Eli is back in the blog biz, and it even looks like John Moody might be ready to resurface, so I better get back on track here. Gotta have at least one entry this month, so here's a little tidbit from perusing a few pages of Systematic Theology by Augustus Strong:

“The Himalayas are the raised letters upon which we blind children put our fingers to spell out the name of God.”
J. H. Barrow

I've never seen the Himalayas in person, but I thought it was a great word picture. Here's the section where this was quoted, if you're interested:

(a) Natural theology.—The universe is a source of theology. The Scriptures assert that God has revealed himself in nature. There is not only an outward witness to his existence and character in the constitution and government of the universe (Ps. 19; Acts 14:17; Rom. 1:20), but an inward witness to his existence and character in the heart of every man (Rom. 1:17, 18, 19, 20, 32; 2:15). The systematic exhibition of these facts, whether derived from observation, history or science, constitutes natural theology.

Amen!
