origin of culture
Repost: Kennedy Classics – The Glorious Creation
If you will watch the video, or at least read through the transcript, you will see that Dr. D. James Kennedy foresaw and “nailed” the problems of today. They stem from the root of evolution.
Society has forgotten the root cause, and is fighting over the fruit.
He mentions that it takes a few generations for the actions to catch up with the world view.
As you listen, you will see that the root and tree of the myth of evolution has born fruit, and that the globalists, instead of God, are attempting to write the new rules.

IN NAVIGATION, MERELY BEING OFF BY A FEW DEGREES
1:03
AT THE BEGINNING OF A JOURNEY WILL RESULT IN
1:06
BEING HUNDREDS- OR EVEN THOUSANDS- OF MILES OFF
1:09
AT THE END.
1:10
THE SAME IS TRUE WITH CULTURE AND SOCIETY.
1:14
UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE CAME FROM IS CRUCIAL TO
1:17
GETTING WHERE WE’RE GOING.
1:19
AND BY THE SAME TOKEN, HOLDING FALSE PREMISES
1:23
ABOUT OUR ORIGINS CAN SEND CULTURES INTO A TAILSPIN-
1:28
NOT UNLIKE THE ONE WE’RE EXPERIENCING NOW.
1:32
SO WHAT DOES GOD’S WORD HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OUR
1:35
ORIGINS?
1:36
HOW DOES TODAY’S CULTURE GET IT WRONG?
1:39
AND WHAT ARE THE SOMETIMES DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES
1:42
OF THAT?
1:44
DR. D. JAMES KENNEDY EXPLAINS IN HIS MESSAGE,
1:47
“THE GLORIOUS CREATION.”
1:51
OUR SCRIPTURE LESSON THIS MORNING IS TAKEN FROM THE
1:54
BEGINNING, FROM THE BEGINNING OF ALL THINGS,
1:57
THE FIRST BOOK, THE FIRST CHAPTER, THE FIRST VERSE
2:01
OF THE BIBLE.
2:03
GENESIS CHAPTER 1, MAY WE HEAR THE INSPIRED WORD OF
2:07
THE LIVING GOD.
4:05
AND MAY GOD SPEAK TO OUR HEARTS AND MINDS TODAY
4:08
FROM THIS HIS HOLY WORD AND MAY HIS NAME EVER BE
4:11
PRAISED AMEN.
4:18
EVEN MANY SKEPTICS HAVE ADMITTED THAT THE BIBLE
4:21
HAS BEEN THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOK IN THE
4:24
HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
4:26
IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT IT HAS BEEN PRINTED IN
4:29
MORE EDITIONS, TRANSLATED INTO MORE LANGUAGES,
4:33
PURCHASED IN MORE VOLUMES, AND READ BY MORE PEOPLE
4:36
THAN ANY OTHER BOOK IN HISTORY, THAT IS A
4:38
REASONABLE CONCLUSION.
4:40
IT HAS, INDEED, GIVEN BIRTH TO MODERN WESTERN
4:44
SOCIETY.
4:47
NOW IF THAT IS TRUE, THEN SCIENTIST AND BIBLICAL
4:52
SCHOLAR HENRY MORRIS, WHO BELIEVES AS I DO THAT IT
4:55
IS, HE BELIEVES THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK IN THE
4:59
BIBLE IS THE BOOK OF GENESIS.
5:02
NOW, SOME OF US MIGHT ARGUE FOR THE IMPORTANCE
5:04
OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN OR THE BOOK OF ROMANS, BUT HE
5:07
CERTAINLY HAS A POINT, AND YOU SHOULD HEAR IT.
5:10
HE SAYS: IF THE BIBLE WERE SOMEHOW EXPURGATED OF THE
5:15
BOOK OF GENESIS, THE REST OF THE BIBLE WOULD BE
5:19
INCOMPREHENSIBLE.
5:22
THINK ABOUT IT.
5:23
IT WOULD BE LIKE A BUILDING WITHOUT A
5:26
FOUNDATION, LIKE A BRIDGE WITHOUT SUPPORT.
