"What Wonder Below" – Psalm 8, Genesis 1:26-28

Sermon by Dr. George C. Anderson from Sunday, October 23, 2022. "And among the creatures placed upon the land are humans; 'male and female he created them.' There is something different about these creatures for there is placed within them the image of God. This means at least in part that humans are to be God’s representatives—God’s stewards—on earth. They are put in the garden to tend it and keep it. They are not put there to be owners of the land who are accountable only to themselves. They are put there to be stewards of the land accountable to God. Progress is encouraged: 'Be fruitful and multiply.' But, progress should not mean exploitation; expansion should not lead to extinction. The reason is simple. As God’s representatives, we are here to love what God loves."
