The ministry of ICR has many different facets, and, of course, we specialize in studying origins and the book of Genesis. However, regardless of whether we are involved in technical scientific research, or communicating information to the public, our major aims include seeing people commit their lives to Jesus Christ, and building up the faith and witnessing ability of Christians.

Someone once asked me how we should approach those from totally different cultures who were coming to live in the culture we have grown up in. Should we urge them to capitulate totally to our own cultural ways or should we encourage them to maintain all of their own cultural distinctions as they live within our culture? How should we approach this issue?

If we take God at His Word, we must say that a straightforward reading of Genesis makes it obvious that there was no death or bloodshed of animals before Adam was created. In fact, there was no death or bloodshed of man or animals until after Adam sinned.

From Genesis to Revelation, interpreting Scripture with Scripture, it is plain to see that this was so. Consider:

In the article last month, we discussed the fact that many (in fact most) Christian colleges do not teach a literal Genesis, and compromise with evolution in some way. Many people send their children to such colleges, not realizing that their faith will be weakened and even destroyed. We looked at testimonies from some who had amended such colleges.

How do you go about choosing a Christian college suitable for your children? Many parents look at the great sports programs, or how prestigious a school is considered to be. Others simply want their children to attend their alma mater.
