Like so many philosophical/ spiritual questions, this one has a false premise built into it. Let’s reframe your important question. I’ll agree that God created nature, the Earth, sun, moon and the galaxies. But He made it “good”, not perfect. He delegated governing authority to mankind, with a mandate to add tremendous value to the Creation, with one clear stipulation: man was never to partake of a particular tree which would activate his power to choose.
As long as man took strategic direction from his Creator, all would be well. Once his willpower was activated, all hell broke loose. Man believed he had the reasoning ability and clarity of moral adjudication that only the Lord retained. Man now evaluated right and wrong through the limits of experience and mental/emotional faculties. We call it morality today. But…we were designed and intended to evaluate good and evil through spiritual filters, not through human reasoning. Political battles today are a prime example of two parties advocating radically different positions because of deeply held moral beliefs.
Eventually, man perverted the Creation to the point where he did evil continuously. (You think stuff is bad today? It was remarkably worse before the Flood.) Nearly the entire human race was wiped out in an orchestrated, worldwide flood. Geologic evidence of this catastrophic event is still witnessed today. Mankind 2.0 began about 4,000 years ago.
Nature is not responsible for any evil that you observe, my friend. Man is responsible. Yes, God created all of it, but Nature was perverted by man, not the Lord. Thankfully there is an incredible redemption strategy available to us. I’ll leave that for another discussion.

Friends of mine have proposed and defended the theory that capitalism is the economic system which best manifests God’s Kingdom on Earth. Although it’s certainly an excellent wealth-producing mechanism when the playing field remains level, I believe that capitalism is NOT the best we can do. It is certainly an
(1/3) Early in his ministry, Jesus finished a powerful teaching to a large crowd on the north shores of the Sea of Galilee near Capernaum. He then asks to be taken to another region on the south side of the water. The Gospel of Mark reports:
Certain men are born with big, self-sufficient personalities. They are wired to win and to lead, not merely to participate. Some apply these qualities in competitive athletics, politics, business pursuits, scientific discovery, or the military. They are larger-than-life men like Joshua who was told by God:
Early in the Gospel of Luke we find a familiar story where Mary and Joseph are frantically searching in Jerusalem for three days, looking for their 12-year-old son Jesus. Finally finding Him in the Temple, speaking with the elders, the boy asks his parents, “Why did you seek Me? Did
While not claiming to speak for all non-believers (although I used to be one), I believe that many such people are actually searching for deep truths. They are continuously and severely disappointed by “religious” people who repetitively quote banal phrases while claiming to have profound beliefs. In other words, there
When God intervenes in the affairs of men, He draws their attention, sometimes quietly but occasionally with high drama. On the day when He summoned Moses to a legendary assignment at Pharaoh’s court, the Lord started a brush fire in the middle of the desert. That’s a clever way to
