Answers In Genesis

Answers in Genesis - what a wonderful name for an organization. I have been a fan and supporter of this ministry for several years. They are prolific in their work to combat the devil's effort to deceive our world. AIG's primary purpose is to defend the absolute trustworthiness of God's Holy Word. They do this by starting with Genesis and defending the accuracy and literal meaning of God's account of history.

Lenexa Baptist Church recently hosted an event with Answers In Genesis's founder Ken Hamm. Dr Gary Parker was there as well and they put on a powerful educational and encouraging conference. Believe it or not, God's Word can be stood on as the foundation of our faith without shame and without fear. God said he created the world and the universe in 6 days, and that is what He did. If you don't believe that and the rest of Genesis - sin, Tower of Babel, the Flood, etc, then the rest of the Bible becomes meaningless. Therefore you better investigate the roots of your beliefs or all is in vain. Believing in a young earth is not what provides salvation, but it is impossible to tell the story why it is important without the right understanding of Genesis.

With all that said, I am so appreciative to be part of Maranatha and the fact that we teach the same beliefs - the same Word of God - that AIG is so forcefully sharing. We are training up our children to have a strong foundation that is unapologetically the Word of God that does not need to be explained away. Make sure you are doing your part to teach and reinforce the trustworthiness of God's account of history in Genesis 1-11.
