What do you think, Evolution or Creation? The majority of the “scientifically educated” community believes in theories such as the “Big Bang Theory” and “ Darwin ’s Theory on Evolution”. But what is a Theory? To Explain a Theory you first have to realize the pattern those ‘scientists’ have to go through before it becomes a Theory. The first step is a simple thought, idea, or opinion about something. The second step is called a thesis and a thesis is a proposition to be proved or advanced without proof. The last and final step is a Theory which is defined as a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena. Did you notice that not one of these steps must involve truth? It doesn’t have to be true to be accepted as a Theory, but yet they enforce teaching the theories of evolution in school. Now do you really want to teach someone something if you don’t know if it’s true? Jus...

In Matthew 19:21- Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” Jesus was not asking a lot from this individual, just like he doesn’t ask much of individuals today. However he asks that he humbled himself. This is one thing that individuals today still have a problem with. However In Matthew 19:23-24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. “And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God .” We all know that not all rich people rightfully inherited their riches. Greed is one thing that can make any person not enter the kingdom of God . Matthew 19:25-26 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus lo...

The following is a skit which was designed for a youth devotional. (In the Knox County Area some of the smaller congregations are trying to get their youth together at least once a month) The skit is based off the hit series CSI "Las Vegas." Using the same characters I developed the following story concerning the crucifixion of Christ. I went to the web and found pictures for overhead projector which would assist in better visualization. I have included them in the attachments. I realize we in the church do not promote such dramatics as what you will be reading. However we do use such methods during VBS. Feel free to use this material in any way that may encourage your youth to come closer to Jesus. ~Kirk The CSI unit has been teleported backward through time. Not knowing what else to do, they begin doing their job of Crime Scene Investigators. Brass is looking over a body (covered up). The M.E. is on the scene knelt down by body with a probe in the body.
