Branson: Learning How to Think Biblically

This was presented by Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis. The main message was that when we start with God's word, we can explain.

Ken started with Romans 1:20, it is the Intelligent Design verse in the Bible. Yet, it is not enough. If we back up to verse 17, we are reminded that it takes faith, "The righteous will live by faith." Faith comes from hearing, hearing from the foolishness of preaching.

There is everything we can do, yet there is nothing we can do. In the end, God works faith in others, yet He uses us to bring his word to others. When we challenge others in the Battle for our culture, we cannot throw down your sword (God's Word).

Others have the wrong starting point. Our approach is presuppositional (we start with God and the Bible), others start without God. We need to see them change their starting point. They are dead in their trespess and sin.

The culture war is a war over starting points (history, religions, etc...) We think Biblically and seek to explain everything we see with Biblical glasses.
