The Intensive 3: Creation, Purpose and Kingdom Life--Discerning Design and Destiny

Christian thinker Abraham Kuyper wrote “There is not one square
inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ,
who is sovereign over all, does not cry MINE!” If this is our
starting point as Christians, the implications are startling. There
may be spiritual war in personal lives, the public square, and even
world systems. But the world is not evil. The whole of created
reality came into being in the beginning, and God said it was GOOD.
As we move around in our own little corners of creation, we can be
guided by the confidence that, though it may be embattled
territory, it’s still God’s! And it’s just waiting for US to do
something…in God’s power and authority! Paul writes in Romans, “The
whole creation is even now groaning in anticipation of the
revealing of God’s children.” Anticipated release and
transformation, and restoration of Design and Destiny.
