Divine Authority

Matt Miles • February 22, 2017

The Lord has empowered us here at CTF with a powerful message about His divine authority.  This message is one that is fundamental to our Christian life that helps us understand Christ as our Savior.  In the media, school systems, books, and even many churches, evolution continues to undermine this message of our origin.  The evolutionary process of man having common ancestry with other primates and ultimately all mammals, no matter if it is thought of as godless or God-driven, is unsubstantiated in all scientific rigors.  Yet, this idea has been established as fact in the minds of many people in some form or fashion.  Whether it appears as traditional Darwinian evolution or merely as immense amounts of time outside of the Biblical timeframe, it is evolution, plain and simple.  We here at CTF have been given a call to combat this thinking with a message of hope, truth and authority.

Several years ago as Doc began our Cadre classes for church leadership, lay leadership and others, his desire was to multiply this God-given message further than our ministry.  Gratefully, I write today as one of the first Cadre members the Lord used to take this message out.  Since our first meetings in 2005, we have educated over 80 individuals who are sharing the accuracy of the Biblical account in churches, work places, other countries, schools, and homes.  These brothers and sisters have been entrusted with a powerful message that others need to hear.  So, we are beginning a new section in our newsletter called Cadre Column.  Here our readers will have the opportunity to read articles written by Cadre members.  These articles will show the battle from a different vantage point than we at CTF see it, day in and day out.  These brothers and sisters are in the trenches everyday and that brings a different perspective of the battle than we have.  My prayer is that the Lord will use their articles to show the power of a Biblical worldview.  Please enjoy the articles and lift these great warriors up in prayer each month.

Blessings.

Picture of the Moon

Artemis - the Greek goddess of wild animals, the hunt, vegetation, chastity and childbirth. 1 While the Greek goddess may not be openly worshiped anymore, her name has now been irrevocably linked to the lesser light, just as her mythological twin brother Apollo’s was in the last century. Even so, it was not without Providence showing Who is really present in the affairs of men. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has been focused on having a prolonged presence in space with the work of the International Space Station (ISS), so until recently lunar exploration took a backseat. The Artemis missions of NASA have changed that. They began with the first launch in 2022 when an unmanned spacecraft orbited the Moon and returned successfully for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972. The plan for the Artemis program is to establish an ongoing manned presence on the Moon. In upcoming missions astronauts will return to the surface, marking another generation of Moon exploration. As we press forward, may we never forget the sacrifice of many lives throughout our ongoing space program, and may we remember it is only possible by the ordered design and engineered forces at work in creation by the Lord God our Creator. Many of you may have watched, as I did, as four brave astronauts were launched from the clutches of Earth’s gravity on April 1, 2026. It was hard to describe how proud I was as an American on that day. This country, founded on God-ordained rights and privileges, was the first and only country to place His image bearers on the surface of the lesser light years ago, and we are headed back again. We are literally doing what the Lord asked of us from the Genesis 1:28 mandate in studying His creation. As much as I know that not all who work for NASA have this worldview, there are several that do, praise the Lord! On Artemis II launch day, one of the four astronauts on board was our brother in Christ - Victor Glover, mission pilot.
