Word-Filled Wednesday ~#107~ In the Beginning . . . of Wisdom

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." ~Genesis 1:1 [emphasis, mine]

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." ~Proverbs 1:7

"How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?" ~Proverbs 1:22 

Last night was a much-anticipated debate between two different worlds: Believers in God and the truth of His Word (John 17:17) and those who are lost and do not believe. That main participants: Ken Ham and Bill Nye. Both very out-spoken in their fields. 

My simple observations are that ~ 1) Ken Ham was simply great; very competent, assured and calm. 2) Bill Nye made some decent points, but he was very brusk and often tried to keep Ken on the defensive by saying, "when you speak again, I would like for you to address . . . " or ". . . I would like for you to talk about . . . " 3) What a difference between the countenance, demeanor and delivery between someone who is being prayed for, who is confident in God's eternal truths and that of one who is not. 

Shortly after the debate, my Facebook friend, Pat, said it so well:

"Mr. Ken Ham ~ The BEST last words that a person can give on such a large stage of the public to hear! Thank you, for standing strong and speaking clearly, with truth and Great Assurance of what you believe! Great job for His glory tonight! . . . "Man must seek God and want God before God will give you understanding . . ." Might explain why Bill Nye has no understanding!"

"Come near to God and He will come near to you . . ." ~James 4:8(a)
