According to the established system of historical geology, the history of the earth is divided into a number of geological ages. The earth is supposed to have evolved into its present basic structure about five billion years ago. Certain increasingly complex chemicals in the primeval ocean, acted upon by electrical forces in the atmosphere, acquired […]

SCHOOL UNIFORMS?…YES Occasionally voices are heard from among our Christian School supporters mildly suggesting the possibility of having the students, especially the girls, wear uniforms. These voices are seldom bold or authoritative, rather they set forth their opinion timidly, even apologetically. Perhaps to some the word “uniform” sounds too rigid, too militaristic.

In our previous article we divided the discussion of evolution into the following propositions: 1. Matter has existed from eternity. 2. The earth and at least some stars are billions of years old. 3.

The blend of industry, genius and mock-heroics that goes into many of these campus jinks can be highly amusing. This attitude […]

In the past century and a half modern man has been thoroughly indoctrinated with the notion that natural law, not a personal God, controls the world. The apostle Peter stated that “there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming?” (II Peter 3:4). Such men […]

Let’s state at the beginning that the Bible is the infallible Word of God. Then many questions raised when evolution is discussed are automatically settled. For example, the believer of an infallible Bible knows that man has a soul and that animals do not. He also knows the first woman was derived from the body of […]

Scripture: Genesis 1:26–30 Genesis 2:18–25               Background: There are basically but two ways of looking at the home: the Christian and the non-Christian view.
