God Formed The Earth… To Be Inhabited

by Dennis Petersen

The more we learn about our earth and the harsh  realities of other planets, doesn’t that give us cause to thank our Creator for His special care in making our planetary home such a wonderful world?

Have you heard that even secular (non God-fearing) scientists have often recognized and pondered the many unique features of our planet that seem to have been coincidentally designed to facilitate human life so providently?  How many can you think of?

Is it just an accident that Earth has just the right atmosphere to allow easy breathing?  No other planet comes even close.

Earth has ideal gravity, ideal air pressure, ideal temperature, and ideal global size.  And of course, who doesn’t know now that no other place in the universe, but earth alone, has life sustaining liquid water in abundance?

Earth has a day and night cycle perfect for adequate human work and rest.  The delicate balance of nature provides such astounding reliability for human life, who can miss the miraculous coincidence of it all?

This marvelous display of design has been called the “Anthropic” principle in science; things just seem to be built to satisfy the needs of man.  Can you imagine if horses got no larger than sheep?  What if dogs were as big as cows?  Wagging tails and slobbering tongues could do us in.  And what would life be like for cat lovers without our affectionate feline friends?  And look at the food we have.  Imagine if grain had husks as hard as walnut shells.  If watermelons had thin skins.  If bananas were as big as banana squash!!

Yes, it’s easy to see the marks of an ingenious Designer.  Indeed, He has created the earth TO BE INHABITED!

 “For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): “I am the LORD, and there is no other.” Isaiah 45:18

For all who teach their children to Love the Truth

Without Fear of Jehovah, Men have no love of the truth.

Thank God for the “bridges” He provides, inviting us to be transformed… to pass out of darkness into light… to destroy the speculations that lure us to destroy ourselves… and to change our destiny from death to eternal life.

Even more, thank God we can be equipped to help our own children, grandchildren and others to be mentored in Truth as we declare to them regularly the truly awe-inspiring works of our Creator.

The essential Key?  Love the Truth!  Know how to identify deception and delusion!

“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

 

The institutionalized powers that govern our contemporary American culture are deeply embedded.  The public education system, the halls of higher learning, the mainstream news and entertainment media, the corporate officers of Big Business, the Hollywood elite… they are almost all secularists!  They deliberately wield their agendas to posture themselves in direct opposition to Christian morality and virtue.  The decline and departure of many godly men and women from positions of influence poses a threat to freedom and the future of America, causing understandable fear among law-abiding citizens.

This sad reality is an historic call for deep abiding prayer and action, lest we further offend our Sovereign King of all creation.

It could not be any clearer.  The only question remaining is:

“Will we respond to His call?”

AwesomeWorks is devoted to call this generation of fathers to “praise God’s works to the next generation… declaring His mighty and awesome acts.” (from Psalm 145)

 

 

 

Note about secularism:

 

Secularism is a religion established by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1963.  Secularism openly minimizes the public and political influence of Christianity. The Court’s secular motive now appears to be a deliberate strategy—one that effectively creates a deep separation of the legal and governmental world from the influence of the positive and genuine religious values of our Godly ancestors.  Let’s be honest – it is the equivalent to blasphemy to declare that God commanded obedience to secular Justices when those authorities command iniquity and adherence to falsehood.  The problem is that most of us in today’s culture have not been sensitized to the utter abhorrence to the crime of blasphemy.  We have been desensitized because we are surrounded daily with a regular diet of blasphemy in our digital age of entertainment.

Secularists are not looking for compromise.

Their ambitions are openly defiant. They vigorously oppose the obvious supernatural creation of man and the divinely created spiritual nature of every child of God. (more…)
