The Scarlet Cord - Moriel Ministries

Her redemption was not just eternal,
it was temporal. Whatever we are, whatever
our background, God wants to turn
it around and use it for His purpose and
our blessing in the salvation of others. He
takes all of us to the cross and crucifies our
good points as well as our bad. On the other
hand, He saves all of us; He saves our good
points and bad and uses it all for His purpose
and redemption.
Rahab desired the salvation of her family.
Every day and every time we think of
it, we need to be praying for the repentance
and salvation of our loved ones. There is
nothing more important than our own walk
with the Lord.
Rahab switched allegiances. We cannot
trust in this world and the world that is coming.
We cannot trust in this fallen kingdom of
Satan and the Kingdom that is coming soon
to replace it. We have to make a decision—to
which kingdom does our allegiance belong
“Do not go out!” Stay in fellowship with
others who believe the truth. One way to
think of a church that holds to the Word of
God is a lifeboat on a Titanic that is sinking.
Remember, this is not a social club for
nice people; it is a rehab center for sinners.
“Do not betray!” Many will fall away and
betray one another (Mt. 24:10). Be wary of
those who follow false doctrines; they cannot
be trusted. They may be Christians, they
may say they are born again, they may be
nice people, but if they are believing false
doctrines, following false teachers, do not
trust them.
But above all, get ahold of that scarlet
cord and hang it in the window. Though our
sins are like scarlet, in the grace of the Lord
Jesus Christ, they shall be white as snow.
God bless.

An exhibit in the new Giants’
Causeway Visitors’ Centre acknowledges
the creationist view of how the
world-famous stones were formed.
The National Trust said it wanted
to “reflect and respect” the fact that
some people contest the views of
mainstream science.
Its state-of-the-art new complex,
which opened on Tuesday, features
an interactive audio exhibition showcasing
the stories and the science behind
the Giants’ Causeway.
It looks at the origins of the basaltic
columns on the Co Antrim coastline.
The trust said that the exhibit gives
recognition to the fact that, for creationists,
the debate about the age
of the Earth is still ongoing.
A statement read: “The Giants’
Causeway has always prompted debate
about how it was formed and
how old it is.
“One of the exhibits in the Giants’
Causeway Visitors’ Centre interpretation
tells the story of the part the Giants’
Causeway played in the debate
about how the Earth’s rocks were
formed and the age of the Earth.
“This is an interactive audio exhibition
in which visitors can hear some
of the different debates from historical
characters.
“In this exhibition we also acknowledge
that for some people, this debate
continues today and we reflect
and respect the fact that creationists
today have a different perspective
on the age of the Earth from that of
mainstream science.”
The National Trust worked alongside
the Caleb Foundation, which
represents mainstream evangelical
Christians in Northern Ireland, during
the development of the centre.
Its chairman, Wallace Thompson,
said he is pleased with the result of
the engagement and the inclusion of
the creationist view.
“We have worked closely with the
National Trust over many months
with a view to ensuring that the new
Feature Article – Continued
Creationist Headway in
Northern Ireland
Causeway Visitor Centre includes an
acknowledgement both of the legitimacy
of the creationist position on
the origins of the unique Causeway
stones and of the ongoing debate
around this,” Mr Thompson said.
“We want to thank senior National
Trust officials who have worked
closely with us over a prolonged period,
and we are pleased that this
constructive engagement has helped
to bring about such a positive result.
“This is, as far as we are aware, a
first for the National Trust anywhere
in the UK, and it sets a precedent for
others to follow.”
Over 600,000 visitors come to see
the Unesco World Heritage Site every
year.
The £18.5m new centre, which
takes the form of an underground
complex with a sloping grass roof
hiding it from view, opened its doors
to the public some 11 years after the
previous one was destroyed in a fire.
