Identity-Damon Lee

How are we defined? Are we defined by the world, the church, by our experiences and choices? Are these just influences and that there is something more that gives us our identity?

The Imperative of Good Teaching

Here is another one especially for ministers. It’s a challenge to actually teach the faith we have been given through the restoration of biblical doctrine and catechisms, which have been broadly abandoned today. The piece also proposes a number of areas of theology, ethics and discipline for churches to teach.

I will put this article up at my holiness and reform website https://www.holinessofthebride.com. The site is an open invitation to join us in reform, and provides many informative resources.

You can read the full text of this piece on pdf here: https://www.holinessofthebride.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Faith-Statement-Restoration.pdf

To support our work towards holiness and reform in the Body of Messiah and in the greater community you can go here: https://www.holinessofthebride.com/donate-2

Lord, please restore the Body of Messiah in godly teaching and lifestyle.

Lessons from the Upper Room, New from Sinclair Ferguson

Knowing the time was fast approaching for Him to depart this world, Jesus spent His final hours with His closest friends. As the disciples sat with their master, unaware of what would soon take place, Jesus served them, taught them, and prayed for them.

In this new 12-part teaching series, Lessons from the Upper Room, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson paints a vivid picture of the disciples’ final moments with their Savior. Carefully walking through John 13-17, Dr. Ferguson reminds us of the centrality of Christ in all of life.

The Rock-Climbing Catfish <br /><br />It's not very pretty, nor is it graceful, but Colombia's rock-climbing catfish has a unique ability among fish. Find out more on today's Creation Moments Minute. <br /><br />The rock-climbing catfish's climbing equipment begins with a powerful sucker mouth. Once it has attached its sucker to the rock, it pulls up its stomach plate and anchors it. With its body anchored, it moves its sucker up the face of the rock and repeats the process. The fish can walk up a 20-foot rock wall in about 30 minutes! <br /><br />Who gave the rock-climbing catfish that powerful sucker mouth?

The Rock-Climbing Catfish

It's not very pretty, nor is it graceful, but Colombia's rock-climbing catfish has a unique ability among fish. Find out more on today's Creation Moments Minute.

The rock-climbing catfish's climbing equipment begins with a powerful sucker mouth. Once it has attached its sucker to the rock, it pulls up its stomach plate and anchors it. With its body anchored, it moves its sucker up the face of the rock and repeats the process. The fish can walk up a 20-foot rock wall in about 30 minutes!

Who gave the rock-climbing catfish that powerful sucker mouth? Who gave it such a clever bony stomach plate and the powerful muscles to control it? And who taught it to climb rocks? One opinion says that no one did it. The other says that it was the work of God. The Bible's claim of a Creator is the only one that makes sense!

Ancient Modern Technology

On today’s Creation Moments Minute, we look at two modern technological marvels that were around before the time of Christ.

It is unfortunate that we so often have the sense that nothing technologically important has happened in human history until modern times. This helps maintain the illusion that humans are indeed progressing and evolving upward.

Differential gears, allowing a machine to perform two functions simultaneously, were not used in modern times until 1575. However, a model planetarium using differential gears was found in a ship that sank off Greece in 78 B.C.

That’s not all. While Ben Franklin is given credit for discovering electricity, electric batteries dating from 100 B.C. have been found in Iraq.

Despite all of our modern gadgets, there is no evidence that humans are any more clever today than they were on the first day they walked the Earth – just as the Bible says.

God’s Chemistry Again Outpaces Man<br /><br />On today’s Creation Moments Minute, we look at how a single fertilized cell divides into many different kinds of cells – including liver cells, skin cells, brain cells, and bone cells.<br /><br />Human growth factor – a chemical produced by our body – is being studied to see if it is responsible for the development of all those different cells from a single cell. However, this is only one of thirty known chemicals that influence the development of new cells.<br /><br />Where do all of these incredible chemicals come from? They don't come from laboratories staffed with the best brains in science. They are produced by our bodies. Science should stand in awe at the evident wisdom behind those chemical structures and the way they work. And that's one of the best arguments that we were created by a wise and powerful Creator, not by mindless chemical accidents!<br /><br />For Creation Moments Minute, I’m Darren Marlar.

God’s Chemistry Again Outpaces Man

On today’s Creation Moments Minute, we look at how a single fertilized cell divides into many different kinds of cells – including liver cells, skin cells, brain cells, and bone cells.

Human growth factor – a chemical produced by our body – is being studied to see if it is responsible for the development of all those different cells from a single cell. However, this is only one of thirty known chemicals that influence the development of new cells.

Where do all of these incredible chemicals come from? They don't come from laboratories staffed with the best brains in science. They are produced by our bodies.

And that's one of the best arguments that we were created by a wise and powerful Creator, not by mindless chemical accidents!
