Creation Is Groaning From Our Sin

Seele Contributor, Monica Tang shares one significant theme of this year’s Season of Creation celebrations is restoring our relationship with God and creation. “Genesis 3 foretells humanity’s broken relationship with nature, marked by hard labour and conflict. The characteristics of humanity’s fallen nature also include greed, exploitation, and domination, both in relation to other human beings and image bearers, but also creation,” says Monica.

Black Lives In The Bible: Zipporah

Continuing with the series: “Black Lives In The Bible,” we see Zipporah, a Black woman and the wife of Moses. We see through her brother-in-law and sister-in-law (Moses’ siblings), that through a situation they were racist towards her. And we see because of this situation God hates racism, as well as having His decisions challenged by man’s opinion. Racism is not a skin color issue, it’s a heart issue. In looking at the account of Moses’ siblings’ racism towards his wife, we see that the Hebrews were held back from moving forward, until Moses’ sister’s bad heart was sanctified and transformed. Racism doesn’t just hold back the racist, it holds back the subjugated as well.
