In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1, ESV). Long before the first clock started ticking — mostly because the concept of “time” hadn’t been invented yet — the celestial breakroom was buzzing with a rather ridiculous rumor. The Boss was supposedly working on an ambitious new startup project. He was calling

By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible (Hebrews 11:3, ESV). I’m grateful for science. The technology from science enables my thoughts to be transferred to a keyboard, to other bits of hardware, to computer programs, and,

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible (Colossians 1:15-16a, ESV). Charles Darwin published his book On the Origin of Species on November 24, 1859. The first edition sold out on the day of its release. The book proposed that

By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen (Hebrews 11:3, NLT). There is a known fact of creation that nobody understands. Let me explain this “known fact” in Pastor Grant’s terminology, which will likely further confuse

For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:8, ESV).

I became acquainted with Dr. Paul Brand because he co-wrote a book with Philip Yancey entitled Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. Paul Brand was a hand surgeon who pioneered hand reconstructive surgery with

Blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear (Matthew 13:16, ESV). I read a sermon once with this quote, “Stop seeking mental health in the mirror of self-analysis, but instead drink in the remedies of God in nature.” Not to demean counseling, but too many of us spend time in

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it (Psalm 139:14, NLT). After one of my many youthful indiscretions, my mother said, “Use your entire brain, Grant!” A teacher told me after one of my high school pranks, “Sometimes you need to use the other half of your

For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God (Romans 8:19, ESV). In this one verse – Romans 8:19 – the Apostle Paul summarizes what our attitude toward the environment should be. I’ve been a part of conservative theology my entire life. Often, I get the implication from believers’ comments

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:2). In reading a book, every now and again, I come across a chapter in which I’m so enthralled that most of the chapter gets marked in yellow. I then lose the emphasis, so I mark some paragraphs in blue and others in orange
