God’s Design – Creation Moments

Educating Boys

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” This Creation Moment is about education, and I guess I ought to start with a number of caveats. I am going to make generalizations about boys and...

The Snow Buttercup

Psalm 103:15-17 “As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon...

Mysterious Flowers that Track the Sun

Psalm 113:3 “From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised.” In the previous Creation Moment, I talked about the snow buttercup, which lives in a cold environment and focuses some of the Sun’s heat...

Pigs

Luke 15:15-16 “And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.” People love pigs or ha...

2 Peter 3:10 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” We ...

Not Always What They Seem To Be

Matthew 10:29 “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.” The creation is filled with a remarkable number of creatures that are able to fool their enemies into thinking they are somethi...

Heating for Health

Proverbs 3:7-8 “Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.” You’re not feeling well, and you have a fever. Is your increased body temperature good for you or sh...

Creative Strategies for Life

1 Corinthians 6:20 “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” Some creatures seem more wise and powerful in dealing with the problems of living than seems reasonable. For example, when ...
