Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7)
During this season of thanksgiving, let us reflect on one of our Heavenly Father’s greatest gifts—wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to apply knowledge correctly. The Holy Bible is the ultimate source of wisdom, teaching us how to live, think, and steward all that the Lord has entrusted to us.
At the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), we continually seek this kind of godly wisdom. Much like our scientific research, true wisdom begins by asking the Lord Jesus for understanding. As James 1:5 teaches, “if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” Every project, study, and discovery at ICR starts with that prayerful dependence on Him.
Through your faithful financial support, ICR is able to gain and share valuable knowledge through sound scientific research—helping the Church better interpret, trust, and understand the Bible. Your partnership transforms creation science knowledge into wisdom that strengthens faith, equips believers, and points the world to our Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Your year-end gift directly supports our efforts in three key areas:
• Educational programs that equip churches and schools
• Outreach initiatives that proclaim the truth of creation
When you give to ICR, you’re standing alongside us on the front lines of a spiritual battle, declaring that truth still matters and that God’s Word can be trusted from beginning to end.
Here are a few ways you can make a meaningful impact through a year-end gift today:
• A recurring monthly gift to sustain vital ministry all year long.
• A gift of stock, IRA distribution, or Donor-Advised Fund grant—a strategic way to give that may also provide tax benefits.
The opportunities before us are tremendous. ICR’s research projects challenge evolutionary assumptions, offering a better explanation that aligns with Scripture. Our education and outreach teams are developing new tools to help pastors and parents teach creation truth with confidence. Our digital ministry is expanding rapidly, reaching audiences who are searching for answers, but may never step foot in church.
The Lord Jesus has uniquely positioned ICR to provide the research, resources, and reassurance that believers need to defend their faith in the Bible.
This Thanksgiving, we thank the Lord Jesus for you, your generosity, and your prayers as we boldly work together to proclaim His truth. All wisdom begins and ends with Him.
