You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Psalm 16:11 - ESV

For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.

2 Peter 1:11 - NASB

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 14:17 - NIV

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Mathew 25:34 - KJV




Tips for Prayer

But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

Mathew 6:6 - NASB

And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.

Mathew 6:7 - NASB

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

Romans 8:26 - ESV

Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:12,13 - NIV

The Glory of GOD Through Science

The heavens declare the glory of GOD, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. (Psalm 19:1,2 - ESV)

Oh may Your glorious name be blessed
And exalted above all blessing and praise!
You alone are the LORD,
You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their host,
The earth and all that is on it,
The seas and all that is in them.
You give life to all of them
And the heavenly host bows down before You.
(Nehemiah 9:5b-6 - NASB)

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgements and unfathomable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to Him again? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen (Romans 11:33-36 - NASB)

Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty? It is higher than heaven*—what can you do? Deeper than Sheol—what can you know? (Job 11:7-8 - ESV - *Hebrew The heights of heaven - Ref. TLSB)

"In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views." - Albert Einstein

"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." - C. S. Lewis


Definition of Science:

The word science comes from the Latin “scientia”, meaning knowledge.

How do we define science? According to Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, the definition of science is “knowledge attained through study or practice,” or “knowledge covering general truths of the operation of general laws, esp. as obtained and tested through scientific method [and] concerned with the physical world.”

What does that really mean? Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge. This system uses observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural phenomena. The term science also refers to the organized body of knowledge people have gained using that system. Less formally, the word science often describes any systematic field of study or the knowledge gained from it.

What is the purpose of science? Perhaps the most general description is that the purpose of science is to produce useful models of reality.

Science as defined above is sometimes called pure science to differentiate it from applied science, which is the application of research to human needs. Fields of science are commonly classified along two major lines:

  • Natural sciences, the study of the natural world, and
  • Social sciences, the systematic study of human behavior and society.

We will cover only the natural sciences as everything about them was created by GOD.


Marvel at GOD's Awesome Creation

Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty? They are high as 1the heavens, what can you do? Deeper than 2Sheol, what can you know? (Job 11:7-8 - NASB - 1Lit the heights of heaven, 2I.e. the nether world - Ref. NASBRE)


The Main Branches and Fields of Natural Science:

This is just a partial listing of some of the many, many different possible fields of study within science. Many of the fields listed here overlap to some degree with one or more other areas.
