2020 FOCUSED

Matt Miles • January 23, 2020

In 2020 our theme for the year is FOCUSED. We are FOCUSED here at CTF on TRUE Origin, TRUE Purpose, TRUE Identity and TRUE Destiny. So, I challenge you to be focused on the truth in 2020.

The Darwinian evolution explanation that tries to support origin of life issues is on increasingly unstable ground. The observable reality found in true science is that there is no evidence explaining the origin of life from a pure evolutionary worldview. It is becoming more and more clear that the consensus “science” being used by evolutionists continues to fail them. The mounting amounts of data against evolution is unveiling that evolution is a religious worldview and not science. This recently was echoed by Dr. David Gelernter, Yale computer scientist and recent evolution ship-jumper. Dr. Gelernter argues that science is on design’s side while evolution is religiously driven: “…Darwinism is no longer just a scientific theory but the basis of a worldview, and an emergency replacement religion for the many troubled souls who need one.” 1 While Dr. Gelernter is on the intelligent design side of the aisle, he unequivocally has left the Darwinists because of observable scientific evidence.

The TRUE Origin of life comes from life, the eternal life giver, Jesus Christ. As the I.D. scientists continue to observe design factors and evidence, we will continue to identify that designer as the Lord. Our desire is to not leave this issue ambiguous so there is no room for a non-Biblical designer to be labeled. Our origin has been plainly given in the record of Genesis, and we know that it will continue to be supported by scientific research. Here at CTF we are 2020 FOCUSED on the TRUE Origin of life, Jesus Christ. This is not about a religious theory but about a relationship with our Creator and Savior.

Summer of 2025 is two-thirds finished. We have taught at 7 different camp weeks along with 6 VBSes. Ryan and I have had a busy summer for the Kingdom. Our travels have stretched from Ohio to Colorado and all points in between. We have taught in churches and connected with many supporters and friends. This summer, as usual, ministry has taken us away from family for periods, but there has been great returns for the sacrifice - more than fifteen souls have been added to God’s eternal Kingdom and even more seeds planted with life-changing fruit produced, from the young to old. Again and again we encounter students that are fired up with a passion for knowledge of the Word of God. As these students have found answers to questions or faith-challenging issues, they are better equipped to share their faith. This summer we have had the opportunity to reconnect with many students whom we taught at a younger age. Now they are in their teens or heading to college. Their testimonies of strengthened faith because of the mission God has called us to is more than rewarding. It never gets old to meet grandparents, or even great-grandparents, during VBS that have lived their lives as followers of Christ yet have never seen the impact of Genesis to the Gospel. Just yesterday this happened with a grandmother who was overjoyed and appreciative of our teaching and message. Knowing more about dinosaurs Biblically allows for them to have new lines of communication with their cherished grandkids. Our ability to give these great warriors of the faith answers that can impact their families for eternity is priceless to us.  Please continue to lift us up in prayer as our summer is not over yet. As always, know that your support is making an impact for the Kingdom that we are eternally grateful for. If you are thinking about having us come next summer, don’t hesitate to contact us as summers fill quicker than the rest of the year. Summer has and will continue to be a crazy busy time for Kingdom work. Blessings.
