Day 1: In the Beginning God...

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Genesis 1:1 

 

Thus begins the greatest story ever told. It is the story that reveals where we came from, what we are doing here, and where we are going. It reveals the power and genius and love of the One who created everything. 

 

It begins the greatest and most accurate record of history ever given. It begins the greatest and most accurate description of true science ever put together. But it is far more than a book of history or science: It is the Book of life!

 

It is a book of books - 66 to be exact - that was written by approximately 40 different men over a period of about 1,500 years. 

 

It is the inspired and flawless Word of God and, despite the claims of pseudo scholars, it is not filled with contradictory or unsubstantiated thoughts but is made up of complimentary and logical teachings that have never been disproved.

 

It has inspired some of the greatest documents ever conceived by men, including the Magna Carta of England, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States of America.

 

When followed it has provided counsel for the wisest men and women who have ever lived. When ignored it has accurately and clearly foretold the consequences of such folly.   

 

In short, it is the Bible and it begins in the only way it could: With God!

 

Just think of the ramifications of believing in this simple statement: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." If it was truly believed, we wouldn't have wasted over a hundred years, millions of classroom hours, and billions of dollars pursuing the idea of a Godless evolution. If it was truly believed, we wouldn't be banning the most effective air conditioning coolants or burning our corn in our cars in a starving world in order to try and prevent the imagined catastrophic predictions of the "climate change" crowd.

 

This is the marvelous document that you can hold in your hand and read for yourself - whenever you choose - the perfect instructions from your loving Father. It commences with, "In the beginning God" and it will change your life forever if you will let it.

 

Are you ready for this most incredible journey? Then pick up your Bible and begin!

 

"I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments."

Psalm 119:131, ESV
