About His Creation

Who We Are

For over 30 years, the HIS CREATION ministry has encouraged Believers to grow in a sweeter knowledge, love, and worship of our Creator, Jesus Christ, to the honor of our Triune God. There are three revelations of God's glory: His work (creation), His Word (the Bible), His story (history). We are dedicated to carefully exegeting His work (John 1:18; Psalm 19:1-4), and exploring the universe, in order to magnify the glorious attributes of Christ revealed in nature all around us (Romans 1:20). Using Scripture as our lens, we especially desire to share His wonderful character (1 Peter 2:9), and the marvelous aspects of His creation, by teaching Christ-exalting science to children and adults with a child-like heart. We publish easy-to-read materials for families, individuals, and organizations all over the world. Each of our publications is designed to serve many purposes:

  • Encourage worship of our precious Lord Jesus, to the glory of God the Father
  • Investigate our Triune God's wonderful character (Theology Proper)
  • Present His Gospel with clarity
  • Provide high-quality lessons (science & nature) for students of all backgrounds—public school, Christian school, homeschool, Sunday school
  • Encourage family reading time and an exploration of God's creation

If you are interested in receiving our publications and want to be placed on our mailing list, please contact us.

What We Believe

  • We believe that there is one, infinite and all-knowing God, perfect in all His attributes, one in essence, eternally existing in three Persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe that God the Father is the Creator of the universe and that He formed all things by His Spirit through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • We believe that nothing in the universe, including all forms of life, could exist without Christ's continuous, sustaining power and care.
  • We believe that we are to worship the Creator, never the created thing.
  • We believe that the Bible is the inerrant and complete Word of God. We affirm the inerrancy, infallibility, sufficiency, and authority of Scripture.
  • We believe that the existence of God is obvious to the world because the creation reveals His attributes. We do not seek to "prove" that God is Creator; this undeniable fact is brought to light in our hearts by faith (Hebrews 11:3). HIS CREATION seeks to discover the special ways Christ's attributes are reflected in creation and communicate this to people around the world.
  • We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man. We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His atoning death on the cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His second coming.
  • We believe that man is dead in his sins and is therefore in need of salvation through Jesus Christ. We believe that there is only one way to salvation and that is through hearing the true Gospel and faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that the sinner is made spiritually alive by the Holy Spirit and brought by faith to repentance before the throne of grace. We believe that salvation is wholly of God by grace on the basis of the redeeming work of Jesus Christ, the merit of His shed blood, and not on the basis of human effort. We believe that the elect are kept by God's infinite power and are thus perfectly secure in Christ forever.

About the Staff

HIS CREATION is a small, non-denominational ministry started in 1989. Originally founded in Colorado, we are now based in Georgia. We serve families, individuals, and groups all around the world. Our sincerest goal is to honor our Lord Jesus Christ by growing in a knowledge Him (Hosea 6:3). The Bible is Christ's autobiography and, in a sense, creation represents full-color illustrations of His Word. Creation adds no truth to Scripture, but portrays God's attributes in a wonderful way (Romans 1:20). Our goal at HIS CREATION is to increase in a richer, sweeter understanding of our Lord's character by exploring creation in concert with the full truth of God's Word.

HIS CREATION's small staff is composed almost entirely of incredibly faithful volunteers. These include: Theology Editors—Pastor Chris Kawa, Executive Pastor of River Oaks Community Church, and Mr. Joseph Adrian, a serious student of Reformed Systematic Theology; Science Editor—Mr. Trey Tippie, teacher at Morrison Christian Academy, Taichung, Taiwan; Editorial Panel—Dr. Sean Allison, Associate Professor and M.A. Linguistics Program Director at Trinity Western University, B.C., Canada, and Mrs. Maggie Richardsen; Vice President of the Board—Mr. Tim Carlson, Chief of Police, Westminster, CO; Treasurer—Mrs. Kelley Carlson, a registered nurse who has tirelessly drawn countless pictures for the HIS CREATION papers; and certainly not least, Mrs. Colleen Destree, educator and precious wife of Dr. Destree, and contributing artist/editor of the HIS CREATION publications. Mr. Rick Destree is Dr. Destree's eldest son, and is currently the chief web designer for HIS CREATION.

Dr. R.J. Destree is the director of HIS CREATION and is the primary author of all the HIS CREATION publications. He surrendered his life to Christ in September of 1973. He is committed to a serious presentation of the Bible in all of his writings, in concert with an accurate study of science and nature. It is his deepest desire to faithfully and joyfully exegete Christ's creation in order to make known the riches of our Heavenly Father's character (John 1:18). Dr. Destree has had a deep fascination in nature since he was a little boy. He attended the University of Illinois and received an undergraduate degree in Agricultural Science in 1977. He went on for training at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, and received his M.D. in 1981. R.J. practiced medicine until 1990 when he became the full-time director of HIS CREATION. Since then, he has devoted all of his energies to researching the universe in order to discover reflections of our Lord's character revealed by His creation. He is deeply committed to sharing these wonders with children and adults with child-like hearts (Psalm 71:14-18).

HIS CREATION has also  been extremely blessed to have co-laborers in foreign countries who are actively spearheading translations of our ministry's publications: Pastor Sergei Golovin of Kiev, Ukraine—President of the Center for Science and Apologetics—has overseen translation of more than 60 issues of CREATOR into Russian.

All of these servants of Christ have a deep passion for God's glory and desire to see Christ honored in many countries around the world. We thank God for their faith, love, and friendship!
