Creation with A Purpose - Thursday, March 08, 2007
Genesis 1:14-19
“The Darwinism belief that humans and all living things are nothing more than an accident of history, cosmically inconsequential bundles of stardust adrift in an infinite, purposeless universe” – is a belief that is now widely embraced within the scientific community.
Harvard Paleontologist, George Gaylord Simpson asserted “Man is the result of a purposeless and natural process that did not have him in mind”. (full message)

Who is your foundation? - Tuesday, February 20, 2007
Genesis 1:9-13
The great Roman Emperor, Augustus Caesar once proudly declared about the Transformation he had brought on Rome in these lines “I found it brick, but I left it marble”.
The creation story as recorded in first two chapters of the Genesis bears witness to God’s transforming power. No man can remain the same after coming in contact with the living and life-changing God. Whomsoever or whatsoever God touches, changes, changes for the better. What did God create on the third day? – He did three significant things which have an edifying value for all of us. (full message)

What is your next? - Thursday, February 01, 2007
Genesis 1:1-6
In verse 6 “And God said……..”. After light what is next?
Mind that there was no man to see God to tell God what to create and how to create.
It was the 13th century king Alfonso X, king of Castille, instructed by a Jewish Rabbi said, “if I had been of God’s counsel at the creation, many things would have been ordered better”. How presumptuous the king was!
Job in his epilogue makes a crystal clear comment on God’s sovereignty in these words: “I know that You can do all things, no plan Yours will be thwarted [Job 42:2]”. (full message)

And there was light... - Wednesday, January 17, 2007
And God said ‘Let there be light’ – and there was light... Genesis 1:3
We have already seen that, the Light, Christ, has come to dispel darkness.display things around us to enable us to see things in the proper light.and to direct our steps back toward God from whom we have gone astray.
And now, the baffling question is, why, then, the world seems to be still in darkness of incredible proportions. Has the darkness overcome the light? Never! Is the light flickering and dying? No! There are three things we should take into consideration. They are: Sin, Satan and Saints (full message)

Light Directs - Tuesday, January 09, 2007
And God said ‘Let there be light’ – and there was light... Genesis 1:3
We have already seen that light dispels darkness; light displays things around us; and also light directs us in our path.
There is a citation from the book of Isaiah in Matthew 4:16 which reads "the people living in darkness have seen a great light. On those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.
Isaiah 53:6 sums up the human predicament without being guided by the love and grace of God as ‘like sheep we have all gone astray’.
Sheep, unlike birds, have no homing instinct. They can only loose their direction and way and cannot, on their own, find their way back to their fold or pen, unless the shepherd goes for them and brings them back to their fold. (full message)

Light displays things - Monday, January 01, 2007
And God said ‘Let there be light’ – and there was light... Genesis 1:3
Light not only dispels darkness of sin from our fallen lives but also displays the things which we, otherwise, cannot see in our blindness.
The great mind of C. S. Lewis made a very insightful observation once, he said "I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else".
When we have the light of Christ in our hearts we see the world a lot better and brighter. We see the world differently if Christ, the light, shines in our hearts. (full message)

Light dispels darkness - Sunday, December 10, 2006
And God said ‘Let there be light’ – and there was light... Genesis 1:3
Blaise Pascal, the 17th century French philosopher wrote in his book of 'Thoughts', "Man does not know the place he should occupy. He has obviously gone astray. He has fallen from his true place and cannot find again, He searches everywhere anxiously, but in vain, in the midst of impenetrable darkness".
Why did God create light on the first day? God, in His unfathomable wisdom, saw that it was good to create light on the first day. God could have created so many other things instead of light on the first day. Then the obvious question is why? (full message)

Gen 1:3-5 – God said... - Sunday, November 26, 2006
Genesis 1:3-5
Once when I was pasturing a village congregation about 100 miles south of Chennai, Tamilnadu, India, I had an interesting, but a bit discomforting encounter with a village boy on a town bus.
I was tired out after a gospel outreach program in a village about 10 miles from where I stayed. I was on a crowded town bus. A boy with a broad smile came squeezing through the crowd and with a grin said "Sir (after seeing the Bible in my hand), can I ask you something?". I said "Yes!" – he continued, "What did God create on the first day?" – pat came my reply "Light". He quickly asked "What did God create on the 4th day?". I smartly replied "The two great lights – the sun and the moon". (full message)

Gen 1:1-3 – God said … - Sunday, November 19, 2006
Genesis 1:1-3
How did God create the universe? – by His Word! "He looked into the Torah and created the world" (Midrash). Ten times in the first chapter of Genesis, the expression on "God said" occurs (Genesis 1:3,6,9,11,14,20,24,26,28,29).
At the very outset of the Bible, we are given a clear understanding of the inextricable commingling of the Word of God (1:3) and the Spirit of God (1:2). You can’t separate the one from the other. They operate in unison. The creative Word, the Word that created the universe in Genesis 1:3, became an incarnate Word (John 1:1,14) through whom the corrupted and chaotic human heart is miraculously transformed into a new creation (II Corinthians 5:17).

Genesis 1:2 - Now the earth was formless… - Sunday, November 12, 2006
John Calvin calls it "confused emptiness".
In Jeremiah 4:23 and Isaiah 34:10-11, Both Jeremiah and Isaiah underline the dreadful sense of the waste and chaos like a trackless desert when God’s creative word is not bringing order. In the beginning, created world lacked order and shape.
I am reminded of a joke in which a doctor, an engineer and a politician were debating as to whose profession was the oldest. (full message)
