The greatness of God is on marvelous display in the universe. We need only take a closer look at everything around us in order to see it and glorify Him for the gratuitous beauty He has put into creation. Beyond the dazzling beauty and wide variety of colors in nature, we also see that everything has order and design.
The closer we look at creation—for example, at the center of a sunflower or the eyes of a fly—the more we see a mathematical order that points to the One who designed these things. However, even though we can hear, see, and feel creation all around us, few people recognize that there is a Creator. Their hearts are hardened against Him, and they seek natural explanations for what can only have come from a Creator. When someone sees these same mathematical designs and patterns in architecture, they know that someone took the time to plan out the structure and the beauty. In nature, however, they deny that there is an Architect, arguing that it all came about by chance.
The work of our God is exquisite; His workmanship displays excellence. When He opens our eyes to see Him and we train ourselves to behold His glory in creation, there is no doubt that everything points to Him. As a result, the more we study nature, the more we ought to praise Him and glorify Him.

Mortality and the purpose of life are prominent themes in Thomas Cole’s paintings. Through his paintings, he vividly brings out the human dilemma of mortality, a dilemma we ourselves must wrestle with. Given the inevitability of death, what are we to do with our days? We can try to stave
In the article below, Dr. Boa synthesizes material from several teaching sessions from his series Biblical Principles for Marriage and from portions of his spiritual formation text Conformed to His Image (primarily from chapter 18, “Holistic Spirituality”). Dr. Boa focuses on agape love as one of the five forms of loves (based on the different Greek words). After reviewing all forms, he gives reasons for why agape is the greatest.
