“Ladies and gentleman, come see the amazing high wire act! Watch closely as he crosses the chasm on a tightrope without a net!” Well, at least that’s what it feels like for me.
On September 8 and September 15 we will be doing our annual Q Series at Calvary Assembly of God. These are Sundays where I don’t prepare a sermon, but I prepare myself to answer questions that are thrown at me on any topic. And I feel a little like the man walking on a tightrope without a net.
Here we go!
If you’d like to submit a question, you can do so in the comments below. You can always send questions to me via Twitter or email. If you won’t be able to attend the services, we’ll make an audio link available with my answer to your question.
If you can attend in person (each of these Sundays at 10:30am), we will have a text number available so you can anonymously text your question to the computer techs.
It’s always fun and educational, so I hope you will be able to join us.

Pastor Owens, I am glad you are open to some questions.
There are a number of creation time theories floating around. I have heard of the literal 6 twenty-four days of creation and one day of rest. Then there is the 7 periods of time, perhaps each period being billions of years. I heard of the gap theory in Genesis where God created the heavens and earth then much later created human life.
There are those who say the big bang theory contradicts the bible. And others who see the big bang as God literally throwing the universe from the palm of his hand. I even read lately that the universe is billions of years old from the point of origin but only seven thousand years old from the earth’s time perspective. Golly, seems to be a smorgasbord of theories.
There are those who fear an old earth equates to evolution of life. Not quite sure why they see the link. Anyway I hope this is a question you will consider answering.
Thanks in advance, Duane