5:30
IT WOULD BE INCOMPREHENSIBLE BECAUSE
5:35
THE BOOK OF GENESIS GIVES US THE BEGINNING OF ALL
5:39
THINGS.
5:41
HE SAYS THAT IT PRESENTS TO US THE ORIGIN OF THE
5:44
UNIVERSE, THE ORIGIN OF ORDER AND COMPLEXITY, THE
5:47
ORIGIN OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, THE ORIGIN OF THE
5:50
ATMOSPHERE AND HYDROSPHERE, THE ORIGIN OF
5:52
LIFE, THE ORIGIN OF MAN, THE ORIGIN OF MARRIAGE,
5:57
THE ORIGIN OF EVIL- A GREAT ENIGMA TO THOSE WHO
6:01
ARE WITHOUT BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING AND BEREFT
6:05
OF SCRIPTURAL KNOWLEDGE.
6:07
IT GIVES US THE ORIGIN OF LANGUAGE.
6:11
THINK ABOUT IT.
6:12
WHERE DID LANGUAGE COME FROM?
6:15
DID IT COME FROM SIMPLY THE GRADUAL EVERMORE
6:21
COMPLEX GRUNTS AND GROANS OF ANIMAL-LIKE CREATURES
6:25
AS THE EVOLUTIONISTS WOULD HAVE US TO BELIEVE?
6:28
THE EVIDENCE POINTS EXACTLY IN THE OPPOSITE
6:31
DIRECTION.
6:32
THE MOST PRIMITIVE LANGUAGES ARE THE MOST
6:36
COMPLEX- NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
6:40
TAKE THE GREEK LANGUAGE WITH WHICH I AM FAMILIAR.
6:43
IT COMES FROM SANSKRIT, WHICH WAS A VERY COMPLEX
6:47
LANGUAGE.
6:48
THAT GAVE RISE TO CLASSICAL GREEK, THE
6:50
LANGUAGE OF HOMER AND ARISTOTLE AND PLATO, WHICH
6:53
IS LESS COMPLEX, BUT STILL A VERY COMPLEX LANGUAGE.
6:57
LESS COMPLEX IS THE KOINE GREEK OF THE BIBLICAL
7:01
PERIOD THAT THE NEW TESTAMENT IS WRITTEN IN.
7:03
AND THAT GAVE RISE TO MODERN GREEK, WHICH IS A
7:06
VERY SIMPLIFIED FORM OF THE KOINE.
7:09
THINGS ARE GOING FROM COMPLEX TO SIMPLE, THE
7:12
VERY OPPOSITE OF THE EVOLUTIONARY VIEW.
7:17
GENESIS GIVES US THE ORIGIN OF GOVERNMENT, THE
7:20
ORIGIN OF CULTURE, THE ORIGIN OF NATIONS, THE
7:22
ORIGIN OF RELIGION, THE ORIGIN OF THE CHOSEN
7:24
PEOPLE, AND OTHER THINGS.
7:26
INDEED, IF THE BIBLE WERE EXPURGATED OF THE BOOK OF
7:30
GENESIS, THE REST OF THE BIBLE AND MOST OF LIFE
7:35
WOULD BE INCOMPREHENSIBLE, AS IT IS TO MANY MODERNS
7:40
WHO DO NOT HAVE THAT UNDERSTANDING.
7:43
IT IS NO WONDER THAT MANY OF THE ATTACKS OF
7:47
UNBELIEVERS HAVE BEEN DIRECTED AGAINST THE
7:50
FOUNDATIONS OF ALL THINGS.
7:53
KEN HAM, IN ONE OF HIS BOOKS, HAS AN INTERESTING
7:57
CARTOON.
7:58
IT SHOWS TWO LITTLE MINIATURE CASTLES, EACH
8:02
BUILT UPON A FOUNDATION.
8:04
THEY HAVE THEIR WALLS, THEIR TURRETS, THEIR
8:06
TOWERS, AND THEIR BANNERS FLYING.
8:08
THERE IS ONE MAN STANDING ON THE WALL OF EACH OF
8:11
THESE.
8:12
ONE OF THEM IS ENTITLED CHRISTIANITY; THE OTHER IS
8:14
SECULAR HUMANISM.
