Our Feathery Friends?

The other day I was thinking about Angels. Probably because I'd seen a picture of a really cute one holding a harp. Anyway, it made me wonder why we Christians have dumbed down such a phenomenon?

If you think about it, the bible talks about Angels as incredible heavenly beings.

In all honesty, do you think God would place an angel like this to guard Eden:








God often used Angels in the bible as messengers. They passed on His orders...If you were Joseph you would totally flee to Egypt after seeing this adorable, blond, curly haired entity, right?

Why do we de-glorify something so awesome? It's as if we are mocking the real thing. As if we really don't believe that there are angels like the bible describes. I think Angels are spectacular, fierce, and awesomely powerful.

What's scarier still: if angels really look like fluffy things on clouds peacefully playing harps....I'm really hoping my guardian angel is the toughest one of the bunch.
