Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…

Recently God Talk Radio (GTR) was sent the question of whether or not we should be worrying about the battle between the Creationism and Evolution theories. Is this a small issue that we are making too big or is this an issue that is not big enough?

I agree that there are many small matters that we as Christians should not sweat. That if we keep our lives centered on Christ and our noses in the Bible that we will find many of our problems are not as big as initially thought. But I do believe that the Creationism / Evolution issue is not a small one.

Believing in Creationism is not just about saying that you believe Evolution is wrong but mostly about testifying that our God is infinitely big and is intimately involved in every aspect of our lives from the decisions we have to make from day to day to the way our pinky toe nail grows.

We at GTR believe that God is the Creator and that He created us. We believe that God is proactive in our lives and in everything that happens here on Earth and everywhere in the Universe. Every blade of grass, every twig, every breath of wind, and every person are all directed by our Sovereign Lord who works all things according to His purposes.

Believing in Evolution is, in essence, saying that we are all just matter in motion. You are saying that there may be a God, but he doesn’t really care; all he did was get the ball rolling, then sit back and watch. If that is the case then nothing we do has any consequences because our lives have no purpose or meaning.

If we are just matter in motion then what does it matter that we are in motion?

My God is bigger than this. And by realizing that God is our Creator, we are recognizing that He has the ability and authority to do whatever He pleases with His world and all that is in it. With a God that can create all things with just words, then there truly is nothing that is impossible for Him.
