Year-end Blessing

Matt Miles • December 9, 2019

Greetings from all the CTF team, and our deepest heartfelt Christmas blessing to you and your family! May the Lord show you the reality of His birth in a most impactful manner this Christmas season. The gift given some 2000 years ago – our Creator coming to earth as a baby for the purpose of bearing our sin so we may have life – remains more transformational than anything ever, before or since. May we never forget the importance of this season!

With the holiday season comes the completion of our 30th successful year of ministry at Creation Truth Foundation, and the Lord has blessed us abundantly through the year. The number of new venues into which we were invited this year was a great encouragement, especially as we continue to see that there are still some churches that hold to preaching and teaching the Truth of God’s Word. The number of lives impacted for the Gospel through teaching Genesis is another great encouragement. Receiving emails, letters and texts from some of the people that the Lord has saved through our ministry work makes the many miles and hours worthwhile.

Each year worldly, pagan and evolutionary influences gain momentum, even in the church. Our message is one that some churches will never embrace as it continues to show that so-called science (evolutionary/naturalistic) is not science at all, but rather an evolutionary philosophy at best. Ephesians 5:15-16 reminds us where we are instructed to be wise in these evil days, making the most of every opportunity. There is great science being done that continually supports the historical testimony of Genesis, as well as the rest of Scripture. True empirical science never has issues with the truth of God’s Word, and this we boldly proclaim.

Your support this year has been foundational to getting our message out to all who will hear. Each and every dollar given has made an impact on our team and those we minister to across this nation and in other countries. You may never know or understand how important that gift has been to the Kingdom, but we will endeavor to press forward maximizing those gifts. 2020 is shaping up to be another impactful year as God drives our mission where He needs us most.

To start the new year off successfully we need your help now, at the end of 2019. Year-end gifts are essential to build a foundation for 2020. Our current monthly support level doesn’t cover all of the bills and ministry expenses, so we rely on our program love offerings each month to cover the difference. December, January and February are lean months for our traveling and teaching, so our finances take on a large deficit. Year-end gifts will help us meet all our expenses as we head into 2020. Please help us during this season as we look forward to and prepare for the many exciting endeavors to come this next year.

Thank you again and may God bless you during this Christmas season!

Flooded Marine Reptile

By Matt Miles • October 2, 2025

The Flood during Noah’s day was a devastating judgement against the sin and wickedness of the time. Most people focus on what the Lord did as He saved the eight people and animals on the Ark. Yet while they were being saved, the Flood destroyed the earth and left behind some remarkable things. Geology around the globe shows water burial of plants and animals. Many of the animal remains show signs of drowning and then burial. One particular reptile that shows this is the Ichthyosaurus. From what we can understand, water was her home for everything in life, even giving birth to live young. This well designed creature may even help us trust the Word of God when it comes to the history of the Flood. In our Mobile Museum of Earth History we exhibit a research replica of an ichthyosaur called Stenopterygius quadriscissus . She is from Holzmaden, Germany and is one example of hundreds that have been found in the area. The reason we can so confidently state this fossil is a “her,” when we rarely know for sure about fossil animals, is because she is pregnant. She has three babies present with her remains: one under her tail, one in or near the birth canal, and one still inside. Our fossil is in situ, which means the fossil remains in the rock matrix it was buried in. So, the presence of momma and babies are how they were buried and not articulated in some manner after excavation. This is important to show the rapid, watery burial that must have taken place to lock this scene in the fossil record. The Flood trapped organisms all over the world in different life positions. Sometimes the fossils left behind have shown eating, hunting, sleeping, swimming, nesting, or drowning. When it comes to ichthyosaurs around the planet, there is a significant number of females that seem to be pregnant. They have been found in the fossil record on at least four continents. A fair assumption would be that Ichthyosaurs had a certain time of year they mated and gave birth to young, much like sea turtles today that nest from late spring to late fall depending on the region around the world. So it should come as no surprise that we find pregnant ichthyosaurs all around the world as the Flood lasted an entire year. It would have buried the females that were pregnant near their location of habitat. Evolutionists maintain that ichthyosaurs lived tens to hundreds of million years ago and each of the mothers found in the fossil record just died while giving birth. This is difficult to support in a millions magnitude time scale. That would mean every time a disaster happened, millions of years apart, the right conditions existed to quickly bury ichthyosaurs that just so happened to be pregnant. It just might take some “faith” to trust that “miracle” would happen over and over again through eons of time. Or you can have faith that the Word of God’s history is correct with a judgement of man’s sin bringing global devastation through the Flood during Noah’s 600th year of life. The Word of God is trustworthy, with even the fossil record showing us glimpses of historical evidence in support of our faith. I’m so thankful we don’t need blind faith to trust our salvation! Blessings.

Our God Whom We Serve Is Able

By Ryan Cox • October 2, 2025

14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up? 15 …if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?” 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. 18 But if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” Daniel 3:14-18 In the 6th century BC, three young men stood up for their faith in the one true God, for which someone attempted to kill them. Today, in the 21st century AD, one young man was gunned down for his faith in the one true God. And sadly, Charlie Kirk is not the only one. According to The Esther Project, martyrdom for the cause of Christ is commonplace around the world ( theestherproject.com/statistics ). On average: 322 Christians are killed monthly. 214 churches or Christian properties are destroyed monthly. 772 forms of violence (beatings, kidnappings, etc.) against Christians are committed monthly. 100,000 to 160,000 Christians are killed annually in the 21st century. 1.093 million Christians were martyred between 2000 and 2010. And more than 70 million Christians are believed to have been martyred since the 1st century, with more than half killed in the 20th century alone under communist and fascist governments. And how should Christians respond? Peter wrote, “ if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but glorify God in this name ” (I Peter 4:16). Jesus took this a step further; He told us, “ …love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you ” (Matthew 5:44). Now, as Shawn Grant, minister at Kissimmee Christian Church, FL, preached on the Sunday following the assassination, th at may not be what you want to hear right now, but that is what Jesus has told us we must do. Why? So the world will see the difference Jesus makes! The night of and the days after the assassination, businesses did not have to board up their stores. Police and soldiers did not have to be deployed. There were no riots, no property damages, no police spat upon – only tears, prayers, and a witness to the world that Jesus is the answer. So noticeable is this to the world, there were more international press requests for the Charlie Kirk memorial service than are requested for Super Bowls. Within seven days of his death, Kirk’s ministry Turning Point USA had received over 54,000 campus chapter requests. And most importantly, scores of videos of young people considering or even deciding to give their lives to Jesus have been posted to social media platforms.