8:16
THE CHRISTIAN IS FIRING HIS CANNON AGAINST ONE OF
8:19
THE MANY PENNANTS OF THE SECULAR ATHEISTIC
8:22
HUMANISM.
8:23
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY STAND FOR WHETHER IT
8:25
BE GAMBLING, OR HOMOSEXUAL, OR FREE
8:28
DIVORCE, OR ABORTION, OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE.
8:30
BUT THE SECULAR HUMANIST HAS HIS CANNON AIMED
8:33
DOWNWARD AND IS BLASTING THE FOUNDATION OUT FROM
8:38
UNDER THE CHRISTIAN CASTLE.
8:41
SO IT IS THAT MUCH OF THE EFFORT OF THE UNBELIEVER
8:44
HAS BEEN AIMED AT THE FOUNDATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY,
8:48
WHICH ARE FOUND IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS.
8:52
MICHAEL DENTON, WHO WROTE A FASCINATING BOOK IN ’86
8:57
ENTITLED EVOLUTION: A THEORY IN CRISIS- ONE OF
9:00
MANY HUNDREDS OF BOOKS AND ARTICLES THAT WERE WRITTEN
9:03
IN THE ’80S THAT POINT OUT THAT EVOLUTION IS FALLING
9:06
APART, THAT THERE ARE FISSURES APPEARING IN THE
9:10
WALLS AND FLOOR, THAT THE COLUMNS HAVE COLLAPSED,
9:13
AND IT IS IN BAD SHAPE.
9:14
BUT ALSO POINTING OUT THAT IT HAS HAD ENORMOUS AND
9:18
DEVASTATING IMPACT UPON THE MODERN WORLD IN WHICH
9:22
WE LIVE.
9:23
HE SAYS: THE VOYAGE OF THE BEAGLE WAS A JOURNEY OF
9:26
AWESOME SIGNIFICANCE.
9:29
THAT WAS, OF COURSE, DARWIN’S SHIP THAT HE SET
9:32
SAIL FROM ENGLAND IN IN 1831.
9:35
THE PURPOSE OF THE VOYAGE WAS TO SURVEY PATAGONIA;
9:41
THE RESULT HOWEVER WAS TO SHAKE THE FOUNDATIONS OF
9:46
WESTERN THOUGHT.
9:48
THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES WHICH FOLLOWED HAS BEEN
9:52
REFERRED TO AS “ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS EVER
9:54
WRITTEN” AND IT IS BECAUSE IT SEEKS TO SHAKE THE
9:59
FOUNDATIONS OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK EVER WRITTEN.
10:05
AS FAR AS CHRISTIANITY WAS CONCERNED, HE SAYS, THE
10:08
ADVENT OF THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION AND THE
10:10
ELIMINATION OF TRADITIONAL TELEOLOGICAL THINKING WAS
10:15
CATASTROPHIC.
10:16
MANY CHRISTIANS DON’T KNOW WHAT TELEOLOGICAL THINKING IS.
10:19
TELOS IS THE GREEK WORD FOR “END” OR “PURPOSE.”
10:23
IT IS THE KIND OF THINKING THAT ALL OF US ENGAGE IN
10:26
EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES.
10:28
IT IS THAT WE BELIEVE THAT LIFE HAS A PURPOSE AND
10:31
THAT EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO HAS A PURPOSE AND AN END.
10:35
AND THAT IS WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT.
10:37
THIS IS ANATHEMA TO THE EVOLUTIONIST.
10:41
TELEOLOGY IS THEIR MOST HATED WORD.
10:44
NOTHING HAS A PURPOSE OR AN END.
10:46
THESE THINGS THAT APPEAR TO HAVE PURPOSES AND ENDS
10:49
ARE SIMPLY THE RESULTS OF BLIND CHANCE THAT HAPPEN
10:53
TO APPEAR TO BE PURPOSEFUL, BUT THERE IS
10:56
NO PURPOSE IN LIFE, THEY TELL US.
11:00
CONSEQUENTLY, LIFE HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE OR MEANING OR
11:04
IMPORTANCE.
