Thankful for Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis

We recently had our local Homeschool Book Fair and Convention.  One of the speakers was Ken Ham from Answers in Genesis.  His presentation was an eye-OPENER for me.

I became a Christian at the age of 12 in a small town in Colorado.  Shortly after my baptism I moved back to Texas and did not really have an opportunity to go to church until I became an adult, unless I went with friends.

So although, I became a Christian at the age of 12, I was not really raised in a Bible believing, Christian home.  I knew I loved Jesus, and I knew he died for me, and I sensed He had His hand on my from the day I was born.  But I was very ignorant about the Bible.

At the age of 18, I started attending church again and devoted myself to seeking His heart.  I have had many ups and downs on my journey (mostly due to my own poor choices), but I hope to always stay on the narrow path!  Anyhow, it was at this time that Creationism was presented to me.  I had no problem accepting that the Bible was the inerrant Word of God and a source of True History.  In fact, it was far more easy for me to accept Creationism than Evolution.  So for the past 10 years, I have been a firm believer in Creation, and in a young earth.

However, being in public schools had trained my thought processes toward a more secular view.  Little things that I still thought of as truth or science are not actually in line with Biblical history.

This is why I am thankful for Ken Ham and the mission of Answers in Genesis.  His talk revealed to me secular viewpoints I still held and I didn't even realize I held.  I thank God for AiG and want everyone to visit their website.  Hear Ken Ham and the other men and women that share their hearts with wisdom to any that will hear.  It has motivated me again to study Genesis and the Bible and to believe the Lord will reveal truth to me.

The history of Creation is beautiful.  Read about it again.  Read Psalm 139.  We have an awesome Creator, do not deny Him!


P.S.  Yesterday my ballerina (4) was sick with a fever of 102.  She was tired most of the day.  At one point, she sat up, got a piece of paper, and illustrated the story of creation to her little sister.  It was beautiful to watch, and brought me to tears. I pray that my children will grow with the freedom the Word of God provides.
