Creation
- 1. God: the uncreated Creator of everything. Simon Gruenberg
- 2. God didn’t have time to create a nobody – just a somebody…each person is unique and special. Mary Kay Ash, 1918-2001
- 3. It is so impossible for the world to exist without God that if God should forget it, it would immediately cease to be. Søren Aabye Kierkegaard, 1813-1855
- 4. A house testifies that there was a builder, a dress that there was a weaver; a door that there was a carpenter; so our world by its existence proclaims its Creator, God. Rabbi Akiba Ben Joseph, c. 40-135
- 5. To me it seems as if when God conceived the world, that was poetry; he formed it, and that was sculpture; he colored it, and that was painting; he peopled it with living beings, and that was the grand, divine, eternal drama. Emma Stebbins, 1816-1876
- 6. To look out at this kind of creation and not believe in God is to me impossible. It just strengthens my faith. Astronaut John Glenn
- 7. The easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator to explain it. The same method works for discovering your life's purpose. You can find what God, your creator, has revealed about life in his Word, the Bible. Revelation beats speculation any day. Rick Warren, Purpose Driven Life
- 8. While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation. Maya Angelou
- 9. What can be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth could come by chance, when all the skill of science is not able to make an oyster. Jeremy Taylor, 1613-1667
- 10. I asked the whole frame of the world about my God; and he answered, “I am not He, but He made me.” Saint Augustine
- 11. Back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith. Enthusiasm is nothing; it comes and goes. But if one believes, then miracles occur. Henry Miller, 1891-1980
- 12. You are created not to shrink down to less, but to blossom into more. Oprah Winfrey
- 13. Life is not something we manage to hammer together; it is an unfathomable gift. Eugene Peterson
- 14. Either God is in the whole of nature, with no gaps, or He’s not there at all. L.A. Coulson
