Good morning friends,
Quote of the week:
It is a mistake to ask, “what caused God?” Because, by definition, God is uncaused. God could not be “caused”, and still be God. Asking what caused God is essentially a nonsense question, namely “what caused the uncaused Creator of the universe?” – Evidence That Demands a Verdict

- Does the Bible Tell Christians to Judge Not? | Answers in Genesis – Many people conclude that making judgments on anyone (especially coming from Christians) is wrong because the Bible says ”judge not” (Matthew 7:1). We live in a world that increasingly strives to (supposedly) promote the idea of tolerance, but actually becomes intolerant of Christian absolutes as it does so. Whether it involves religion, behavior, or human sexuality, there is a growing anti-Christian sentiment in America and other Western nations. Ultimately, built into this “tolerance” is the concept that truth is determined by each individual, not by God. This has led many people to conclude that making judgments on anyone (especially coming from Christians) is wrong because the Bible says ”judge not” (Matthew 7:1). Interestingly enough, those who reject the notion of God or the credibility of the Bible often attempt to use God’s Word (e.g., by quoting verses out of context) to excuse their actions when they are presented with the gospel and the plight of sinners for rejecting it.: https://answersingenesis.org/bible-questions/does-the-bible-tell-christians-to-judge-not/
- 4 Ways Questions Keep You Safe in Scary Conversations – Talking with others about controversial, volatile topics like the gospel is scary. I get it. It scares me, too.

Questions keep me safe. I want to give you four ways questions can increase your margin of safety, too, while still providing a great opportunity for you to make a difference.: https://www.str.org/w/4-ways-questions-keep-you-safe-in-scary-conversations
- Isn’t it obvious? Natural selection can eliminate, but never create! · Creation.com – Candid evolutionists have publicly recognized the obvious: natural selection is a process of elimination, not creation. Many proponents of evolution repeatedly cite examples of natural selection as evidence of evolution-i.e. evidence of the sorts of processes that could have turned microbes into man, given enough time. Often the terms ‘natural selection’ and ‘evolution’ are used interchangeably, as if they were synonymous.: https://creation.com/en/articles/natural-selection-can-eliminate-never-create
