News, Noise, and Nonsense
Take a moment to Google, Yahoo, or Bing "Creation Science in the news". Search it in your Twitter account and Google+ account. You will find no lack of information. Blogs, tweets, posts, updates, articles, and videos abound. The information age has become information overload. But is it really information? How much of the noise is simply opinionated nonsense? The ease and opportunity of communication via technology has made it possible to casually purport opinion as if they were fact (that's my opinion, at least). The cacophony of messages
The Power of Opposites
These two young men have placed their hands on either side of the great unconformity. In doing so, they have one hand before the Genesis Flood and one after the Genesis Flood. One hand is touching the foundation rock that represents the creative power of God who loved us enough to knit us together in our mother's womb. The other hand is touching the first layer of sediment laid down during the flood representing the wrath of God against sin and yet the mercy of God in preserving
How Well do we Know?
Can you fill in the blanks of these popular advertising slogans? "The best part of waking up is __________ in your cup." "Guts, _____, Ram." "What's in your _______?" Like a good neighbor _______________ is there." Our minds are filled with bits of information that really do us no good at all. How is it that at least 90% of you knew that the answers above were "Folgers", "Glory", "wallet", and "State Farm"? I doubt any one of us ever sat down to memorize the slogans for Folgers, Ram Trucks, Capitol One, or
Genesis and Jesus
In John chapter 5, Jesus is providing powerful testimony to the truth of who He is. He concludes His testimony with words that reveal His opinion of how we are to read and interpret Genesis. John 5:45-47 says, "But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what
Be Prepared to Give an Answer
1 Peter 3:15-16 "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander." Once again, I had the privilege of speaking of God's glory while gazing awestruck into the Grand Canyon. We were standing at Hopi point and enjoying the

Ministry of Celebration
This beautiful sunset marked the end of a day lived in the victory of Jesus. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says, "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Each day we are given upon this earth is our opportunity to live in victory and celebrate the love of our Creator. Yesterday we were challenged by our pastor to celebrate who God is and what he has done. That ambition is at the heart of what Canyon Ministries is all about. Each trip we
Thank You!
Kathleen just finished leading our family in a Bible activity centered on the topic of change. It was an encouraging investigation of the scriptures that reminded us that there is a time for everything, that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and that God is always sovereign over all circumstances. These are cherished verses for us as we have made our transition into Arizona and leading Canyon Ministries. We feel a high sense of honor and privilege in what God has chosen for our family. We
Bending and Believing
Kathleen and I had the privilege of hiking in Sedona with Guy Forsythe on December 17. Guy is the founder of Crying Rocks Ministry in Sedona. Please take the time to check out his website at www.cryingrocks.org. Guy was gracious enough to take some time and show us the folding in the Coconino sandstone found around Sedona. This is the same Coconino sandstone that is the third layer in the Grand Canyon. This particular sandstone has been the focus of conflict in regards to its origin. The evolutionist
