The Pendulum Problem

Treating creation as if it is divine.

1 Timothy 4:1-5

1 “Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. 2 These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead.

Treating creation as if it is bad.

Worshipping creation

Rejecting creation

Thanksgiving Recognizes that everything we receive is from the hands of a loving and good God. Renounces making creation into an idol. Renounces seeing creation as bad.

Quote

“Creation is good; created pleasures, in their proper and appropriate form and context, are to be received with thanksgiving.” - NT Wright

Reflection... What things have I made more important than God? To what have I given control of my life? What good thing have I abused?

What good things that God has created have I treated as bad? What good created thing have I denied or have seen as evil?

3 They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten with thanks by faithful people who know the truth. 4 Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. 5 For we know it is made acceptable by the word of God and prayer.” Romans 1:21-25

21 “Yes, they knew God, but they wouldnʼt worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 23 And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each otherʼs bodies. 25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.” Genesis 1:31

31 “Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!” Continued study :: other helpful passages

How have I regularly expressed thanksgiving to God? What are some ways I can begin to focus my attention on God with thanksgiving?
