In 2007 a
group of us gathered to plan a Darwin’s Day 2009 celebration. We were going to
celebrate the Creator’s majesty with drama and music. We outlined a story. A
script writer would pen the drama. I had written thirteen songs based on thirteen
creation passages in the Bible. A professional musician would arrange the music
for his group. They would perform music and drama. We would book venues around
the city. Then … our script writer started grad school. Our professional
musician changed jobs. Both had to bow out due to time constraints. We had no
Darwin’s Day 2009 celebration.
What could I do with a bare outline of a story and a few songs? I finalized the story line and wove it between songs I had written. I now had a musical that any worship team (yours!) could adapt and make their own.
The Majesty of the Maker!
He’s a homicide detective and a new father. He wants
something real, something solid to pass on to his son.
He discovered the Bible’s claims about creation match
reality:
·
The creation Psalm matches reality.
The Majesty of the Maker from Psalm 104
·
The Cause of the universe must lie outside the
universe.
Son of God’s Love from Colossians 1:15-17[1]
·
Life cannot exist unless the universe is
stretched out.
Fingerprint from Isaiah 40:21-18[2]
·
The Genesis creation account matches reality.
The Odds from Genesis 1[3]
·
The Genesis creation account of man matches
reality.
Family Tree from Genesis 2:7-25[4]
He discovered the Bible’s claims about God and people
match reality:
·
People are immeasurably valuable, yet deeply
flawed.
Garden of Decision from Genesis 3:15[5]
·
If the Creator became a man, he would be like
Jesus.
The Word from John1:1-18[6]
·
Jesus promises to meet the deepest longings of
the heart.
Christmas Every Day from Revelation 21:1-5[7]
·
The Creator’s promises can be tested.
A Sure Bet from Jeremiah 33:25-26[8]
·
We instinctively know that the Creator exists.
Secret Lives from Romans 1:18-20[9]
He weighed the evidence:
·
Creation shows the existence and grandeur of
God.
A Prayer from Psalm 19:1-3, 14[10]
·
The Creator is good, loving, and just.
I Cry to God from the book of Job[11]
·
The Creator can be trusted when pain engulfs.
You Are There from Psalm 139[12]
