Genesis 23:1-20; Job 27:1-28:28; Matthew 12:22-50

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1

This profound statement focuses us upon the supreme nature of God who alone is able to create what is, out of what is not. Evolution fails to answer even basic questions about life, while the Bible gives full responses. It deals with the origin of matter, the origin of life and the origin of humans as religious beings. Humankind started by knowing God. We have been going the other way ever since. It is a desperate attempt to avoid God, especially in the light of the coming day of accountability. Let us look forward to that day without fear, by knowing Jesus in our hearts by faith. —Paul Young

Jesus is Lord! Creation’s voice proclaims it,
For by His power each tree and flower was planned and made.
Jesus is Lord! The universe declares it;
Sun, moon and stars in heaven cry: Jesus is Lord! —David J. Mansell
