Immediately upon the mention of the word “honeymoon,” most people picture a time of intimate romance and unrestrained physical affection between newlyweds. But God’s plan is for married couples to enjoy such delights without shame or reluctance until “death do us part.”
Environmentalism, as a movement, is an alternative worldview to Christianity. Environmentalists are generally evolutionists, or pantheists, and believe that there is no personal Creator.

Outward appearance isn’t always a true reflection of who a person really is. Each of us is unique and complex—and created in God’s image.
The first sentence of the Bible says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” But to many that’s impossible.

We think of the honeymoon as the beginning of the marriage—that initial burst of physical love—that period of passionate ecstasy between the wedding ceremony and the return to the normal responsibilities of everyday life. Nothing is wrong with thinking about the honeymoon in this way. But it does imply that the honeymoon is only for newlyweds and is only temporary.
From Genesis onward, the threads of “light” and “darkness” illuminate profound truths about God, salvation, and His people, weaving meaning into the story of Scripture and our lives.