11:06
AS STEPHEN J. GOULD HAS PUT IT IN ONE OF HIS BOOKS
11:09
THAT YOU ARE NO MORE IMPORTANT THAN A DRIED
11:13
TWIG THAT YOU PICK UP OFF THE LAWN IN YOUR BACK YARD.
11:17
GOOD FOR NOTHING BUT TO BE THROWN IN THE GARBAGE CAN
11:20
OR THE FIRE.
11:21
YOU ARE NOT EVEN AS SIGNIFICANT AS A TREE, OR
11:24
EVEN A BRANCH.
11:25
YOU ARE A DEAD TWIG, THAT’S ALL.
11:29
THAT IS A LESSON IN UTTER DEVASTATION OF EVERYTHING
11:37
THAT THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE HAS HELD IMPORTANT
11:40
FOREVER.
11:42
IT IS A LESSON IN SUICIDE AND MEANINGLESSNESS TO LIFE.
11:47
DENTON CONTINUES: THE SUGGESTION THAT LIFE AND
11:52
MAN ARE THE RESULT OF CHANCE IS INCOMPATIBLE
11:55
WITH THE BIBLICAL ASSERTION OF THEIR BEING
11:57
THE DIRECT RESULT OF INTELLIGENT CREATIVE
12:00
ACTIVITY.
12:01
IT WAS BECAUSE DARWIN BROKE MAN’S LINK WITH GOD
12:06
AND SET HIM ADRIFT IN A COSMOS WITHOUT PURPOSE OR
12:08
END THAT ITS IMPACT WAS SO FUNDAMENTAL.
12:12
NO OTHER INTELLECTUAL REVOLUTION OF MODERN
12:15
TIMES, SAVING PERHAPS FOR THE COPERNICAN REVOLUTION,
12:18
HAS HAD SUCH A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON THE WAY THAT MEN
12:23
VIEWED THEMSELVES AND THEIR PLACE IN THE
12:26
UNIVERSE.
12:27
BUT AS EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGIST RICHARD DAWKINS
12:30
SAID: “DARWIN MADE IT POSSIBLE TO BE AN
12:32
INTELLECTUALLY FULFILLED ATHEIST.”
12:35
AND I MIGHT ALSO SAY, INTELLECTUALLY
12:37
“ACCEPTABLE” ATHEIST TODAY.
12:39
AND SO THE 20TH CENTURY HAS BEEN CALLED THE
12:42
“CENTURY OF ATHEISM.”
12:45
THERE HAVE BEEN MORE ATHEISTS IN THE WORLD IN
12:47
THIS CENTURY THAN ANY OTHER TIME BEFORE.
12:50
COMMUNISM, THIS GREAT ORGANIZED SYSTEM OF
12:55
ATHEISM, HAS RESULTED IN KILLING MORE THAN 130
13:00
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
13:02
THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING TO SAY THE
13:06
VERY LEAST.
13:08
WHAT MANY CHRISTIANS DON’T REALIZE IS THE
13:13
INCOMPATIBILITY AND THE HOSTILITY OF EVOLUTION
13:18
TOWARD THE BIBLE AND TOWARD CHRISTIANITY.
13:22
SURVEYS SHOW THAT 40% OF AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT THE
13:27
BIBLE IS TRUE AND EVOLUTION IS TRUE.
13:30
THAT IS SIMPLY THE RESULT OF IGNORANCE AND SLOPPY,
13:36
LAZY THINKING.
13:38
THAT’S ALL.
13:39
THEY WILL NOT FIT TOGETHER.
13:43
THERE ARE DOZENS OF REASONS WHY YOU CAN’T PUT
13:46
THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER.
13:48
BUT THOSE WHO DON’T WANT TO EXERT THEIR MENTAL
13:51
CAPACITIES TO CONSIDER IT WILL TRY TO SOLVE THE
13:54
PROBLEM BY SAYING THAT THEY ARE BOTH TRUE.
13:58
SIR JULIAN HUXLEY.
14:01
SIR JULIAN WAS THE LEADING EVOLUTIONIST IN THE WORLD
14:04
WHEN HE DIED.
14:05
HE WAS ALSO THE PRESIDENT OF UNESCO UNITED NATIONS
14:08
EDUCATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CULTURAL ORGANIZATION.
