Evolution or Creation

19791010 ROR - As Superior To Science - Identify The Issues - Evolution Or Creation - Rev. Tommy Jones

How can you scientifically #prove an unrepeatable event such as the #origin of the #Universe and #mankind itself? Without scientific proof, it comes down to a matter of Faith on either side. Is creation ongoing? Are there boundaries to species and kinds? Which lines up better with the laws of physics, evolution or creation? What is theistic evolution? What is progressive creation and the day/age theory? What is the gap theory and how does it differ from scientific creation?

I find the Lord’s timing to be perfect. Today my home church, #BiltmoreChurch, started a series of sermons on the Gospel According to Genesis which spoke directly to some of these same topics. That message is available online as well. Next week we look at cosmology.

With #Science and #Faith, it is not an either/or situation. But one does go further than the other in explaining the world around us. What does today’s lesson refer to when it says problem or profit? Brother Tommy is referring to the Bible, God’s Word. If we had perfect knowledge would there be any conflict with the Bible? What are some of the mistakes we make that lead us to have a problem understanding God’s Word? Stay tuned next week for a discussion of miracles.

A number of people today are claiming that #Religion is the cause of all the conflict in the World. This week, we embark on a series Brother Tommy delivered in 1979 on the role of religion. Specifically, Christianity and the ways it can and should impact our lives. How is it superior to science(not as a replacement but in a side by side comparison)? How is it helpful to our health? How does it inform our ethics? For today we start with science. How was the earth formed? How can scientific advancement bless and curse us at the same time? How has the make up of the scientific community changed over the years? Do Science and the Bible contradict each other? What causes friction between these two fields? How can they be reconciled?

19750119 Stewardship Personal Promise - Rev. Tommy Jones

What is your #word worth? When you give your personal #promise is it worth anything? How about when God promises something, can we count on that? Have you ever wondered why so many churches have the name Bethel in them? Listen to the passage about Jacob to find out. What do our promises have to do with God’s plans? Why does God require a commitment from us in order to move forward? It boils down to free will. Does our motive for giving to the Lord matter? Is God watching what you are giving?

Stewardship Concerning the Collection

19750112 Stewardship Concerning The Collection - Rev. Tommy Jones

Some people get uncomfortable when the subject of #money is brought up. Why is that? Well, probably because whoever is speaking is usually asking for some of your money. If you are a created being and the Lord provides all of your needs as the Bible tells us, is there really such a thing as your money? Why is the Church concerned about taking up a collection? Why does it concern us, believer or not? How does concern for the collection dovetail into God’s concern for our salvation? What does the Bible say about the timing of the collection? What is said about who should participate in the collection? How about where it goes? What does the word tithe mean? What is the purpose for taking up a collection?
