To help others understand that Christ is their Creator, use the approach the Bible says always provokes a living conscience: "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made" (Romans 1:20).

At a conference last year, a Christian schoolteacher asked an ICR speaker if he was part of the Intelligent Design Movement. "No," he stated. "I belong to the Intelligent Designer Movement."

The teacher asked, "What's the difference?"

"Jesus!" the ICR speaker replied. "We know who the Intelligent Designer is, and we know about Him through His book."

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:7)

O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. (Daniel 12:4)

As children, we used to receive Valentines from classmates, cards and candy that somehow always seemed to strike fear and trepidation in the boys each February. Our culture has turned this month into the "love" month, but unfortunately most who celebrate "love" during February are led only by giddy emotions, rather than by other, more important characteristics of love.

Anniversaries are exciting events, particularly when they celebrate decades of commitment, as is the case in 2010 with the 40th anniversary of the Institute for Creation Research. Our usual "Year in Review" issue has a wonderful new dimension, a celebration not only of the many blessings of 2009, but also a reflection on the working of God over the past 40 years at ICR.
