On what seems like a weekly basis, the news reminds the world of only the drug trafficking in Colombia. What most people do not realize though, is that Colombia is a place full of Natural Revelation where God's existence and power can be revealed.
Colombia unfortunately, has been portrayed for many years as only the country with drugs and coffee. Although there is some truth to this, there is another world that exist in Colombia that few people are aware of, it's natural beauty.
Natural Revelation as learned in class, is God's witness to himself through history, nature, and human conscious. Through natural revelation and creation we learn about God's power and existence. Because I am 100% proud to be a Colombian, I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you all a video that allows you to see some of Colombia's natural beauty. With the few images shown, I hope it will begin to change how you see Colombia and reveal what God has created in a country that is seen by most people, as having only drugs and coffee.
In this you tube video called Colombia Tourism Video, you will see some of Colombia's natural beauty, history and different culture which always reveals God's existence and power to me.
For more information on Colombia and how tourists are discovering it's beauty, you can read this article on Moving it Globally or click on this you tube video "Colombia is Passion".
Hello Erika. Thank you for sharing the videos of Columbia. It is most definitely a place of natural beauty that shouts God’s wisdom.
ReplyDeleteA few minutes ago, while I was driving up Candler’s Mountain Road and I caught a spectacular view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I reflexively said “Wow, God…. How beautiful!” When I lived in Florida, I used to love going to the beach and looking out over the Atlantic Ocean and being awed by the vastness of the whole thing. As a child, growing up in Oklahoma, I used to gaze at the majestic night sky for hours through my telescope (there is not much to look at in Oklahoma during the daytime). So, no matter where and when I have found myself, creation has been there as a constant reminder of a Creator who designed it . This is as true for me today, as it was before I became a Christian. Before I heard the gospel, I knew there was a God behind the natural order of things. All people are truly without excuse when it comes to the existence of God, because the natural order and beauty of creation can be found anywhere in the world.
I love this country!! We NEED to take a class field trip!!! Next semester too!! wow...I have experienced the beauty of this country and it's people (and it's incredible food!) multiple times first hand...and every time I am amazed at God's creation in both nature and this Colombian culture. Anyone who loves to travel, and wants to feel so welcomed and awe struck over and over again needs to make Colombia their destination. Viva Colombia!
