This year our church is starting something new called “Creation Week.” The focus is on raising awareness about creation and our God-given responsibility to take care of it. Our hope is that our church body will deepen their understanding of God’s world and increase their passion to love Him by taking care of the environment He has entrusted to us.
There is something inside of me that holds me accountable to the small things. What is it that keeps me from throwing trash out the window (outside of the fact that its illegal!)?? What is it that fuels me to enjoy taking care of my yard and trying to beautify the property I own? Why do I care so much to take time to separate the garbage from the recycling products to the point that I’ll reach inside a garbage can and pull out a plastic bottle? May it’s a just a stream of intensity or maybe its because the Spirit that lives in me stirs me to be responsible for the way I treat the earth I walk on.
Tonight I’ll be participating in a Simulcast called “Hope for Creation” with Dr. Matthew Sleeth. I’m not all that familiar with the content of the event but I’m excited to learn more about my role as Christian and how I relate to the world I live in. Here’s a link to the article about the event…
