The True Truth About Politics, Preachers and the Young Earth Option

"True Truth" is a Schaefferism. He used the term "true truth" to describe absolute, objective reality and truth that exists independent of human opinion, grounded in the existence of an infinite-personal God who has revealed himself - the God who is there and is not silent.  It stands in contrast to relativism as in "true for you, but not for me."

Francis Schaeffer is known for popularizing the idea of a Christian Worldview:

Let us consider these wise words from Charlie Kirk:

 

"If you've ever watched my radio show or seen me speak, you know that I have a problem with a lot of Christian pastors. In one word, they're cowards. ... America's story is a Christian story, one of resilience, redemption, and revival. With your help, America's next chapter won't be one of final collapse, but of its greatest-ever triumph."

(from the Forward, Killing America by Gene & Teri Bailey, pp. 17,19)

I got to hear John Stonestreet last month at OCU in Edmond. He's with the Colson Center and you may have heard his BreakPoint on the radio.  He spoke on some basic foundations for a Christian Worldview.  We had a short chat during one of the breaks.

One great evidence for an Intelligent Designer is the Total Eclipse of the Sun!

If you are not sure why a total solar eclipse is so significant, I would recommend the documentary "The Privileged Planet":

Stonestreet and Os Guinness, who spent time with Francis Schaeffer, put out an A+ film "Truth Rising" recently that I highly recommend:

Now to the News ...

In El Paso, a flight ban was issued for ten days for air travel under 18K feet which began on FEB 10th.

An eyewitness described a  "mothership" releasing smaller objects from beneath.

There were also claims of disruptive drones from South of the Border.

Are UFO's invading the US?

When I think of UFO's, I think of Star Trek and Star Wars - which one is your fave?

Interestingly, there's a connection with El Paso, I've driven thru there a couple times but never visited.  Gene Roddenberry (d. 1991), of Star Trek fame, was born in El Paso and was a pilot in WWII.  Speaking of Aliens, I wrote a warning regarding the Pixar flop "ELIO."

>> Nippon News >>

A few months before his assassination, Charlie Kirk visited Japan and warned that mass migration was seeking to “replace and eradicate Japan by bringing in Indonesians, by bringing in Arabs, by bringing in Muslims.”

Japan has more than 100 mosques and over 400,000 Muslims.

95% of Japanese voters oppose Muslim mass migration.

Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, former drummer in a heavy metal band,  may take decisive action.

One of my passions is arguing for the Young Earth view from History and Science:

In July of last year, The Honorable Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War, visited Christ Church in DC:

More about Christ Church:

Jesus' AGE verses: Mk. 10:6, Mk. 13:19-20, Lk. 11:50,51.

 

Doug Wilson helped establish the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC) of which Christ Church - DC is aligned.

Wilson is Young Earth:

Now, I do not know where Secretary Hegseth stands on the Age-of-the-Earth controversy, but it's interesting that he was willing to visit a church with shades of a youthful world. ☺☺

New Saint Andrews College (associated w/ CREC) takes a strict stance on creation in six real days - see the "Creation" topic:

** What About Kentucky? **

The Boston Herald published a cool article on the Ark Encounter last year titled, "With a massive ark and museum, he [Ken Ham] spreads creationism a century after [the]  Scopes trial. [and] He’s not alone" by Peter Smith (AP):

A 2024 Gallup poll found that 37% of U.S. adults agreed with the statement, “God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so.”

 

A year ago I posted a poll on LinkedIn on the Age of the Earth.

It has over 2800 views.   It is not a Statistically Correct poll, but the results are interesting.  30% hold that this planet is 8K years old or younger:

I would like to close with some words from the Gadsby Hymnal (#775):

My God, when I reflect

 How, all my life-time past,

 I ran the roads of sin and death

 With rash impetuous haste,

My foolishness I hate;

 My filthiness I loathe;

 And view, with sharp remorse and shame,

 My filth and folly both. ...

And dost thou still regard,

 And cast a gracious eye

 On one so foul, so base, so blind,

 So dead, so lost, as I?

Then sinners black as hell

 May hence for hope have ground;

 For who of mercy needs despair,

 Since I have mercy found?
