The skeptic irreverently cries, "Science disproves God!" The reality of the matter is much different. Any honest evaluation of the abundant scientific evidence available points unabashedly to a Creator of this universe. Behold the Builder seeks to introduce this evidence in two key areas-historical sciences and intelligent design. These two areas are explored in twelve brief chapters with thought-provoking subjects such as: understanding dinosaurs and the Bible, what the fossils do and do not say, what intelligent design is, what scientists are actually saying and believing, and a host of other practical matters! The only reasonable conclusion, when all is said and done, is that the God of the Bible is the Creator and Sustainer of our universe. And while God is not measurable in a test tube, He has not left Himself without witness (Acts 14:17). We do well to observe this witness in order to love the Lord our God with all of our mind (Luke 10:27).

As a local church, we are to function in harmony as the body of Christ. As in any relationship, working together does not come automatically but takes the concentrated effort of each part. We must LEARN to interact with one another according to the principles of God. As the Psalmist exclaimed, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity" (Psa. 133:1). It is in this unity that the light of Jesus will be most brilliantly reflected and the work of the Lord most effectively accomplished. In this series of lessons, we will focus on a phrase that occurs about 99 times in the New Testament - "one another." In the original language, this phrase is actually from one word "allelon" and is used in about 60 contexts in ways which help us understand our responsibilities to each other. This series of lessons focuses on understanding these contexts to reflect this "one another" Christianity. These lessons are designed to be growth sessions, not gripe sessions. If anything is accomplished, each of us must begin with application to self before making constructive comments about the actions of others.

Genesis not only introduces us to the beginning of creation, but also the beginning of God's plan to solve the problem of sin. In the lives of Abraham and Lot, we see what faith looks like as it journeys with God. We will see many lessons from the lives of these two men and others as God plan unfolds.

A lack of respect for God and disregard of His authority is the underlying cause of every departure from truth and every division in the body of Christ. Even though the Old Testament has many examples of those who acted without divine authority and were punished by God for such action, and though the New Testament warns repeatedly of this danger and the subsequent penalty, still in each generation there are many who profess to believe in Christ, and serve Him, who act without divine authority. These lessons are set forth with the hope they can help others have greater respect for God and His word, to have a fuller realization of the need of authority from God in our service to Him, and to learn how to apply the lessons of authority to other problems and situations that shall arise in this generation and generations to come.
