Randy Alcorn's Blog: creator

God Reveals Himself in His Creation

Iguazu FallsI recently read Steve DeWitt’s Eyes Wide Open: Enjoying God In Everything. I love the title, and I love the book. Here’s one of many things I enjoyed from the book, and we’ve added some photos and video to help you appreciate what he’s talking about.

 

The Wonders of God's Creation and Man's Creation, in Time Lapse

ArchitectureThis short time lapse video shows the wonder of God’s creation and man’s creation. But remember, God is the Creator; man is what Tolkien called the sub-creator. Our creativity is derived from His, from being made in the image of the Creator.

 

God's Small Creatures

beeIncredible photography in this video showing what goes on in the “small” world around us, a world of little creatures God created. 

The Universe in Scale

galaxiesI’ve had an interest in astronomy since getting my first telescope in fourth grade. My love for the wonders of the universe helped prepare me to hear the gospel and respond to Christ. 

Maggie Grace: a Reflection of the Goodness of the God Who Made Her

Randy and MaggieRecently when we were filming in my office, our Golden retriever Maggie, who is growing more each day, made a guest appearance. Thought I would share it with you. Maggie is a gift from God to Nanci and me. We love dogs in general and this one in particular.

Whom Would You Choose?

Coffee and conversationIf you had the opportunity to spend the evening with any person who’s ever lived, whom would you choose? Probably someone fascinating, knowledgeable, and accomplished. High on my list would be C. S. Lewis, A. W. Tozer, Jonathan Edwards, Hudson Taylor, and Charles Spurgeon.

The Wonders of our Creator and Savior

LilyI love the beauty even of a fallen creation, and I always think, “What is it going to look like when it is a redeemed creation, on the New Earth?”

I also love time lapse photography and great music, both of which are in this 2.5 minute video

 

Insights from a Precious Disabled Child of God

Creator's handsThen the LORD asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the LORD?” Exodus 4;11, NLT

When I posted about abortion in the daily thoughts I share on my Facebook page, a young woman named Cass stepped in to say some things. Others expressed their appreciation for her insights as a disabled child of God, and so did I. 

Dogs, Pumpkins, and Creativity

I’m not a big fan of Halloween, but God created dogs and pumpkins and artistic people, so… I’m Randy Alcorn, and I approve these pictures:

Do you believe God created the earth in six literal 24-hour days?

Earth from spaceFirst let me say that many sincere people believe in the Bible and also believe in an old earth. They do this via the gap theory or day age theory or some other means of interpretation.

Secondly, let me say that I am not certain about the age of the universe, the age of the earth, or when the first humans walked the earth. I have read very persuasive scientific arguments for an old earth, and have read some counterarguments that may have merit. I don't feel qualified scientifically to make the judgment.
