Church AAcHENRY PLAINDEALER Section A Wednesday, July 17,1995 Page 11 For Your I reformation """""™1 Church issues God reveals self in creation * Minister Charles R. Swindoll, senior pastor of the First Evangelical Free Church in Fullerton, Calif., is offering an alternative to today's dizzying changes, confusing overchoice and moral uncertainty. "There, are some fixed points and you don't have to be washed away in this tide of confusion," Swindoll says in a new film series called "Strengthening Your Grip." • The series will be screened at the Alliance Church, 3815 W. Bull Valley Rd., McHenry, Sunday, July 28 at 7 p.m. In the first film, which deals with the problem of priorities, Swindoll calls for the recognition of the subtle but essential difference between the important' and the merely urgent. The topic of aging is dealt with in the second film; in the third film, he affirms leisure as an important part of life; ih the fourth, he warns that "too much church can insulate Christians from the real world;" the fifth is on "Attitudes: Choosing the Food You Serve Your Mind," and in the final one, he deals with the crisis of authority which he sees in the land. By Cornelius R. Stam Berean Bible Society ~ Rorhans 1:18-20 declares that God has revealed Himself to man in creation. Not that we can learn His plan of salvation from creation-far from it. But the creation, the beauty of its flowers and sunsets, the sun and rain and crops to supply us with food, the unchangeable laws of nature, all show forth not only the existence of God but His power, His love, His justice, so that man is a responsible being and, as verse 20 says, "without excuse" for the deplorable condition in which he finds himself. A believer, talking with an atheistic evolutionist one day, took out his watch, looked at it and put it back into his pocket, saying: "I have a wonderful watch. I never have to do anything to it, yet it keeps perfect time; it never misses a second." "What make is it?" the atheist asked. "Oh, no make," an swered the Christian. "Well, who manufactured it?" "Oh, nobody; it just put itself together somehow." "Nonsense," said the atheist, "A watch can't just come into existence. Somebody had to design it and somebody had to manufacture it." "True." said the Christian, yet you expect me to believe that this universe, with its billions of stars and planets all working together in perfect order, just came about by itself ; that it had no designer, no creator, and no one who keeps it running? Isn't that nonsense?" No wonder Paul says that the godless are "without excuse," including even the vast majority of 'religious' people, who salve their conscience by giving a small part of each week or each day to the performance of some religious rite, but keep God out of their businesses.
