The Earth

Welcome to my sixth and final blog on Creation! Pics taken by me during lockdown, with suitable words from the Maker’s manual. Enjoy!

Following this blog, I will be returning to the A-Z of the Kingdom of God series, picking up at G.

I will also be starting a new blog series in the coming weeks – on apologetics (equipping you with answers to difficult questions about the Christian faith).
