all of these children; so, they ...
Naive “Creationist”
Published December 28th, 2008 in Feedback, Press Coverage, Thoughts and Things
What I would describe as a very naively written guest column appeared in yesterday’s Cincinnati Enquirer (our local newspaper). I believe it deserves some comment and can serve as a teaching tool for those of you reading this blog.
The opinion piece—found at this link (news.cincinnati.com/article/20081227/EDIT02/812270323/1019/EDIT) —was entitled “Definition of 'creationist' must evolve” by By James R. Delp, described as a “former high school history teacher.”
See my comments interspersed below:
If there were a presidential election and 37 percent of the American public felt a certain way about something, you'd think that the media would at least acknowledge their existence. ...
What Does It Mean to Believe in God?
Published December 27th, 2008 in Current Issues in the World, Feedback, Thoughts and Things
The results of the Harris Poll released recently in the U.S. should remind us again that just because people say they believe in God (or make statements like, “God Bless America”), does not mean they believe the Bible to be the infallible inspired Word of God, or understand what it really means to be a born-again Christian. I have met a lot of people who naively think that if someone believes in God, or believes in creation, that means they are born-again Christians—but that is not necessarily the case.
Here are some selected results from the online report from Market ...
The Only Way to See the Grand Canyon
Published December 26th, 2008 in My Journeys, Thoughts and Things
Our family has been thrilled to have my youngest brother Stephen (almost 20 years younger than me), his wife Trish, and children Sarah and David over from Down Under for Christmas. We have not often had family from Australia for Christmas in the last 22 years since we moved to the USA.
Before joining us in Kentucky, Stephen and his family toured the Grand Canyon and Zion Canyon. While at the Grand Canyon, Stephen used the creationist Grand Canyon guide (Your Guide to the Grand Canyon: A Different Perspective) ...
The Hands That Created the World Made the Hands That Were Now Holding Him
Published December 25th, 2008 in Museum Updates, Thoughts and Things
These are the words from one of my favorite songs written and sung by AiG singer and dinosaur sculptor, Buddy Davis. And it is those hands Buddy sings about that I wanted to bring to your attention today.
On this Christmas Day, 2008, I wanted my blog readers to ponder the following:
1. Jesus Christ created the universe, and all life (Colossians 1--All things were created by and for Jesus Christ). He created the first man, Adam.
God’s Word in Isaiah 64:8 likens God to a potter, and humans to the clay that the ...
Christmas Week and Religious Faith
Published December 24th, 2008 in Around AiG, Current Issues in the World, Museum Updates
As we lead up to Christmas Day (tomorrow), I thought it would be good to share an article from the Daily Mail newspaper Online (United Kingdom), which they titled: “For Christmas week, we asked some eminent scientists if it's possible to reconcile reason with religious faith.”
It is an interesting article to read as the writer reminds us of the Apollo 8 mission:
Just as the astronauts were dependent on their frail spacecraft, we were all passengers on one vessel sailing through space. It was, in effect, a religious observation about humanity being one, united group. And then, providing a shock to ...
Creation Museum Free Tomorrow
Published December 23rd, 2008 in Museum Updates
Tomorrow, as Christmas Eve, is a holiday for AiG staff; however, we decided to keep the Creation Museum open from 10 am to 3 pm and make it FREE for the community. This special gift to our tristate area is to remind people that God gave us the most valuable gift of all—His Son. By offering the Creation Museum FREE to the public, we want to remind visitors of the greatest gift of all—the gift of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thousands Attend Christmas Celebration
Many thousands of people have now visited the Creation Museum Live Nativity ...
Universal Ancestors—Go Back Only 5,000 Years
Published December 22nd, 2008 in Feedback, Museum Updates, Thoughts and Things
A fascinating article from the UK's Telegraph newspaper—reporting on genetics research in regard to how related all human beings are—states:
To get to the universal ancestors (when everyone was the forefather of everybody alive today, or of nobody) we need go back only 5,000 years. Had you entered any village on Earth, the first person you met would, if he or she had heirs, trace their descent straight to you and your partner.
Considering the human population started with 8 people just under 4,500 years ago (at the end of the Flood), and only six thousand years ago when the first two ...
