Week 1:
"Hanging on every Word"
Words are one of the most useful and destructive tools in our toolbox.
Proverbs 18:21 NKJV
God has spoken and He's still speaking!
Revelation =
1– divine, supernatural disclosure
2– something revealed by God to mankind
4 ways God speaks to us:
1. General Revelation (Through Creation)
Psalms 33:6-9 NKJV
Here's a thought experiment. Consider something you know is intelligently designed: for example, software code for an app that flies a drone. Now let's describe its "emergence" in Darwinian language…
Once assembly language emerged, it diversified into logic gates of increasing complexity, as crawling robots co-opted various functions for novel adaptations, including powered flight. The coding mechanism driving this spectacular process remains unclear. Through morphological analysis of robots in various stages of development, we identify two logic gates that act as major controllers for the topologies of drone propeller blades. Comparison of early and late drone models identifies three major transformations in drone blade evolution: (i) the appearance of stiff protrusions, (ii) further shaping of the protrusions into vanes, and (iii) specialization of the vanes into airfoils of increasing efficiency. Some of the vanes became grouped into fours separated by right angles. Besides these major transformative events, other morphological features that evolved include controlled rotation, autonomous navigation, communication with a smartphone, and so on.

The same people who underestimate the power and importance of God's word overestimate the power and importance of their own!

"If the baby's DNA in the womb is different than her mother's DNA, how can it be the same body? Roe v. Wade is ANTI-SCIENCE!"
–Eric Metaxas
4. Final Revelation (Through Jesus Christ)
Psalms 33:16-22 NKJV
Hebrews 1:1-3 NKJV
John 19:10-11 NKJV
If our very lives depend on the sustainability of God's Word, shouldn't we seek to live by them too?