14:10
AND HE SAID THIS: “IT IS CLEAR THAT THE DOCTRINE OF
14:14
EVOLUTION IS DIRECTLY ANTAGONISTIC TO THAT OF
14:17
CREATION.
14:18
EVOLUTION, IF CONSISTENTLY ACCEPTED, MAKES IT
14:21
IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THE BIBLE.”
14:25
THAT IS WHY ALL OF THE LEADING EVOLUTIONISTS OF
14:27
OUR TIME ARE ATHEISTS, AND ONLY THOSE CHRISTIANS WHO
14:32
ARE NAIVE AND FOOLISH WOULD TRY TO THINK THAT
14:36
THEY CAN HAVE BOTH OF THEM AS TRUE, AS WELL.
14:41
AS ONE EVOLUTIONIST SAID: IN ORDER TO DEVELOP NEW
14:43
EVOLUTIONARY THEORIES, THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT
14:46
ARE REQUIRED.
14:47
FIRST, YOU MUST HAVE A FERTILE IMAGINATION.
14:51
BE ABLE TO SPIN A GOOD TALE.
14:53
SECONDLY, IT DEPENDS UPON THE CREDULITY OF YOUR
14:59
AUDIENCE- AND WE’VE GOT A LOT OF SUCH AUDIENCES, I’M
15:04
AFRAID, IN AMERICA TODAY THAT ARE WILLING TO
15:07
BELIEVE ANY LATEST FINDINGS, ANY NEWLY SPUN
15:12
THEORY OF ANY EVOLUTIONARY TALE TELLER- PURELY THE
15:19
RESULT OF IMAGINATION.
15:21
AS ONE OF FRANCE’S GREATEST SCIENTISTS PUT
15:23
IT: EVOLUTION IS A FAIRY TALE FOR ADULTS.
15:29
IT IS THE BASIS OF ALMOST ALL MODERN SCIENCE FICTION.
15:33
IT IS A FAIRY TALE- A TECHNOLOGICAL FAIRY TALE
15:37
FOR ADULTS.
15:38
THE LATE SIR WILLIAM DAWSON, CANADA’S GREATEST
15:41
GEOLOGIST, SAID OF EVOLUTION, “IT IS ONE OF
15:44
THE STRANGEST PHENOMENA OF HUMANITY; IT IS UTTERLY
15:49
DESTITUTE OF PROOF.”
15:51
EVEN SUCH A GREAT THINKER AS ROBERT MILLIKAN,
15:55
DR. MILLIKAN WAS A FAMOUS PHYSICIST, NOBEL PRIZE
15:58
WINNER, AND HE SAID, “THE PATHETIC THING IS THAT WE
16:01
HAVE SCIENTISTS WHO ARE TRYING TO PROVE EVOLUTION
16:04
WHICH NO SCIENTIST CAN EVER PROVE.”
16:10
AS ARTHUR FIELD HAS POINTED OUT, IT’S BASED
16:13
“UPON BELIEF IN THE REALITY OF THE UNSEEN.”
16:17
IT IS FAITH- FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS UNSEEN.
16:21
IT IS BELIEF IN FOSSILS THAT CANNOT BE PRODUCED,
16:24
BELIEF IN EMBRYOLOGICAL EVIDENCE THAT DOES NOT
16:26
EXIST, BELIEF IN BREEDING EXPERIMENTS THAT REFUSE TO
16:30
COME OFF.
16:32
IT IS FAITH.
16:34
IT IS A RELIGION.
16:35
IT IS THE RELIGION OF THE UNBELIEVER.
16:37
DOES IT HAVE ANY PRACTICAL EFFECT ON OUR LIVES?
16:40
MAY I SAY, IT DOES.
16:42
LET ME SAY THAT MOST OF THE CHAOS IN OUR WORLD AND
16:48
COUNTRY TODAY- NOT TO MENTION NAZISM, FASCISM,
16:53
COMMUNISM AND ALL OF THOSE OTHER “ISMS”- MOST OF THE
16:56
BREAKDOWN IN MORALITY HAS COME ABOUT IN OUR TIME
17:00
BECAUSE OF THE ONSLAUGHT OF EVOLUTION.
