In The Beginning

In the beginning, God created all things (Genesis 1). As the Creator or Author of those things, He had authority over them and formulated the laws and rules by which they were to operate. God also created mankind (Genesis 2:7, 21-22). As such, He has authority over men and women and, by both spoken and written Word, has proclaimed the commands and requirements by which they should live and thrive. However, over the centuries, mankind has grown more and more insistent that it alone has the right to make up the laws that govern the human race. Throughout the Bible people have tried to wrest the mantle of governmental authority from the merciful and loving shoulders of God and to place it on the greedy and ambitious shoulders of men. Even though cultural preferences have changed, the word and will of God have not. Even though religious values have declined, the word and will of God have not. Even though moral values have plummeted, the word and will of God have not. Help for this world is cannot be found in education, religion, science, secular humanism, or government. It can only be found by returning to the values established by God, learning His word, obeying His will, and following His way.
