Abstract
"I don’t think it a stretch to image the creation crying “how long oh Lord…” The creation is waiting in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. I imagine that revelation can’t help but include lament and repentance—a turning back to God-glorifying tending and keeping."
Posting about nature's lament for Christian stewardship from In All Things, an online hub that offers insight into maintaining and faithful and orthodox Reformed Christian worldview while fearlessly engaging in every aspect of contemporary life – until all is made new.
