Was it a Week – v5

Was it a week

or more like a million;

We miss the point, in arguing,

It was God who created

God created

the theories conflicting;

How long it took, and

is the universe still in motion

Was it a week

or was it a million;

Does it really matter,

because God created.

That Millisecond of Time – v2

At the very beginning,

that millisecond of time

when the chaos, the deep

was pierced by the light;

When order began to divide

the dark from the light

the waters from the land

the dome, the seas, the skies.

Oh to see creation at that moment

the world and all that came into view

all part of the master’s holy plan

by the breath of God.

His hand, His Spirit,

over the seas, the dry land

all that was to be

revealed in a moment of grace.

Pleased was the Lord,

“good, very good”,

spoken over all God surveyed

the plants, animals too;

The creatures of the deep

those that walked the earth

man and women too

all good, very good.

An ordered universe

out of the void,

that nothingness

the chaos giving way;

The voice of the Creator

spoke all to life;

Resting, taking Sabbath,

when the work was done.

“After watching the debate, my only thought was that

both of them are wrong because they were both

too sure they were right. Bill Nye seems to be saying

the reasonable man can reason it all out and Ken Ham

seems to be saying just read the bible. Neither seems

truly viable. We are arrogant if we thinks we are creators

(i.e. copyrighting DNA code) and we are denying our own eyes

if we say all of this happened in such a short period of time

if you just use a calculator to add of the genealogies in the bible.

We need the Creator and the mind God has given us. We need

to also remember that we only see in part now and that

God's ways are not our ways too.”

in darkness, in light – v4

we forget, we are blind

we are afraid in the dark

we are timid in the light

every day of our lives

do we trust

we think we are alone

that we have been abandoned

that God is not there

that we are alone in the dark

God is with us, present

in every moment, alive,

in darkness, in light

in today, tomorrow

we must trust

God is with us, truly,

each breath, each sound

with us in good times, bad times

ever with us, with us

ever, always

You have given us dominion

in darkness, in light – v3

we forget, we are blind

we are afraid in the dark

we are timid in the light

every day of our life

we think we are alone

that we have been abandoned

that God is not there

that we are alone in the dark

God is with us

in every moment

in darkness, in light

in today, tomorrow

God is with us

each breath, each sound

with us in good times, bad times

ever with us

ever, always

“Al Mohler’s Nihilistic Man vs. Bill Nye’s Reasonable Man”

http://morganguyton.us/2014/02/05/al-mohlers-nihilistic-man-vs-bill-nyes-reasonable-man/#comment-1233568862

“After watching the debate, my only thought was that

both of them are wrong because they were both

too sure they were right. Bill Nye seems to be saying

the reasonable man can reason it all out and Ken Ham

seems to be saying just read the bible. Neither seems

truly viable. We are arrogant if we thinks we are creators

(i.e. copyrighting DNA code) and we are denying our own eyes

if we say all of this happened in such a short period of time

if you just use a calculator to add of the genealogies in the bible.

We need the Creator and the mind God has given us. We need

to also remember that we only see in part now and that

God's ways are not our ways too.”
