Mother Nature's Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

The Bible says that the laws of nature are not eternal, but that they began in time, and they were put into operation by the Word of God. God is the Father of all nature, and He is the Father of all the wisdom and order that men attribute to nature.

The male was also the first to be created. All of this in no way means that the Bible depreciates the female, for we will ...read more