17:03
YOU CANNOT BUILD ANY MORAL SYSTEM ON AN EVOLUTIONARY
17:09
FOUNDATION.
17:10
DO YOU DOUBT THAT?
17:12
LET ME QUOTE TO YOU WHAT A RATHER WELL KNOWN
17:14
EVOLUTIONIST NAMED CHARLES DARWIN, THIS IS WHAT
17:18
DARWIN SAID: “I FEEL, TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEM
17:22
OF MORALITY IN THIS NEW WORLD WHICH HE HAD
17:25
CREATED, I FEEL DEEPLY THAT THE WHOLE SUBJECT IS
17:31
TOO PROFOUND FOR THE HUMAN INTELLECT.
17:34
A DOG MIGHT AS WELL SPECULATE ON THE MIND OF
17:37
NEWTON, SIR ISAAC NEWTON.
17:39
LET EACH MAN HOPE AND BELIEVE WHAT HE CAN.”
17:44
I AM REMINDED OF JUDGES WHICH ENDS UP AND “EVERY MAN DID
17:48
THAT WHICH WAS RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES” (JUDGES 21:25B).
17:50
AND SO ALL OBJECTIVE AND ABSOLUTE MORALITY FALLS TO
17:55
THE GROUND.
17:56
KEN HAM, TALKING ABOUT THIS DESTRUCTION OF
18:00
MORALITY AND THE CHAOS- WHAT YOU SEE ON THE FRONT
18:04
PAGE OF YOUR NEWSPAPER, WHAT YOU HEAR ON THE SIX
18:07
O’CLOCK AND ELEVEN O’CLOCK NEWS, WHAT WE SEE IN THE
18:10
STREETS, THE LOCKS ON YOUR DOOR, THE COLLAPSE OF
18:13
MARRIAGE, THE PERVERSION OF OUR TIME- ALL TRACES IN
18:18
LARGE MEASURE BACK TO EVOLUTION.
18:21
HE SAYS THIS IS WHAT THE AVERAGE YOUNG PERSON SAYS
18:23
TODAY AND THOSE WHO ARE NOT SO YOUNG, AS WELL.
18:26
IT TAKES A FEW GENERATIONS FOR PEOPLE TO FINALLY GET
18:28
CONSISTENT IN THEIR LIVES WITH THEIR PHILOSOPHY AND
18:33
THEIR WORLD VIEW.
18:33
WELL, THEY HAVE BECOME CONSISTENT IN OUR TIME,
18:36
AND NOW WE NO LONGER LIVING ON THE BASIS OF
18:41
A CHRISTIAN BIBLICAL WORLD VIEW.
18:44
EVEN THOUGH A PERSON MAY NOT HAVE PERSONALLY
18:45
BELIEVED IT, WE LIVED BY IT FOR MANY, MANY DECADES.
18:49
THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE.
18:51
TODAY PEOPLE ARE SAYING, “IF THERE IS NO CREATOR
18:53
WHO SETS THE ABSOLUTES, WHY AM I STILL FOLLOWING
18:56
THESE CHRISTIAN RULES ABOUT MARRIAGE, SEX,
18:59
TRUTH, AND ETHICS?
19:00
WHY CAN’T I DO WHATEVER I WANT TO DO?”
19:03
ONE COLLEGE STUDENT, WHO WAS A DEVOUT EVOLUTIONIST,
19:07
CAME UP TO KEN AND SAID TO HIM THIS: “WHY CAN’T I
19:10
WRITE MY OWN RULES ABOUT LIFE AND DECIDE WHAT I
19:13
WANT TO DO?”
19:14
HE SAID, “YOU WANT TO WRITE YOUR OWN RULES ABOUT LIFE?”
19:17
HE SAID, “YES.”
19:18
HE SAID, “WELL, YOU CAN DO THAT IF YOU LIKE, BUT THEN
19:22
SO CAN I.
19:24
AND THAT MEANS THAT, I CAN SHOOT YOU.”
19:29
“WELL YOU CAN’T DO THAT.” THE STUDENT SAID.
19:31
“WHY NOT?”
19:32
“IT’S NOT RIGHT.”
19:34
“WHY ISN’T IT RIGHT?”
