In the beginning

I realized the Creator wants me to publish some of the wonderful truths He has blessed me with regarding His Word and character, and how important it is to share His truth for the sake of others. The reason I am to do so is to enable you, Gentle Reader, to defend youself and others with the Creator's truth.

The title for this entry came from our conviction Genesis chapter one is meant to be read as a partial account of the creation of the heavens and the earth from nothing "in the beginning", followed by the completion of the heavens and the earth over six periods of unknown length ending with the creation of mankind [day-age theory].

I have been resisting that calling to publish in selfish disobedience since He began clearly revealing His truth to me in 1994. Understand the seriousness of that disobedience: God's Word is Life itself to those who find it, a Life lived fully in joy and peace beyond earthly measure - and I have not only resisted sharing the Life He has given me as He wants, I have not even been baptised since God brought me to Him and according to His command. The first consequence of disobeying is of course that you have no confidence that prayers will be answered.

One of the reasons this blog is being started now, is I have given myself the deadline of publishing a rough draft about something of consequence before I am baptised July 30th.

My son, pay attention to my words;
listen closely to my sayings.
Don't lose sight of them;
keep them within your heart.
For they are life to those who find them,
and health to one's whole body.
Guard your heart above all else,
for it is the source of life.
Don't let your mouth speak dishonestly,
and don't let your lips talk deviously.
(Proverbs 4:20-24 HCSB)
