Now the evenings are getting lighter and warmer, there are more young people out on Friday nights, and witnessing is easier. Last night I spent the evening with a group of lads at the skateboard park. We spent a while chatting about their skateboards and then shared the Law and the Gospel with them.
They were so interested and hung on our every word. They have been so let down by so called Christians who say that Christianity is all about love and forgiveness without showing them the Law and how it affects them, and it has confused them. They think they’re all right and going to heaven and don’t even have a concern about the fact that they may be going to hell.
The Trinitarian Bible Society are sending me 20 free copies of the Bible to give out as I witness and we now have 1000 copies of ‘Finding God’s Way’ that we can give out too.
But what is most exciting is how God is beginning to move Christians, across our nation, to get back to sharing the law and the Ten Commandments as well as the gospel.
While I was talking with Anne Newman, at the TBS, I was telling her about how I have the opportunity to go into the local senior school on the 11th May, to share about the film and to share the Law and Gospel. She explained to me about their work at the moment. Anne Newman said,
“…we are currently mailing all the junior schools in these islands (takes several years, we write to 100 a week) offering the Ten Commandment Text Card, Bookmark and Poster and then offer Bibles as well if they are interested..”
It is really exciting to know that God is moving Christians across this land to share again the importance of the Ten Commandments, God’s Law.
If you have genuine contact with schools and want to have access to these free materials to give out then please contact me and I will pass your details on to Anne Newman of TBS.

I have decided to disable all comments as I really don’t have time to keep up with them all, to approve or answer them. I want to have more time to write articles and spend in studying. I have had over 1600 comments so far and it is just taking too much time. If you want to debate then you can go to my friend’s site Atheist Central
If you have a genuine question or want to contact me personally then please feel free to, but I will answer at my discretion.
Please feel free to subscribe so you can be informed when my new articles are posted.
This question came to my dad as a comment on my blog. He decided to write an article so that others may also benefit from the answer. I hope you enjoy this guest post from Andrew Drapper, my dad.
The commenter said:
“There is one Bible story in particular that I find difficult to accept as an actual event which in turn sheds doubt in general with regard to accepting the Bible as a literal record. Noah’s ark. Even with today’s technology I’m relatively sure it would be difficult, if not impossible, to build a vessel capable of housing two of each living thing on earth. Additionally there is the matter of food and water and keeping prey animals separate from their prey. The sheer size and logistics are a bit mind boggling.”
So, how was it done and is it possible?
Let us first have a look and see what the Bible says.
On 27th March I did a live interview with Tony Miano from Ambassadors Alliance Radio in the USA. You can listen below. (Oh, by the way, I didn’t know it was live until Tony asked me if I wanted to take a question from a listener!!!)
Recently I was asked by someone if I would answer some questions for their blog site so I thought I would put up the answers on here too. Hopefully this will give you a better picture of who I actually am.
1. Can you please tell us something about yourself?
My name is Deborah Joy Drapper. I love my name. Deborah Joy means ‘ joyful bee’ and I consider myself to be a happy, hard working, sweet girl, but with a sting in my tail!!
I was born in Essex, the 4th child in a family of 11 children. I have 3 sisters and 7 brothers ranging from 22yrs to 2yrs old. Seven years ago we moved down to Dorset where we live in a farmhouse, over a mile away from the nearest bus stop. We have several pets including 2 goats and 17 hens, so have our own milk and eggs, and I love to get out into the fresh air and help out.
I love pink and my room is full of pink things from my quilt cover and rug, to my fluffy pink pen and note book. I even have a pink tool bag full of pink screwdrivers and hammers!!!
Today in my school work I was studying the contrast between the evolution and the creation models and what predictions could be made concerning the fossil record.
Within the fossil record the creation model would predict to find:
Sudden appearance in great variety of highly complex forms
Sudden appearance of each created type with characteristics complete
Sharp boundaries separating major taxonomic groups
No transitional forms between higher categories
Within the fossil record the evolution model would predict to find:
Gradual change of simple forms into more and more complex forms
Transitional series linking all categories
No systematic gaps
Scientifically speaking, the model which can best explain and correlate the data is the better model. As I look at the fossils I find along the ‘Jurassic Coast’, and as I look through museums and text books, what I see supports the creation model better than the evolution model. If evolution were the better model then surely the museums should be full of the transitional fossils. After 150 years of intense searching a large number of obvious transitional forms would have been found if the predictions of the evolution model were valid.
It has been very interesting reading all your emails and comments about evolution and creation.
Before we start to discuss evolution and creation, it would be helpful if we first define what we are talking about.
Evolution can be broken down into six kinds of evolution.
Cosmic evolution- the origin of time, space and matter. Big Bang.
Chemical evolution- the origin of higher elements from hydrogen.
Stellar and planetary evolution- Origin of stars and planets.
Organic evolution- Origin of life from inanimate matter.
Macro-evolution- Origin of major kinds.
Micro-evolution – Variations within kinds.
None of the first five have been observed. Only the sixth one (Micro-evolution), has been observed. The first five have to be believed. They are believed, by faith, even though there is no empirical evidence to prove them in any way. I admire the great faith of the evolutionists who accept the first five.
