Dr Tackett is blessed with the ability to communicate Gods biblical truth as it pertains to social order. Church, Family, Government, and Labor is ordered and reflects the image of God when understood in a biblical worldview. It is apparent that within all social structure there is a defined order consistent with the very nature of God, if they are blurred, compromised or misunderstood it will perpetuate chaos within the social structure. Richard Shaull writes, God maintains the unity and harmony of the universe against the threats of disorder and chaos, and the king is the divine representative to do the same on earth. The state belongs to the "ontocratic" order; it is the embodiment of cosmic totality; and the king is therefore the guardian, executor, and servant of cosmic order, which is also the basis of order in society. Social institutions and classes constituting the status quo are divinely ordained.
Today all over the world, culture deconstructs Gods natural order. An errant philosophy has taken hold that all history is constructed, that there is no single true history, no single truth, that all societies, all systems of law are mere constructs; they may be deconstructed and reconstructed differently.
Rita Joseph on an article about the disruption of Gods Natural law also writes.
Around the world, legislatures, judiciaries and the media are also caught up in this nonsense, all in a ludicrous attempt to free human activity from the moral constraints, Gods order. Even fundamental institutions like marriage and the family are being ordered differently,
experimentally and it is a direct assult on Gods order and natural law.
We must be able to discern this truth and recognize the assault against Gods social order.
If we believe what we believe is really real. My when we gaze upon the face of God it is obvious, there is no direction in which we can travel that God has not spoken. Are we listening?
God Bless

Science. Should Christians fear looking into the microscope?
Darwin's Theory of Evolution - What do you think? A Theory In Crisis. Darwin's Theory of Evolution is a theory in crisis in light of the tremendous advances we've made in molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics over the past fifty years. We now know that there are in fact tens of thousands of irreducibly complex systems on the cellular level. Specified complexity pervades the microscopic biological world. Molecular biologist Michael Denton wrote, "Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, weighing less than 10-12 grams, each is in effect a veritable micro-miniaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up altogether of one hundred thousand million atoms, far more complicated than any machinery built by man and absolutely without parallel in the non-living world." And we don't need a microscope to observe irreducible complexity. The eye, the ear and the heart are all examples of irreducible complexity, though they were not recognized as such in Darwin's day. Nevertheless, Darwin confessed, "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."
Darwin also confessed, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. Biochemist Micheal Behe has put forth exactly that, the theory of irreducible complexitiy. By irreducibly complex I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning. If it was never functioned the process of evolution would have eliminated the part thus never being able to evolve the other parts in which to function, pointing directy to a Designer/Creator.
Science and philosophy today refuse to look outside of ourselves and never will consider the alternative to evolution no matter how much science points to a designer. We do not need to be afraid to gaze into a microscope.
The scientists, biologists, philosophers and stark Aethiests of today will not look outside the box and gaze upon the face of God. They will all say it looks designed, it appears designed, but remind yourself, it is not design, it is not design.
Michael Behe in his book Darwins Black Box, states. "Now, the black box has been opened up and we know how it works. Applying Darwin's test to the ultra-complex world of molecular machinery and cellular systems that have been discovered over the past 40 years, we can say that Darwin's theory has absolutely broken down."
Remarkable how Paul in Romans 1:18-20 states exactly this which is taking place.
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
Yet excuses are plenty.
Be Blessed

Who is man?
If we are to understand who man is, we must understand who God says man is. We where made in the image and likeness of God and we carry that in us. But since the first Sin against God we are fallen, seperated from him through our sin. We are broken therefore we are not inherently good and are in a perpetual conflict within ourselves.
Galatians 5:16-17
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. It is saying that man is Sinful, and when we need a Savior.
Even with the spirit dwelling within us we are still at conflict but we must not buy the alternate philosophies that says man is good and our ultimate objective is self actualization. We need to get in touch with our inner nature. Is Man inherently good? Does man have a propensity for evil? Culture today says no. From a Biblical worldview the scriptural truth says, Put to death your earthly nature.
Colossians 3:5-10
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.b 7You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator
The Biblical worldview is directly opposite of Cultures view? We need to look at the question of
who is man from both views to understand and be able to discern between them and rely on the truth of God to guide us and reveal who man is?
