We are immersed in beauty and wonder. The problem is, we often do not see it.
God took care with His creation. Everything He made is complex. Even the pollen and seeds discarded by tulip poplars and oaks and sweet gum trees are marvelous if we take the time to look at them. The more we examine the world, the more we find that it is filled with glory and beauty.
Even looking at one cell is enough to boggle the imagination. However, it is easy to overlook how God has revealed Himself as Creator in nature. As a result, we must train ourselves to see this beauty. Instead of taking the flowers of spring for granted, try examining them for a long time. Feel the different textures of the petals, smell the different scents they give off, and look at the symmetry of the petals and pollen.
God’s universe is rich and abundant in beauty. We need only open our eyes to see it and worship Him for the marvels He has created.
From the smallest cell to the farthest reaches of the universe, we see the complexity of God’s design. In addition, the more we study something, the more we realize how little we know about it. This universe demonstrates mystery beyond our understanding. From the microcosm to the macrocosm, everything manifests the glory of God.

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.
