God is Creator and Sustainer, which leads us to affirm the doctrines of creation and providence.

Without a clear, biblical doctrine of creation, the gospel makes no sense.

Christ died to redeem humanity. But how does the redemption of humanity affect the earth itself?

Sin's effects on the earth turned it into a graveyard, which it was never intended to be.

What is the connection between our sin and redemption and the creation itself? What does God have planned for the earth?

We live wisely when we live according to God's design instead of rebelling against it. The book of Proverbs shows that this is true wisdom.

What does it mean that God created the world "very good"? What has gone wrong, and how is it made right?

When it comes to our understanding of God and creation, we basically have four options: pantheism, atheism, panentheism, or theism.

God is creator and sustainer of all. Scripture teaches the distinct doctrines of creation and providence.
