Happy National Astronomy Day!

Today, Saturday May 6th, is National Astronomy Day, So let me take this opportunity to encourage you to support creationist ministries across the world. If you are a young Christian looking for where you can serve the Lord I would like to suggest that you should look into science or science education as a career.
It is quite fashionable at this period in history to describe Christianity as anti-science, but this is a falsehood. What we should be is anti-scientism, which is the false religion of the materialist. This universe of ours was created by the Lord and rightfully belongs to his people. For too long we have abandon important areas of our culture to unbelievers, and theoretical science is one discipline where we have been particularly lacking. This has had terrible consequences for the churches ministry and outreach. One of the responsibilities given to man is the task of naming, and I suggest that science is part of this task. How many souls have been lost because of our slackness we can not know, but when asked why they abandon their faith a great many young people cite the claims of materialist scientific philosophy as the reason.
While it is true that every person’s ultimately responsible for their own spiritual state I firmly believe in a God who can save and who grants favor based on the intercession of His saints. By reclaiming the field of science we will aid the cause of evangelism and strengthen the faith of converts. If we glorify God in every facet of our culture God will bless our nation and its people. However this requires our obedience and diligence in all areas. Nothing can be left to the enemy, for what we surrender to the enemy will certainly be used to attack the Lords people. Nowhere is this more evident than in the field of science, particularly cosmology and origins science. The time has come to reclaim these vital areas and change the philosophy of science from anti-God to a discipline that glorifies our Lord.
The world is the Lord’s and was made for His people. The questions asked by science should be how does Gods world operate, not how can we create a world without God! Because the gospel is an appeal to mankind’s intellect as well as his spirit, and not a faith spread by force we must reason with others. We must always be prepared to give an answer for our faith in every area. Some have claimed that we should only concentrate on “the spiritual things” and that we can leave the material things to the secularist. The folly of this thinking is demonstrated by the sad state of the world and our churches. Every aspect of our existence belongs to God; both spiritual and material. Who are we to surrender any part of it to the enemies of God?
So let us all take this opportunity to repent our failure in this area and glorify God by reclaiming science as an instrument for spreading the gospel. If we do this it will go a long way towards healing our nation and giving a godly inheritance to our children. If you're a young person please take up the challenge and reclaim science for the Lord. Let the rest of us support creationist ministries and support our young people in this endeavor. All is the Lords, so let us be good stewards of His creation!
