Random Thoughts: The Religion of Evolution


Have you ever witnessed a monkey turn into a human? Have you ever witnessed an Ape having a human baby? What then make Evolution different than Creation? You either have faith that you evolved from an animal or you have faith that you were created by an all loving, powerful, creator. Either way, you operate using blind faith. Evolution has been dis-proven more times than Glynn Wolfe was married, yet people still follow it.

People will not embrace Christianity because they did not see God create them, yet they will embrace evolution even though they did not see themselves evolve from an animal. In fact have we discovered anything that has evolved into a new and totally different species? Evolution is merely another religion supported and created by scientist.

Community Group Fun

Last night our church had Group Link to help get new people plugged into a Community Group.
Up to this point there has only been 3 groups available, but last night that increased to 11. I took a picture of some of the things my group was offering to get people to sign up and join our group.
“50% off Registration”
“$100,000 in Monopoly Money since they use a credit card now”
“Bingo Night every 3rd Sunday”
“The Carnes Group, where God is and where you should be!”
“Free Collectible Jesus Action Figure and Bobble Heads”
“Smiling Faces and lessons on picking your friends nose”

It was tons of fun!!!

Sunday School Attendance Board


I am cleaning off my cell phone and came across some pictures that I took with the intent of posting them on here. Here is something I have not seen in years, a Sunday School Attendance Board, this was hung at the church where my sister got hitched to her now husband. They got married in Matt’s (her husband’s) church. Matt was in town with Jamela the week before this was taken, which means he is the reason the attendance was down to 97 the week prior. Shame, Shame, Shame…you shouldn’t be missing Sunday School.

A Church Without Walls

Sunday morning I visited a friends church called, “A Church Without Walls.” They’ve been meeting for about 2 months and are up to 40 people. They meet in downtown Augusta in the middle of Broad Street, as you can see there is a median where people can sit and hangout. They are seeing people come to know Christ and grow in their relationship with him. This was so cool. Their target is the homeless and the extremely low income or people living in poverty. God is using them greatly here. I could not help but to think that this is how Jesus would probably do church, minus the pulpit they have in the picture (they really use it as a sign holder). There is no issues with dress, no legalities, no politics, just people loving people and sharing God’s message of hope and salvation with them. They’ve even started a Monday night group in a nearby home for the elderly for discipleship. They have plenty of great stories already, but the funnest experience is to watch people interact who have no church experience…if they see someone they know crossing the street, they will yell out to them in the middle of the service…they just don’t know, and to me, that is cool!
