Our readings in this series are from the book, Understanding the Times. Here is a brief excerpt from pages 93 and 94:
“The secular and naturalistic view of the cosmos and human behavior does not comport well with what the Bible teaches, as we might expect. The Bible teaches that all creation exists and is upheld by the power and for the pleasure of God Almighty, and that He rules over all men and judges them according to His holy and righteous and good Law. Far from being detached from the cosmos and men, or at best, only remotely involved in their daily processes and activities, God is intimately, continuously, comprehensively, and personally engaged with the creation in all its parts.
“The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it. The world is the Lord’s field, which He is working and preparing toward the coming day of harvest. The heavens and even the heaven of heavens belong to Him. He is in through, over, and beyond all creation, and all creation exists in Him and serves His purposes according to His will.
“The Bible consistently speaks of the works of the Lord as matters for His people to understand and remember. The works of the Lord are comprehensive of all reality and all its functions, and they speak to us of the character and purpose of God. Whatever the findings of science, and no matter how deeply scientists probe the very fabric of the creation, or politicians extend their tentacles into more and more of our lives, Christians must not allow the promoters of the secular agenda to have the last word on how and why the cosmos is the way it is or should be, or what the role of God is or should be in that vast theatre. To us falls the duty of understanding, delighting in, and declaring the works of God, and of working with the Son of Man in His labors, so that God may receive the praise and honor which are His due.”
