Quote for Reflection (Sunday, September 21, 2025)

“The goodness of creation. At the end of the sixth day, God looked at all that had been made and saw that it was very good (Genesis 1:31). The intention of creation was for shalom to be experience by all, for all to know the goodness of creation. We in this affluent culture of ours have come to define “fullness of life” in terms of more than beyond our basic needs. We have turned the tables on the biblical understanding. The desire of many for excess begins to deny enough for others, and the possibility of shalom is limited for some.”
