Don’t Fall for Satan’s Gaslighting!
The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Psalm 19:1
Satan, the master gaslighter, has led much of the world to an alternate “reality.” He has managed to convince untold millions of people that either A) there is no God, or B) if there is, we can’t know anything for certain about him, or C) if there is a God, he certainly did not create the world in six natural days.
These lies are irrational on their face. It is foolish to believe that life came from dead things, and that the unimaginably complex world around us happened by accident. “For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.” (Hebrews 3:4) It is foolish to believe that a God who is powerful enough to create this world would fail to reveal himself to us. “No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.” (John 1:18) It is foolish to believe that this all-powerful God was unable to do what he said he did at creation. “For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.” (Exodus 20:11)
Foolish, yes, yet many people have abandoned the Bible because they are sure that so-called science has proved it to be wrong. Don’t fall for Satan’s gaslighting! Even if the whole wicked world considers God’s Word to be “anti-science,” don’t listen. Instead, follow our loving Savior, Jesus, who did not say “In the beginning a giant explosion spawned the universe, life happened by accident, and people descended from lower life forms.” Our Savior does not lie, and he said: “He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female.’” (Matthew 19:4)
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed,
Then sings my soul, my Savior-God to Thee,
"How great Thou art! How great Thou art!"
Then sings my soul, my Savior-God to Thee,
"How great Thou art! How great Thou art!"
