...in Relevant Magazine this morning and came across this insight from Winn Collier of Clemson, S.C. His study was on Genesis:
"God intended His image-bearers to speak more of His reality into existence. We were to learn, to enjoy, to taste, to experience. We were to make music and paint murals and pass along legends. We were to create. As an act of worship to our Maker, we were to create a God-breathed culture.
So, when the serpent lied, and our progenitors snagged the fateful bait, more than function was lost. Beauty was maimed. Creativity was scarred. And God wants it back. As God redeems a people, He is re-creating an environment, calling us back into our purpose of living as His image-bearers, creating and loving and enjoying."
I was wondering today whether or not we, as followers of Christ, were a people who are 'making music, painting murals, learning, enjoying, tasting & experiencing.' If you think we are, tell us of some examples you've seen where we were living as an act of worship to our Maker. If you think we aren't, what can we, as a church, be doing to change that reality?
