WHAT IS CREATION’S CORNER?

Lord, listen to your children praying….

As we seek your will, we ask how to better serve you.

How can/should we better take care of your precious creation? Creation’s brokenness is heavy on our hearts today.

Brokenness surrounds us not only in the human areas of Creation, but also in the broader Creation that was created to raise its voice to you in praise.

According to Romans 8:22, “…the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time”. It is waiting, as on tip toe, “…in hope that [it] will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God” Romans 8:21.

Can we today be part of that liberation?

Can you and I serve our Lord by also serving His bountiful and beautiful creation that today continues to groan?

Those of us at TLC know that God’s Creation matters and that we, as God’s “image bearers” have a special role and responsibility in “keeping” Creation.

This new bi-monthly communication from TLC comes at the invitation of Pastor Jim as we consider diverse topics related to Creation care.

It is our prayer that both our voices and actions will contribute to Creation’s healing and fruitfulness.

Stay tuned as we continue to share with you in subsequent weeks how you might become more effective in your service to God’s gift to us that carries a heavy burden.

Thanks for reading.