19:35
“BECAUSE IT’S WRONG.”
19:37
“WHY IS IT WRONG?”
19:40
WELL HE COULDN’T ANSWER THAT, “IT’S JUST NOT
19:43
RIGHT.” HE SAID.
19:44
HE SAID, “YOU’VE GOT A PROBLEM YOUNG MAN.
19:46
IF YOU WANT TO WRITE YOUR OWN RULES ABOUT LIFE, WELL
19:49
THEN WHAT ABOUT ME?
19:51
DON’T I HAVE THE RIGHT TO WRITE MY OWN RULES ABOUT LIFE?”
19:54
WELL HE SAID, “YEAH, THAT SEEMS FAIR.”
19:57
“OKAY, WELL HERE’S ONE OF MY FIRST RULES: ‘TYPES
20:00
LIKE YOU ARE DANGEROUS AND WE ARE GOING TO REMOVE YOU
20:04
FROM SOCIETY.”
20:06
YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT THE STUDENT THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.
20:13
BUT THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE COME, TO A PLACE WHERE
20:17
THERE ARE NO OBJECTIVE RULES, NO MORALITY, NO
20:20
ETHICS.
20:20
AND WE HAVE CHAOS IN OUR STREETS, IN OUR
20:25
CLASSROOMS, IN OUR FAMILIES, IN OUR COUNTRY
20:29
TODAY.
20:30
PEOPLE DON’T STOP TO THINK WHERE’D IT COME FROM
20:33
BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN FIRING THE BIG CANNONS AND
20:36
DESTROYING THE FOUNDATION.
20:38
“IF THE FOUNDATIONS BE DESTROYED, WHAT CAN THE
20:42
RIGHTEOUS DO?” (PSALM 11:3)
20:44
WELL, WE CAN REALIZE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
20:49
WE CAN QUIT EQUIVOCATING AND COMPROMISING, AND DO
20:53
SOME HARD THINKING AND TAKE A FIRM STAND ON WHAT
20:57
IS THE TRUTH.
21:00
WE CAN BEGIN TO CHANGE IT, BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A TIME
21:05
WHEN, AS I SAID, THE FOUNDATIONS OF EVOLUTION
21:09
ARE CRUMBLING.
21:10
BOOK AFTER BOOK AFTER BOOK IS COMING OUT POINTING OUT
21:14
THAT THE WHOLE THING IS A SHAM.
21:16
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR IT AT ALL.
21:19
IT IS THE “BIG LIE” AND IT HAS DONE DEVASTATION TO
21:25
OUR MODERN WORLD.
21:26
WE LIVE IN A TIME WHEN JACK, INDEED, IS TAKING
21:30
HIS AX TO THE BEANSTALK.
21:33
I THINK WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE DAY WHEN THAT
21:36
GIANT COMES CRASHING DOWN AND WE ARE RESTORED TO THE
21:44
ONLY SOLID FOUNDATION FOR LIFE, FOR ETHICS, FOR
21:50
RELIGION, AND FOR SCIENCE.
21:54
THE MOST SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE STATEMENT THAT
21:59
HAS EVER BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT ORIGINS IS THIS,
22:05
DON’T FORGET IT: “IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE
22:13
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.”
22:17
MAY WE PRAY.
22:21
FATHER, WE THANK THEE THAT THY WORD STANDETH FIRM
22:26
FOREVER.
22:28
THAT ALL OF THE PHILOSOPHIES AND THEORIES
22:31
OF MEN WILL ULTIMATELY COLLAPSE OF THEIR OWN
22:34
FALSITY AND THEIR OWN WEIGHT.
22:37
WE PRAY THAT THE GREAT TRUTH OF OUR CREATION,
22:40
OF OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THEE, OF THE MEANING AND PURPOSE
22:46
AND SIGNIFICANCE WHICH YOU GIVE TO OUR LIVES, WILL
22:50
ONCE AGAIN BE SPREAD ABROAD THROUGHOUT THIS
22:53
LAND.
