Creation in the Beginning.

Genesis 1:24-31
24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

I challenge you to read all of Genesis 1 - the first chapter of the Bible to see how God created everything you see on Earth in a matter of six days. It amazes that God placed the first people on Earth, Adam and Eve. They introduced sin way back when in the garden of Eden with apples.

At DCLA, an amazing thing was that we pretty much covered the entire Bible. We started out with Adam and Eve on Friday night and by Monday morning we were well into the New Testament in the book of Acts. Of course it was impossible to go through every last book, but we got the key parts I suppose. Everything was taught so well and brought down to a level that everyone could acquire and maintain interest, understand, and remember.

The thing that I learned about the most in this passage was the idea that God said, "and it was very good." He was very pleased with his creations and accomplishment at the end of each day. It reminded me that I should be pleased and happy toward his property here on Earth. I should also be very respectful. Last but not least, everyone that the Lord created is one-in-a-million and I should treat everyone just like that!

The Skit Guys were at our conference and they are so funny. They also give insight to what the Bible says in a humorous way. I have a video below that I want to share with you. They did this skit at our conference opening night. It was recorded prior to that night. It's still good and the script is the same that we saw. Sorry, this is the best video I could find. You might have to turn your volume up to hear over all the laughing!

P.S. If you have trouble with the video stopping and starting, keep the video paused, and let it "buffer" (load) as it's called for a while. You will see the red bar along the bottom advance (speed depends on your Internet connection). Wait until that bar gets pretty far along (I'd say more than halfway) before you play the video and it shouldn't pause.
