I Believe In Evolution Alright

What about Evolution?

Evolution is a real process. Does that surprise some of you--that a adamant believer of the Gospel would say that? Let me explain.

I’ll start with Daniel 4:33: The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

Evolution is not only by intelligent design, it is also by a loving God. Let’s look at how it works.

The account above tells of evolution’s benefits that this loving God designed. Because Nebuchadnezzar had to live in the field and eat grass his body adjusted and he developed what was needed to survive. Feathers and bird claws evolved. This is not a case for the atheistic theory of evolution--it is a case for a loving God who has provided adaptation.

What happens to an unattended field? It grows over with weeds, thorns, and nettles. But if an intelligent loving being cares for it, it evolves into a place bountiful in blessings.

What happens to a house that is left uncared for? It gradually deteriorates and eventually falls apart. This goes for car and everything that has been created by man. It take man caring about it to keep it in good repair. If neglected, things waste away to nothing. It could be said that they evolve into junk. The evidence is substantial.

What happens to a house that is loving and intelligently designed, built, and maintained? It gradually evolves into a beautiful, functional home.

Children when raised by caring parents evolve into useful contributing adults. What would happen to a child if there were no intelligent being and no nurturing in its life? It would evolve into a mess. There are cases of children growing up with wolves or practically on their own-- They could not function as reasoning human beings without rehabilitation. It takes loving people many years to help these children evolve into persons who can function well.

The human body grows and by the time it reaches adulthood all the equipment required for it to function correctly has evolved. It could not be an accident that the things needed for adulthood are there at the right time. What is wrong with the theory of evolution is not evolution, but the mentally defective idea that something could evolve into something better without the design and help of a caring God!

Are You Biblical?

A biblical Christian has repented of their sin and of doing things their way. They have asked God to forgive them and have asked Jesus to come into their heart and be their Lord and Savior.

They learn from the Bible that God’s plan of salvation includes entering into Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. They are glad to hear that all they have to do is live by faith--faith that their old man or carnal nature is crucified and faith that they have been resurrected from the dead and given new life--the life of Christ.

They understand that Jesus is the blueprint and He will recreate them in His image as they yield to Him.

They have a game plan and that is to spend each day listening to and learning from the Lord.

They renew their mind with the Holy Bible and have a servant’s heart toward God. They take pleasure in loving, witnessing, and ministering to people o9f all walks of life because Jesus lives in them and they are a member of His body and therefore happily do His thing.

They have been relieved of the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust for other things. Their life is hid with Christ in God. This world is not their home. Their burden is light and their yoke is easy. They have a glorious and eternal future. For now, they are willing to suffer rather than to fail to please God, if it is necessary to their particular ministry.

They practice looking in the mirror of the Word and when they walk away, they remember what they look like because they are doers of the Word.

The put on the full armor of God and stand against the enemy.

They long to congregate with like-minded people so that, as a body, they can help one another live, move, and have their being, in Christ.

They abhor the thought of a worldly church and understand that the church is built upon the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone. And they understand that God ordained the church to be a place where Christians urge one another on to love and good works.

That church is a tight-knit group of like-minded people who walk by the spirit and not by the flesh. They operate the same as the human body--all having their unique function, yet always working as a unit, being single-minded on serving the Lord.

The Purpose of Raising Them Up

When God raises up a ruler, He has a purpose for them. Their choices will determine their purpose and their future. Let’s look at Ezek: 30:21-26: Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword. 22: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand. 23: And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. 24: And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man. 25: But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. 26: And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

(Why would God raise up the king of Egypt and why would He put him down and raise up the King of Babylon, after all neither of these kings belonged to God? They were not one of His. That’s what we are going to find out.)

Ezek: 31:1-14: And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2: Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness? 3: Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. 4: The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field. 5: Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth. 6: All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations. 7: Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters. 8: The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. 9: I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him. 10: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height; 11: I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness. 12: And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him. 13: Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches: 14: To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.

(According to Ezekiel 31, God raised up the king of Egypt so that the oppressed and weak would have a place to go for refuge in their time of trouble. Israel went to Egypt different times. Abram, later Abraham went to Egypt, Isaac went to Egypt and Joseph, Jesus’ father, went to Egypt to save Jesus’ life.

Why Pharaoh? My guess is because he was in the right place at the right time for God to use him and God knew he would not oppress the people.

Why did God use him for a while and then judge him and take him out? It shows in these passages that Pharaoh got a big head. He got puffed up and according to what it says in verse 11, Pharaoh must have misused his power after he began to think more highly of himself than he ought. He apparently did what all corrupt rulers do, he concentrated on pleasing himself above all else, therefore he became an oppressor.

Why would God raise up the king of Babylon? Babylon has always been a bad influence on God’s people. Because God deemed that a lesson needed to be taught to all and that is revealed in verse 14. He wants the world to know that He alone is God and no one should think more highly of himself than that which he know to be true, which is he or she is a mere man and without God they are as grass that is here today and gone tomorrow.

God is teaching this lesson again. This is why Babylon or Babylonian thinking is taking over the world today. It is for the purpose of teaching another lesson in hearkening unto God and no other. Any teaching that is not Biblical is Babylonian and will come to naught along with all those who do not repent of that way of thinking. "If life has knocked you down,
