A Word About Faith

These ruins were photographed several years ago while on a cruise. I often wonder, when traipsing through remnants of ancient cultures, what the place must have looked like 1,000 or even 2,000 years ago. What they're lives were like. We do know that some of the ancient cultures had very strange and even violent rituals. How did the people get across from one side of the earth, where I believe civilization began (Mesopotamia) to the other (the Americas)? Was there one large continent (Pangea), like some believe, that broke away, perhaps after the flood or some other event? Were there migrations over a footbridge in present day Alaska? What was the climate like? I believe that God created the earth and that He has no limits.

The vastness of the ocean reminds me of a miracle that Jesus Christ performed. Matthew 22:14-36 tells of when Jesus walked on water. Only an all powerful God could have a Son who performed such miracles. Faith was required of Peter, and it is required of us as well. Verse 33 KJV states: "Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God." If God's Son as part of the Trinity can perform miracles, then we can know that God created the vast waters that are shown above.
