Creation, Community, Creator

Sunday January 21st, Psalm 19: The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. The story of creation is one of relationship. We were created from the dust of the ground, and in relationship to the Creation from which we came. We were created in the likeness of God with the breath of life, the Spirit, and as such we are created in relationship with the Creator. Eve, the mother of all was created from Adam, and as such we are related to each human Creature in Community. We are in this three-way relationship, with Creation, with Community and with the Creator. As the heavens, part of God’s creation, declare the glory of God, so too, we aught to declare the glory of God in how we treat those same heavens. As we continue to play games about global warming, we are sinning against, Creation, Community and Creator. Maybe it is time, in the name of God, for a change in course.
