As Open Door Communication Ministries, Inc. enters into our 34th year and organizational unit, Strong Man Ministries its 14th, my plate is very full with much to do. While it has been so personally enriching and I pray helpful to you for me as the Lord has led to spend a great amount of time writing longer posts, I must throttle back to make room for other responsibilities and activities that are making important demands on my time. Therefore, as of this edited post and until you see otherwise, I will be re-posting shorter, but I believe still very thoroughly thought provoking posts beginning with this one I made as a brand new blogger in another forum back in 2011 when I still had hope our nation might turn back to God.1

After becoming a Christian, I learned the “invisible hand” of American capitalism could only be God because only His wisdom and power could pull off the theory’s promised benefits. He is the One that gives man the ability to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:11-20) and blesses the nation that trusts in Him (Psalm 33:10-22). It is time for our nation to turn back to God as I call for in my book so He can restore our economy among other things.2
1 The Lord revealed to me the nation had reached the “point of no return” to Him in 2012 and that I should all the more focus on preaching the Gospel and witnessing
Christ so, many of my fellow citizens might be saved as the natural consequences of a “house divided” and His righteous judgment unfold (Matthew 12:25, NKJV).
Read the first mention of a “point of no return” in the July 15, 2015 part one 2012 repost, Powerlessness Of Being The Minority, under the category, Encouragement.
A second mention follows in the October 22, 2017 part two 2013 repost, Mocking The Rainbow, under the category, Biblical Worldview.

“Being a man is not a freak accident of the cosmos!” This is the first statement on the back cover of my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics,1 making clear its content is founded upon the biblical worldview that man has a purposeful Creator! Making such a statement at all is a sad indicator of how far removed Westerners are now in just under 200 years from an understanding of our origin as from God. Thanks to the rise in acceptance of Charles Darwin’s Theory Of Evolution which today, is secular science dogma and the worldview of many coming out of our nation’s educational system, the biblical worldview of creation is deemed inferior religious babble.
While I am sympathetic toward those Christians that want to try and build a bridge between the two contradictory and competing worldviews because they believe the arguments of secular science are just too demonstratively persuasive, God in my heart and His Word cry out not so fast (did David acquiesce or seek détente with Goliath who was larger than he and out gunned him--1 Samuel 17:33-47?)!2 True enough our mission in Christ is to preach the Gospel about and witness Him. But we are not to do these things while also finding a common ground of acceptance with falsehood, open rebellion against God and apostasy. We must stand firm on the truth of God’s Word as it is written!
Evolution as a competing worldview to biblical Christianity is falsehood raised up in open rebellion against God and apostasy since many that have adhered to it from a Judeo-Christian background from the earliest days of its appearance have had to reject some or all of what is written in His Word about Him and creation. As Jesus showed with the Sadducees, rejecting any of the inspired Word about God, His abilities or deeds, leaves one in a state of spiritual ignorance and without repentance, eternal deadness (Matthew 22:23-33, 23:29-33)! To declare that the physical universe came into being out of nothing and no source cause is the height of folly (Psalm 14:1-4).
However, the Bible in its first words emphatically declares: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” (Genesis 1:1, NKJV). God Himself is quoted as declaring: ‘“I am the Lord, who makes all things, who stretches out the heavens all alone, who spreads abroad the earth by Myself,’” (Isaiah 44:24b, NKJV). Science with the endorsement of some professed Christians also says the universe unfolded and evolution took place on earth over millions of years. But God in His Word says He created everything in six literal days (Exodus 20:8-11, 31:16-17). Are you now, so lofty in these latter days, O man, that you call God a liar who says He created all and in six days?
But even as you are so wicked and getting worse leading to one that will boldly be your voice as foretold (Psalm 2:1-3; 2 Timothy 3:13; Revelation 13:1-6), your own science betrays you as the liar. For example, evolutionists fail to appreciate the profound impact man’s sin, God’s consequence of death and related curse on the ground has had on all creation! Indeed, not only does man die, but decay and ruin attend to our bodies to such extent now, the average age of death is dropping below 70 compared to Methuselah who lived 969 years (Genesis 5:25-27).3 Also, the evidence of God’s handiwork is not only all around, but in you as He recently led me to write (Romans 1:18-19).4
The whole field of genetic research is uncovering how most living things are biologically programmed by genes and their informational substance, DNA. This being so, such purposeful programming requires an intelligent programmer. Try as hard as they might, secular scientists cannot logically give credit to non-sentient “mother nature” for the wonder of genetic programming since how can what is not alive itself program that which lives?5 No, but God who eternally lives and created the heavens and earth with their order and design features along with all living things to fulfill the purposes and functions He programmed in them is the Programmer (Genesis 1:2-31; Job 38-41)!6
Thus, man is purposely made in God’s image and likeness as His highest creation and is not a freak accident of something coming out of nothing then evolving (Genesis 1:26). From the dust of the earth the Almighty God created him to live before Him as an eternal son (Genesis 2:7). Knowing all things, God would not be foiled or frustrated when the creature of His love fell and came under judgment. Instead, before there was ever a creation, it had already been decided that Jesus Christ would come and be man’s Deliverer from sin by taking the penalty of death upon Himself. Now, because of Him, man can be restored to obtain the eternal destiny God created him for (Romans 5:6-11, 16:25-27; 2 Timothy 1:8-12; Titus 1:1-3; Hebrews 2:5-18; Revelation 21:1-8).7 So, then, whose report will you believe: fallen men or God’s?

2 For this reason, brothers in Christ such as Ken Ham and David Rives should be celebrated in the Body of Christ today for their courage in politely, yet, vigorously
standing up to the giant god of evolution and its secular science devotees. These Christian men of science affirm its exciting proper role in discovering, observing, re-
cording, being astounded by and celebrating God’s handiwork when guided by His Word!
3 Google “average age of death.” The heavens and earth under death and the curse show the same kind of rapid and devastating decay (aging) mankind does over a
very short approximately 6,000 year span dating by the Bible would indicate (see article at Answers In Genesis) and doctrinally affirm (Psalm 102:23-27; Hebrews 1:
10-12). Therefore, the dating methods of science that use the actual elements of the creation to measure the passage of time, for example, are flawed from the outset
since these elements have been aged and are aging in accord with God imposed death and His curse. The power of God to rapidly ruin to death is displayed by Jesus
Christ (Mark 11:12-14, 20-22)! Even so, to the glory of God who subjected the creation to death and His curse, it and we in Christ first have hope of soon deliverance
through Him (Psalm 102:28; Romans 8:18-25; 1 John 2:15-17)!

5 They instead, illogically and idolatrously give the glory of biological programming to “mother nature” on faith as a false religious invention while purposely suppressing
the truth of God (Romans 1:18)!
6 God is not only the Programmer, but the active Controller of His creation to include its natural elements, supernatural creatures, ruinous afflictions of death and death
itself (Mark 4:35-5).
