By DOlinger on Thu, 01/25/24

Read the series.

Number 2: Image of God. Everyone is infinitely valuable. Treat him that way.

God not only runs the world; he created it. From scratch. (Google ex nihilo sometime. The official meaning is “from scratch.”) All of it. Everything is from his hand, originally.

Johannes Kepler, Thinking God’s Thoughts After Him

By Filings on Fri, 12/01/23
