Today there are numerous attacks taking place upon the authority of God’s Word. The mantra in society today is often what we see communicated by Satan in Genesis 3:1–”Yea hath God said?” The result is that many are turning their backs on God’s Word and the result is that great efforts have been underway to remove God from the halls of government and academia. However, even more alarming is the increasing number of churches and other Christian institutions that are doing much the same thing. This merely echoes the words of the serpent from Genesis 3.
Joining Jim to bring his perspective on this battle as he looked back at 30 years of ministry, Crosstalk welcomed Ken Ham. Ken is the founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis-US, and the highly acclaimed Creation Museum, and the world-renowned Ark Encounter. Ken is a biblical apologist and is one of the most in-demand Christian speakers in North America. He became internationally known for his 2014 creation/evolution debate with Bill Nye “the Science Guy.” He’s the host of the daily radio broadcast, Answers…with Ken Ham heard on stations across the country. He is the author of more than 30 books including Creation to Babel: A Commentary for Families, Divided Nation, Six Days, Will They Stand? and numerous others.
Ken moved to the U.S. in 1987 and he compared the spiritual atmosphere then in the U.S. with what it’s like now. He described America now as “…very, very secularized and anti-Christian.” The result, as Ken noted, is that Christians have become the enemy in American culture. So if you stand for God’s Word in regard to marriage, pro-life or male/female genders, you’ll be accused of hate speech, intolerance, misogyny and homophobia. This has even impacted the church as many have gone “woke” and become soft on such issues.
Ken described how this goes hand-in-hand with the generational loss in the church. Less than 9% of Generation “Z” attends church whereas if you go back to the 1700’s, 75-80% of the population attended church in America.
So it was December of 1993 that Answers in Genesis became legally incorporated due to the concern from Ken and his co-founders over the spiritual erosion that was taking place and the attack upon the authority of God’s Word.
Listen and discover how Answers in Genesis, the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum are uniquely positioned to uphold the authority of God’s Word as Ken describes how the life-size Noah’s Ark was built, Bill Nye’s reaction when going through the ark, the new executive CEO of Answers in Genesis, the burden Ken has regarding the state of today’s church, Ken’s rebuttal of statements from Pastor Andy Stanley and much more.
