‘Community service’ … necessary at AiG

by Michael Matthews, AiG-US

This major new feature on our website—like so much else that AiG offers—wouldn’t be possible without sacrificial help from many volunteers who share AiG’s passion to get out the message of biblical authority.

The ‘archives project’—in the works for over two years—depended on hundreds of hours of volunteer work.  (Converting print to web is time-consuming!) 

‘Co-laborers’ are just as mandatory in the Lord’s work today as they were in the Apostle Paul’s day.  AiG would like to thank the following modern-day examples of Phebe, Aquila and Priscilla (Romans 16:1–4):

• Nathan Oertel, a college student who spent an entire summer helping AiG

• Sandy DeVoe, a busy mother who lives near the AiG-US headquarters

• Evelyn Lacey, the mother of AiG’s web content manager

Such examples of self-sacrificial service galvanize the regular staff at AiG.  It’s humbling to see non-staff members who are so motivated by the potential impact of Creation magazine (e.g. see this feedback) that they gladly devote a major part of their free time to provide this unique ‘community service.’ 

What you’ll find

Hundreds of powerful articles, representing years of research, are now at people’s fingertips.  Anyone who needs answers—anywhere in the world, any time of day or night—can simply click Article Archives on our home page, and find what they need! 

In addition to the labor of volunteers, several staff members spent countless hours, too.  Special thanks go to: Carl Kerby (AiG board member who started the website in 1996) for his original vision to provide AiG’s publications, including Creation magazine, online (see also AnswersInGenesis.org: How it all began) Frost Smith, web content manager, for her oversight of the project Dave Mateer for his design of the database program in 2001–2002 Kim Sparks, Stacia McKeever, Rita Angel and Jeremy Ham for data entry, editing and proofing AiG–Australia’s Creation magazine staff for providing much information and digital copies (as well as producing the magazine in the first place!)

The powerful, easy-to-use search engine allows searches by author, date, type of article, etc.  The archive has six years worth of Creation articles,¹ and the older issues will be added quickly—one new issue per month.

Truly a service to the community

Creation magazine is not just another ‘pretty magazine.’  Based on the testimonies we have received since the magazine began 25 years ago, we believe it is one of the most important tools that God has raised up to meet the challenges of the 21^st century.  If the church hopes to reclaim the culture, we believe it must recognize—and repent of—the past 200 years of compromise concerning God’s Word, particularly concerning the whole framework of Genesis history.  This compromise has clearly undermined the church’s ability to present the gospel with power and authority.  (See The big picture.)

In this gloomy scenario, AiG wants to provide answers, equipping a new generation of Martin Luthers with cutting-edge research and biblical insights—found in Creation magazine—to spark a new Reformation.

We pray that you—and many others—will find the biblical answers you need.  Together, with God’s grace and merciful intervention, we can literally change the world!

Some issues from 1995 through 1997 are not available yet, but will be posted within the next few weeks.  The titles of a handful of outdated articles will be included in the archive list, but without links.  Also, many of the ‘Answers for Kids’ pullout sections will not be included in this particular database,  as they are being planned for a future ‘Kids’ site.
