You're Not A Christian If.....

If the cross of Christ has not radically disrupted the very epicenter and citadel of your life, from self-righteousness, self-esteem, self-worth, self-promotion, self-accomplishment, self-confidence, self-rule, self-glory, self-satisfaction, self-desire, self-will, self-honor, self-praise, self-regard, self-pity, self-sufficiency, self-love, self-admiration, and a host of the many disguised manifestations of the abomination of selfhood....friend, you're not a Christian.

If only you have experienced but a minor shift in a few of your ethical, moral and religious values neurotically tickled by the sensual excitement of idolatry masquerading as "worship", that proves nothing but simply a sewing together the fig-leaves of humanism to both inadequately cover the nakedness of our sinfulness and adorn & indulge the wretchedness of our fleshly nature....friend, you're not a Christian.

If the engorged egotism and flatulent narcissism that plagues the ir
reverent and mediocre religion of disobediently postmodern evangelicals is all that you have clung to by the vainglorious tendrils of smoke in the popularity of false religion and thereby have held to many Scripturally untenable positions by a false carnal hope, whilst emphatically calling Jesus your 'Lord, Lord'....friend, you're not a Christian.

If you did not die with Christ Jesus, and if you do not die daily to self, and if you are not living a crucified life in Christ: my dear friend, I lovingly plead with you to hear me when I soberly tell you....you are not a Christian.

"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me." -- Galatians 2:20

Ps 139 exalts God and praises Him as personal Creator. It shows that He creates individuals with vast incomprehensible knowledge, power, skill, care, and purpose. This is not what evolution does. God our personal Creator cares for man, especially His elect whom He leads personally. This causes believers to praise Him, thank Him, be in awe of Him, and trust Him. Those who deny the sound doctrine of a literal six day Creation week do none of those things and instead devalues not only God and His absolute sovereign right over all creation, but also devalues man and sin. This is why those who deny Creation justify and tolerate sexual immorality.

Psa 139:13  For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 
Psa 139:14  I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 
Psa 139:15  My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 
Psa 139:16  Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. 

God's Creation

 Ps. 104 shows God's personal creation, care, maintenance and sustaining of His creation.

Psa 104:9  You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth. 

There won't be a global warming that causes the oceans to rise and destroy the coastlands. Climate change won't be drastic because God promised to maintain the weather and sovereignly reign over it (Gen. 8:22 as well).

Psa 104:24  O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. 

Evolution denies God created all things in WISDOM. It denies God's due glory, worship, and fear, and it denies God's personal creation and sustaining of it, as well as His coming destruction of it in righteous judgment.

Evolution is illogical, without wisdom, purpose, and order, is deadly, and theoretically develops things frivolously resulting (glorifying) death without reason.

Evolution denies the value and high rank of mankind made in God's image.
