A few days ago I saw a T-Shirt with this phrase: “Don’t think of yourself as an ugly person. Think of yourself as a beautiful monkey.” This shirt was soaked full of the lie of evolution - that we evolved from apes. If you wring this shirt out, you will see that it contained the evolutionary and humanistic ideas that have dirtied our Christian culture. If the media says it’s true, isn’t it truth?
I beg to differ.
It was a grievous occurrence for me to see a shirt which was such an abomination to the Lord. We are all created in God’s very own image. That’s what separates us from the animals. God created us in his very own likeness and we were “fearfully and wonderfully made.” But we’ve tainted our lives with the black mark of sin and disobedience. However, our Maker came to this world He created, and saved us from sin, when our Lord hung on a tree. Since we were created by Him, we are accountable to Him. Many children aren’t taught that they are accountable to God or that they’ve been created in His image. We truly find our “self-worth” in Him, not because we’ve done anything good. Matt. 19:17 says, So, He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.” The myth of evolution leaves us destitute, but the truth of God’s Word gives us hope.
