The famous 19th Psalm reminds us that: “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.”
From this verse we understand that every man has seen the glory of God through His visible creation. Here is a simple way to start a discussion using this truth. Point out any building and ask, “Do you believe that this building had a builder? When they agree, ask “Do you know the builder personally, have you ever met him or seen him?” When they respond “No” ask, “How do you know that it was built?” Of course the building is evidence of the builder. Then point out the complexity of the DNA molecule, or the intricacy of our vision system, or the integration of our biological systems. No human design compares to God’s handiwork. Then ask, “Would you agree that this amazing creation is evidence of Creator?”
I’ve begun a conversation using this approach many times. It causes people to think and leads to life changing conversations. One warning though, don’t get bogged down in arguments, simply have good creation resources on hand to support your words. Turning their attention to our awesome Creator is only the first step. Tune in next time for the most essential step when witnessing.
