Summer Flowers at the Chapel

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew 6:28–34

Listen to “God Is Love – the Trinity!” By “Grandma“ Joelee, a free Children’s Bible Audios apologetics audio

Listen to God is Love – the Trinity!

A free apologetics Children’s Bible Audios-Stories for Kids by “Grandma” Joelee. It presents the Trinity not as a problem, but a solution, using the Bible, apologetics, and analogies.

The story behind the Bible story for kids: The purpose of this audio was to take a broad scope of reasons for and apologetics for the Trinity and present them in an interesting way for little kids. I, her son, I have used these in witnessing to Jehovah’s Witnesses, Muslims, and Bahia. But she puts these in language that little kids can understandand enjoy. Also, she presents this as a positive case so as not to raise any doubts for children.

She uses verses from the Bible in Genesis, the Gospel of Matthew, and the gospel of John; arguments from Augustine, CS Lewis, Josh McDowell, and Richard Swinburne; and imagery from Athanasius and the Nicene creed (and an orthodox version of the water analogy). She  connects the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, to the Gospel in presenting it for kids.

The Trinity is the solution to the question  as to how God can be the ultimate, not need anyone else, and also be love!

Read “How a Jew Came to Know and Put his Trust in The Lord Jesus Christ” by Tom Cantor

Read the testimony of Tom Cantor, “How a Jew Came to Know and Put his Trust in The Lord Jesus Christ” –

“My name is Tom Cantor and I am president and founder of Scantibodies Laboratory – a company which grew out of a tiny garage and a $130 investment some 30 years ago, to a nearly 500-person, worldwide company today. You might think that business and science is my life’s passion. But, I have one passion in life and His name is the Lord Jesus Christ. So, how did a Jew, the grandson of an orthodox Rabbi, come to have his life transformed by the Lord Jesus Christ? I would like to tell you.

I was born into a typical Los Angeles Jewish family…”

Tom also has an updated and expanded testimony “Changed”. (He usually teaches the Chapel’s adult Sunday school, and the first, second, third, and fifth Sundays of the month.)

https://creationsd.org/visit/

This is a great place to visit and learn about God and his creation. Originally founded by the Institute for Creation Research, Tom Cantor now operates the museum and has greatly expanded it. It now has not only a larger museum about creation, but also has a section about the Tabernacle.

“DAILY MUSEUM ADMISSION PRICES

$6 Seniors (60+)
$6 Active Military
$3 Youth (5-12)
FREE Children Ages 4 and under”

Museum admission includes all exhibits, Dinosaur Gardens and the Tabernacle Theater” https://creationsd.org/visit/admission/

“The exhibits in the Creation & Earth History Museum are based on true Biblical history, beginning with Creation in Genesis 1. This journey will continue through the rebellion of humanity against the Creator, the worldwide Flood of Noah’s time, the dispersion at Babel, the history of Israel and the Gentile nations, the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, and the consummation of God’s purposes for creation when Jesus returns. Many museum exhibits are also devoted to explaining how modern day scientific and historical evidence confirms the biblical account, and some such as the Human Anatomy Wing, showcase the miraculous, ingenious, and harmonious biological structures that our Creator has designed for life…” Read more here https://creationsd.org/about/exhibits/

“THE HISTORY:
Dr. Henry Morris’ Institute for Creation Research launched the Creation and Earth History Museum in 1992. For 16 years, ICR developed and grew the exhibits with a mission to equip believers with evidence of the Bible’s accuracy and authority through scientific research, educational programs, and media presentations, all conducted within a thoroughly biblical framework. Upon ICR’s move to Texas in 2008, the entire museum and its contents were sold to Scantibodies Laboratory, Inc.
Tom Cantor, the owner of Scantibodies Laboratory, Inc., and his wife Cheryl founded a non-profit 501c3 ministry called the Life and Light Foundation. The Life and Light Foundation owns and operates the museum and continues creation evangelism.

MISSION:
To provide scriptural and scientific evidence that reinforces the biblical account of creation and to support the body of Christ in fulfilling its great commission by offering educational and evangelistic opportunities through interactive museum experiences and activities.” https://creationsd.org/about/museum-history/
