A True Saint Goes Home
On Saturday, February 25, Dr. Henry M. Morris went to be with the Creator he so vigorously defended and deeply loved. Dr. Morris is widely considered to be the father of the modern creation movement. As co-author of The Genesis Flood (along with John Whitcomb) he sparked the biblical creation revolution that is still gaining steam in our society. He was a tireless writer and speaker. He founded The Institute for Creation Research (www.icr.org) and served as its president until his son John replaced him in the 1990s.
Dr. Morris has had a huge impact in my life. I have read many of his books and listened to numerous lectures. I even had the privilege of meeting him while visiting The Institute for Creation Research. His influence on others, such as Ken Ham and the folks at Answers in Genesis, has indirectly increased my faith in God’s Word. A colleague told me today (February 28) that she believed Dr. Morris had done more to defend the book of Genesis than any person in history. She is probably right.
Although many Christians do not know about him, they have undoubtedly been impacted by his life. His work has had a large impact on the tremendous growth of the home school and Christian school movements.
Thank you Dr. Morris for living such an uncompromising life and demonstrating how to do it in a humble and loving manner. We look forward to seeing you again.

We are continuing to plan for the upcoming Creation Apologetics Conference at Living Waters Bible Camp (May 12 – 13) featuring Carl Kerby from Answers in Genesis. We have received word that the talks may be recorded on DVD. If this becomes a reality then we will be able to offer Tim’s talk on DVD in the near future. For more information on the conference please download the brochure here.
We are continuing to expand our Q & A section of the website. If you have any questions you would like to see answered, please email them to us.

The Da Vinci Code
The Da Vinci Code remains in the news because of a recent lawsuit, which alleges that author Dan Brown stole numerous ideas from an earlier book entitled Holy Blood, Holy Grail. Regardless of the outcome of this case, the blasphemous concepts promoted in both books continue to undermine the faith of many. Be prepared to answer questions concerning the upcoming movie, The Da Vinci Code, starring Tom Hanks. Here is our list of articles on that subject.

Please pray for the following items this month:
- Tim’s upcoming trip with his students to spend a week working at the Creation Museum (please pray that the students will be blessed as they strive to be a blessing to others). This will be from March 17th through the 24th.
- Gayla S. – the niece of a close friend of Midwest Apologetics has recently been intellectually convinced of the Christian faith but needs to take that step of faith to place her life in Christ’s hands. Please pray that she will take that next step.
- PRAISE!!! – Tim’s house sold on February 20th. He is officially “settled in” in the Tri-State area. Thank you for your prayers on this issue.
As always, if you have any questions, comment, concerns, corrections, ideas, etc., please email us and let us know. Also, thank you for your prayers. Please keep us in your prayers throughout this month.
