Wave 94

Many of us carry childhood sayings and cultural habits that shape how we view the world, but the danger comes when those same human preferences creep into our walk with Christ. Without realizing it, church can easily become a place of spiritual consumption rather than a place of active development.

-- Your faith should never be subjected to a Sunday morning. Treating church like a weekly checklist or a spiritual delivery service leaves you spiritually malnourished for the rest of the week.

-- Building and developing godly character requires daily abiding in Christ, recognizing that apart from Him we can do nothing.

-- Reading the Word of God is only half the battle; we must practically live it out in our workplaces, homes, and communities instead of compromising to fit in.

-- True character is a reflection of your roots, and when you are deeply planted along the riverbank of God's Word, external storms and hardships will not uproot you.

Scriptures for Further Study

-- John 15:4-5

-- James 1:22-25

-- Jeremiah 17:7-8

(1) Allow me to refer to what Tom DeRosa said in his book Evolution’s Fatal Fruit.  “The stunning diversity of plants and animals that Darwin observed on his voyage [on the Beagle] made him ask the question: Why are there so many types of turtles, lizards, birds, insects, etc., to be observed across the world? And why do these kinds of animals and plants all SEEM to be perfectly ADAPTED to their geographic environment? As he toured the Galápagos Islands, he struggled to understand why these islands had such UNIQUE creatures, which nonetheless ROUGHLY correspond to animals observed on the continent. He discovered in South America the fossils of GIANT EXTINCT ANIMALS, such as an 18-foot-tall SLOTH and a 5-foot-long ARMADILLO. These exciting finds led to more questions about why the  body plan of these extinct animals so closely corresponded, except for size, to their contemporary COUNTERPARTS.”

(2) “The conclusion Darwin came to from all this was that change is taking place through time, which is [the simplest definition] of evolution. ‘It was evident,” Darwin wrote in his Autography, ‘that such facts as these, as well as many others, could ONLY BE EXPLAINED on the supposition that species GRADULLY MODIFIED; and the subject HAUNTED ME.”

(3) Then DeRosa makes his own comments: “These modifications that “haunted” Darwin can be BEST EXPLAINED, not as evolution, but as VARIATION within the sloth or armadillo kind. Could the huge size of these fossils be due to GIGANTISM? The tallest man in medical history measured 8 feet 11 inches, while the smallest tribe of pygmies, from Zaire, Africa, can be as small as 4 feet 1 inch. Despite the size range, both are STILL HUMAN.”

(4) What about the modifications in the plumage or beak size of birds? Is this evolution? How would we KNOW? If we do not know how to define a SPECIES, how can we know when enough change takes place to constitute “transmutation,” which is Darwin’s term for evolution from one species into another.” That is, what Darwin means is MACROevolution. It is certainly a change WITHIN A SPECIES so it is MICROevolution. My question becomes: Is a species the same as what Genesis calls a kind?

(5) The point of controversy is whether modifications may be SO EXTENSIVE that microevolution leaps beyond the SPECIES BOUNDARY and at some point becomes MACROevolution. But here is the fly in the buttermilk, since “species” is NOT DEFINED, it is IMPOSSIBLE to say when the SPECIES BARRIER IS BROKEN. This VAGUE DEFINITION makes it possible to say that small changes or large changes can be said to produce a new “species.” But how can that conclusion be CERTAIN?

(6) DeRosa points out: “These “facts” include Darwin’s MISTAKEN ASSUMPTIONS that later had to be CHANGED. So, how RELIABLE are Darwin’s assertions that are based on inferences that can’t be tested? On what BASIS can he assert that his “facts” will bring to light to that “mystery of mysteries” — the origin of species?

(7) Niles Eldredge claims that finches beak changes are one of the MOST COMPELLING ARGUMENTS that led Darwin to his theory of evolution. Really? There is no evidence whatsoever that finches changed to another species. They still remained FINCHES. In fact, the finches DO NOT SUPPORT EVOLUTION at all, but are great examples of variation WITHIN a kind. DeRosa reports that the Princeton zoologist Carl Wieland reported in Creation magazine vol. 14 (3): pp. 22-23 that after years of study the Galapagos finch population DID CHANGE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

Pastor Jack King delivers a heartfelt and urgent message about the power of vision, historical sacrifice, and the urgent need for vigilance in protecting our nation and faith. Drawing on personal stories from his roots in rural Kentucky, Pastor King reminds us that every enduring building, community, and freedom is the result of extraordinary effort by dedicated dreamers who came before us.

-- In this episode, Pastor King explores how physical landmarks, old country churches, and historical town squares point back to passionate individuals who sacrificed greatly to lay a foundation for future generations.

-- He issues a sober warning about cultural amnesia, noting how easy it is for people to take modern freedoms and foundational institutions for granted without knowing the heavy price that was paid to secure them.

-- Shifting to the challenges facing modern society, the message calls out the lack of awareness surrounding political and social shifts, urging listeners to become vigilant protectors of the nation for the sake of their children and grandchildren.

-- Woven with rich storytelling, nostalgic musical references, and a deep call to spiritual awakening, this episode challenges every listener to look beyond themselves and cherish the legacy of faith and liberty we have inherited.

In this powerful message, Pastor Jack King continues his series on the foundational rules for ministry found in the Beatitudes. Moving beyond outward appearances and carnal motivations, this teaching calls believers to look past the surface and minister directly to the human soul. Whether navigating a world filled with tension, division, or personal rejection, ministers of the gospel are called to be agents of grace, spiritual awakening, and lasting peace. Listeners will be encouraged to examine their own motives, embrace a spirit of mercy, and stand firm in their calling despite the trials that come with sharing the good news.

-- Exploring the Beatitudes as practical, daily instructions for those sent out to share the gospel in a diverse and often divided world.

-- Understanding the difference between a judgmental attitude and a truly merciful heart that looks past human flaws to see lost souls.

-- Asking the hard question of motivation: ensuring that ministry is driven by a genuine call to sacrifice and love rather than wealth, fame, or prestige.

-- Examining the role of the Christian as a peacemaker in an increasingly violent and tense society, refusing to take up carnal weapons and instead offering the message of hope.

-- Embracing persecution and tribulation with joy, recognizing that walking the path of rejection places believers in the company of the ancient prophets and Jesus Himself.
