God's Handiwork
To say that the universe happened by chance is absurd. It's design, intricacy, and orderliness point to a personally involved creator. As you look at God's handiwork in nature and the heavens, thank Him for such magnificent beauty and the truth it reveals about the Creator.

God Speaks
The God who hears is also one who speaks.
He has spoken and is still speaking.
Humanity remains His project, not its own, and His initiatives are always at work among us.
He certainly "gives us space," as we say, and this is essential.
But He continues to speak in ways that serious inquirers can hear if they will.

It is acknowledgement of the Almighty that gives civility and refinement to our actions.
It is accountability to Him that brings discipline into our lives.
It is gratitude for His gracious favors that takes from us the arrogance to which we are so prone.
