Thanks for the jpeg, Bruce!!! While I don't think God would ever say
"naaah!", still, the thought is an entertaining one!!! God's creation
is amazing!!! Why? Well, because of its profound beauty and exquisite
inter-relatedness. And his handiwork has a purpose which some will
see....
Romans 1:14-20 NASB
(14) I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
(15) So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
(16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
(17) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."
(18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
(19) because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
(20) For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

The beauty that you see all around you reveals its creator, and if you understand this, you have really gotten something!!! Even more, if you begin to understand even the remotest bit of what HE is like, then the magnificence of his attainable righteousness through Jesus is mind-boggling!!! And who wouldn't want to see the "righteousness of God"??? While this wonderful world IS IN COLOR, the GOSPEL IS SHARPLY DEFINED IN BLACK AND WHITE!!! Humm, I think I will re-read Acts, chapter 2 today!!!!!
