God created all.
Yes we all know this at least those of us who believe in our Father God.
But many in this world are trying to erase God from everything.
But notice when they find a reason to erase God something happens and the story changes.
At least some if not most of the time.
Sometimes they are so set on being correct about why God should be erased nothing stops them.
Even being wrong.
Let’s look back on just my life.
Now even though I did not always serve God faithfully I was basically raised on God’s Word.
When I was a young child Genesis 1:1 stated.
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.
And our neighborhood was generally safe with low crime rates and little or no drug use etc.
When I was in my teens say 14 to 18 in Genesis 1:1it stated.
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.
Crime was up the neighborhood was still somewhat safe.
Sniffing and huffing were issues.
The music we listened to was creating our problems as teenagers.
Now I never sniffed or huffed and the music never made me go do wrong.
After I graduated and before and around then the Bible still stated in Genesis 1:1.
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.
Children could not be disciplined by their parents because the problem with children was.
The parents punished them when they did wrong.
So the parents was suppose to not ask not touch.
A few years later in the Bible Genesis 1:1 continues to state.
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.
Now the parents need to reach out more to their children.
Being a Christian is fine as long as you don’t pray before ball games or any public function.
And most of the erasing of God happened because one person spoke up and said.
This offends me.
Even as Genesis 1:1 states.
In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth.
Remains the same.
See where this is going?
Then let’s stand and proclaim that our rights are under attack.
And as a Child of God this offends me.
But I am willing to go and do as our Father God directs.
See this erasing of God use to only affect me.
Or so that was my thinking.
Now I am married with two lovely baby girls.
And well let’s just say.
You take from my babies and I get upset.
But I wonder how many say they will stand then back down because of so and so or their reputation is under fire?
Oh yes that was suppose to be placed on this paper.
Now if Genesis 1:1 remains unchanged through out many, many years of trials and test.
Then why do some so-called Christian’s change to please others and not remain unchanged?
Yes remain unchanged to please the one who’s name is first even in the Bible at Genesis 1:1.
In the beginning who?
Yes God our Father God.
Not Joe smith or miss I’m offended.
God our Father God who created the Heavens and the Earth.
With all the erasing of God that people are attempting I wonder.
Are we going back to the beginning?
See in Genesis 1:2 it states.
Now the Earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep and the spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Yes are we walking around formless and empty and allowing darkness to overcome us from deep below as the spirit of God hovers over us the living water?
Not me.
I’m one who said light me up Father God because I am truly Yours.
Yes in Genesis 1:3.
And God said, “Let there be light.” and there was light.
Yes this is referring to the creation of the world.
But will you be the light of God that shines mightily for all to see?
Yes will you agree to
