A Conversation

Do you believe in God?

Yes. I believe in God.

You mean to tell me that there is an existence of a life force that you cannot see, you cannot hear, you cannot smell, you cannot taste, you cannot touch.

Yes, I believe… believe in the existence of God.

Do you believe God created us?

Yes.

Do you believe that God created the earth?

Yes.

Do you believe that God create us and His desire is for us to have dominion over the earth?

Yes… with nature, in harmony with nature.

OK. So God created us; He created the earth. He gave us the earth with all of its sustainable resources to keep us alive indefinitely. He gave us intelligence, which no other creature has. And with our intelligence we are able to interpret and manipulate matter. So we are creators, just as God created us. So then, that is how God created us in His image. He made us all creators?

Yes, He has made us creators. He has given us life, intelligence and the earth.

What are we supposed to create?

Outside of food and shelter for our survival, we are supposed to create… love. To be able to interpret and manipulate matter can only be for our benefit or our detriment. Why would we want it to be for our detriment? Why would we want to destroy what God has given us? Why would we take the earth, which is supposed to sustain us indefinitely, and ruin it so that we will all eventually perish? What is the point? But if we live in harmony with the earth, we use it resources to sustain our lives, and we use our intelligence to replenish what we use, then we are using our creator-ness in a responsible way. The only thing outside of our own sustenance is to take care of one another. That is our purpose. We are creators, we are to survive, we are to take care of one another and love one another.

Do you believe that is all that God wants for us?

I believe that that is the basic idea, but that is not all that God wants for us. I believe God wants us to do more than just survive; just get by. I believe God wants us to prosper in all areas of our lives. He wants us to live in abundance, for what would be the purpose of barely surviving if we could not improve our station? And God's abundance is based in, and grows from love.

Our Daily Routine

Speaking for myself, I have spent a considerable amount of time studying the Word and pondering its meaning. It seems that the most challenging issue facing a believer in the Word and Jesus Christ is in the application. How are we to live our lives to not only attain citizenship in God’s Kingdom, but never leave? The following is a practice that I carry out daily to prioritize and act on Kingdom thoughts and ways. I pray that you will read this with an open mind and a teachable spirit for it is written in love to share love. God bless you in the name of Jesus as you go forward.
