The God of Creation: From Beginning to Redemption
Inspiring Towards GodThe same God who spoke the universe into existence is the One who entered it to redeem it. Genesis and Revelation form one story—from creation to new creation. The light that shone in the beginning shines again through Christ, who brings life and renewal. All of nature groans for restoration; all history moves toward redemption. The gospel restores what was lost in Eden—a renewed relationship with God through grace.7 views -
Genesis and the Modern World: Why Origins Still Matter
Inspiring Towards GodGenesis is more than ancient history—it’s the foundation of human purpose, morality, and identity. Belief in a Creator gives meaning to morality, marriage, and stewardship of the earth. Modern culture redefines life, gender, and purpose—but Genesis reaffirms divine design. Creation theology teaches that everything has purpose because everything began with God.4 views -
Faith and Science: Enemies or Partners?
Inspiring Towards GodFaith and science are not enemies but allies—both seek truth, though from different perspectives. True science explores God’s creation; true faith reveals His purpose. From Newton to Kepler, discovery was an act of devotion—a way to 'think God’s thoughts after Him.' Conflicts arise not from data but from worldview—when human pride replaces divine awe. The laws of nature reflect a Lawgiver; logic reflects the mind of God.7 views -
Creation vs. Evolution: Competing Worldviews
Inspiring Towards GodThe Genesis account of creation and the theory of evolution represent two fundamentally different worldviews—one rooted in purpose, the other in chance. Microevolution describes adaptation, which Scripture supports, while macroevolution seeks to explain life without God. Every worldview answers three questions: Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? The evidence for design—from DNA to biodiversity—points to intelligence rather than accident.4 views -
The Tower of Babel: Language, Culture, and Divine Boundaries
Inspiring Towards GodAt Babel, humanity sought unity without God—building a tower that symbolized pride and self-exaltation. The confusion of languages wasn’t punishment but protection—preventing a global rebellion. Modern genetics and linguistics confirm humanity’s shared origin, just as Genesis declares. The story of Babel ends with dispersion—but Pentecost begins a reversal, uniting people under one Spirit.9 views 1 comment -
The Age of the Earth: Time, Genealogies, and Interpretation
Inspiring Towards GodDebates over the age of the earth often distract from the greater message of Genesis: that God is the Author of time itself. Some read Genesis literally as six 24-hour days; others see literary framework or symbolic periods. Yet both affirm that God created with purpose and sequence. Genealogies in Genesis trace covenant, not just chronology—they connect God’s acts to His promises. Science continues to refine our understanding of time, yet Genesis remains the ultimate record of origins from a divine perspective.13 views -
The Flood: Global Judgment or Local Catastrophe?
Inspiring Towards GodThe Flood narrative stands as one of the most studied and debated events in Genesis. Was it global or regional? The text emphasizes moral cause and divine justice more than geographical scope. Geological evidence—layered sediments, marine fossils on mountains—suggests a massive flood event, even if interpretations differ. The rainbow covenant marks hope, promising that judgment will never again destroy all life.6 views 1 comment -
The Image of God: Humanity’s Divine Blueprint
Inspiring Towards GodGenesis 1 declares that humanity was made in the image of God—a truth that sets us apart from every other creature. It’s not biology that defines us but divine imprint. Our capacity for morality, love, creativity, and reason reveals something beyond evolution—it reveals purpose. While evolution explains adaptation, it cannot explain the origin of morality or the longing for eternity. The image of God does. Theological anthropology teaches that being human means bearing God’s likeness and representing His authority on earth.5 views -
The Framework of Creation: Order, Purpose, and Design
Inspiring Towards GodGenesis 1 presents not chaos but divine order—each day builds upon the next with precision and intent. The structure reveals both artistry and intelligence, pointing to a Designer who values purpose. Modern science shows a universe fine-tuned for life. From the balance of gravity to the delicacy of molecular bonds, everything points to order rather than accident. Each day of creation highlights a system that functions with perfection—light, atmosphere, land, life, and rest—mirroring both physical and spiritual balance. The concept of intelligent design doesn’t oppose science—it expands it, showing that behind complexity is meaning.6 views -
In the Beginning: God and the Origin of Everything
Inspiring Towards GodThe opening verse of Genesis isn’t just ancient poetry—it’s a declaration of ultimate reality: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” This single verse answers humanity’s oldest questions—where did everything come from, why does it exist, and who stands behind it all? Modern cosmology affirms the universe had a beginning. Anything that begins must have a cause—and Scripture reveals that cause as a personal, eternal, intelligent Creator. Light appears before the sun, moon, and stars—showing that God Himself is the source of light and order. The Word spoke, and energy obeyed. While theories like the Big Bang describe the mechanism, Scripture reveals the reason—love, purpose, and divine intent. Genesis doesn’t conflict with science; it gives science meaning.6 views
