If you’ve followed the AiG ministry for any length of time, you may have heard of the “7 C’s of History.” These 7 C’s form the “backbone” of the Creation Museum’s walk through biblical history, and much of our teaching is structured around these 7 C’s. So, what are these 7 C’s and why are they so important, especially for children?
Well, today we’ll start by answering “What are the 7 C’s?”
Before we go on to the next three C’s, we need to understand that the first four C’s give the history in biology, geology, astronomy, anthropology, and so on that is foundational to the rest of the Bible, all doctrine, our biblical worldview, and in fact everything.
The first four of the 7 C’s of History are the foundational history God has given us in Genesis chapters 1–11 that explains who we are, where we came from, why our world is broken, and so much more.
So, the first four of the 7 C’s of History are the foundational history God has given us in Genesis chapters 1–11 that explains who we are, where we came from, why our world is broken, and so much more. This is the history that explains what we see in biology, anthropology, geology, paleontology, astronomy, cosmology, etc. And the 7 C’s are also the gospel message and our hope of Christ’s second coming. They give the answer to our sin condition and hope for eternity!
So, why should you teach the 7 C’s to your kids? Well, I’m going to answer that tomorrow in my next blog post as I give some practical examples of how this works. I’ll also have a special announcement related to the 7 C’s that you won’t want to miss!
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