22:54
WHERE OUR CHILDREN WILL LEARN THE REAL MEANING OF
22:58
THEIR EXISTENCE AND THEIR PURPOSE FOR LIVING, AND
23:04
THAT MORALITY AND ETHICS MAY ONCE AGAIN BE
23:08
ESTABLISHED IN AMERICA- A NATION BUILT UPON YOUR
23:14
CREATION, UPON YOUR WORD AND UPON YOUR TRUTH.
23:19
WE PRAY THIS IN THE NAME OF THE GREAT SOVEREIGN
23:22
REDEEMER, JESUS CHRIST.
23:26
AMEN.
23:28
IF THE FOUNDATIONS BE DESTROYED, WHAT CAN THE
23:31
RIGHTEOUS DO?”
23:33
DR. KENNEDY ENCOURAGED US TO STAND FOR TRUTH AND ONE
23:37
WAY WE CAN DO THAT IS TO SHARE THE ONE WHO IS
23:39
ABSOLUTE TRUTH- JESUS CHRIST.
23:42
I HOPE YOU’LL SHARE HIM WITH SOMEONE TODAY JUST
23:45
THE WAY SOMEONE ONCE SHARED HIM WITH YOU.
23:48
IN CASE YOU ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW AND YOU’VE NEVER
23:50
REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHO JESUS CHRIST IS AND WHAT
23:53
HE CAME TO DO, PLEASE LET ME TELL YOU.
23:56
YOU SEE, JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.

HE LIVED A PERFECT LIFE AND THEN WILLINGLY DIED ON
24:03
THE CROSS TO PAY THE PENALTY FOR OUR SINS- A
24:06
PENALTY THAT WE WILL ONE DAY HAVE TO PAY UNLESS WE
24:11
PLACE OUR TRUST IN HIM AND RECEIVE THE FREE GIFT OF
24:14
ETERNAL LIFE THAT HE OFFERS US WHILE WE’RE HERE
24:17
ON EARTH.
24:18
PLEASE UNDERSTAND, GOD IS MERCIFUL AND HE DOESN’T
24:21
WANT TO PUNISH US BUT HE IS ALSO JUST AND HE MUST
24:26
PUNISH OUR SIN.
24:27
YOU MAY KNOW THIS VERSE, “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE
24:30
WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT
24:33
WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM, WILL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE
24:37
EVERLASTING LIFE.”
24:39
HAVE YOU RECEIVED THAT GIFT OF EVERLASTING LIFE?
24:43
IF NOT, I URGE YOU TO PRAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME RIGHT
24:46
NOW SAYING “LORD, JESUS CHRIST, THANK YOU FOR
24:50
COMING INTO THIS WORLD TO DIE FOR ME.
24:53
I’M SORRY FOR MY SINS AND I REPENT AND I ASK YOU TO
24:57
CLEANSE ME AND MAKE ME BRAND NEW SO THAT I MIGHT
25:00
LIVE FOR YOU FROM THIS DAY FORWARD.
25:03
I PLACE MY TRUST IN YOU ALONE AND THANK YOU FOR
25:06
THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE.
25:08
IN YOUR NAME I PRAY, AMEN.”
25:11
IF YOU JUST PRAYED THAT PRAYER, SINCERELY FROM
25:14
YOUR HEART, HERE’S WHAT JESUS CHRIST SAYS,
25:17
“WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME HAS EVERLASTING LIFE.”
25:22

AS DR. KENNEDY SHARED TODAY, IF WE REJECT THE
25:50
FACT OF GOD’S CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE- AND OF US-
25:54
WE LOSE THE BASIS FOR LANGUAGE, MORALITY, JUST
25:58
GOVERNMENT, AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS NECESSARY FOR
26:02
LIFE THAT WE OFTEN TAKE FOR GRANTED.
26:05
BUT MOST PEOPLE HAVE SIMPLY NEVER THOUGHT IT
26:08
THROUGH.
26:09
THEY DON’T REALIZE HOW LEAVING GOD OUT OF THE
26:11
EQUATION AFFECTS TRUTH ALL THE WAY DOWN THE LINE.
26:15
WE’VE DEVELOPED A NEW RESOURCE TO COMBAT THAT
26:18
DEFICIT, AND TO HELP EVERYONE UNDERSTAND GOD’S

METICULOUS DESIGN FOR EVERY AREA OF LIFE.
