Standing Against The Ecumenical Monoculture

God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines Of never failing skill He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints fresh courage take, The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head.

Judge not the LORD by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flow’r.

Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain; GOD is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

The Presuppositionality of All Things Part 2

In my previous post, I established that God and His word must be the root source of everything we as Christians do. Even actions as mundane and commonplace as eating and drinking should be done to the glory of God (I Corinthians 10:31).

For quite some time I have been annoyed with the large amounts of reverends, bishops, priests, and Christians who still write our local newspaper and claim that Intelligent Design promotes a religious belief while evolution is a religiously autonomous truth. There are no religiously autonomous truths; its root source is either God and His Word or it is something else.

Evolution presupposes the scientific process as both preceding and validating all truth. This is a religious claim because it presupposes something other than God as ultimate. “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen” (Romans 11:36). All truth is from God; truth cannot exist apart from God. God created every truth. To presuppose something other than God as the root source for anything is idolatrous and evolution is just that.
