Timothy Keller Every Good Endeavor Chapter 3 Summary
In chapter three of 'Every Good Endeavor' by Timothy Keller, Keller talks about our work as 'cultivation' for the Kingdom. Hebrew scholar Derek Kinder says that our care for the earth is parental. In Genesis, God creates all sorts of plants and animals and says "let them multiply”, however when God created man he said "be fruitful and multiply”, thus giving us the command to do so. Many people that that reproduction is a natural process, which it is, but it is also God's command for us to fill the earth. It is work, a job. It means something more than just occupying the earth, it means civilizing it. God is God; he could've just spoken millions of people into existence, but instead he entrusted us to multiply the earth. God also called the

    Revelations Open New Perspectives: Helen Keller, And Mrs. Hale

    Epistemology, the study of knowing, is a multifaceted study. There are several different ways humans come to know things: experiential knowledge, learning through the use of senses, vicarious learning, and even learning through revelations. Each way of gaining knowledge is unique, and every person learns differently. When reading about the old man, Helen Keller, and Mrs. Hale’s experiences, it is easy to see a commonality; Though unique, the link in each character’s story occurs in the revelations they experience. The old man in “A Christmas Story,” Helen Keller, and Mrs. Hale in “Trifles” have all had experiences of learning in different ways, but ultimately it is a personal revelation that leads to their epiphanies of new knowledge in their lives.…

    Comparing Two Creation Stories

    In the first creation story, God creates humankind in His image and likeness. God gives humankind dominion over the earth when He says, “Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the tame animals, all the wild animals, and all the creatures that crawl on the earth” (Genesis 1:26). Humankind is also called to be fertile and multiply. In the first creation story, God calls humankind to care for creation and populate the earth. In the second creation story, humankind is asked to care for and cultivate the Garden of Eden, so we too are called to cultivate our own gardens in our lives. The man, Adam, in the second creation story gave names to each and every one of the animals God created, so we are also called to care for the animals God created. Both creation stories illuminate how humankind should care for the plants and animals that we share our earth…

    Genesis 1-11: Biblical Worldview

    Lots of people get hung up on this verse. Think about it for a moment, the heavens and the earth, how does He create this? If one cannot grasp verse 1 this presents a problem, in that one cannot grasp the verses that follow. Did He really create the natural world in just six days? It’s just not scientific! Folks, remember the book in your hand doesn’t claim to be scientific, but there is no proven scientific fact that contradicts anything written in this book. “Do you not know? Do you not hear? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; Isaiah 40:21-22. If you really search your heart and even go over the logic of the creation, it makes since that only a supernatural, all knowing, loving God could create such perfection. This passionate belief is the foundation of my worldview and of who I am as a person today. Because of Genesis 1, I live my life under the certainty that everything is created for a specific purpose. God made every creature and every plant to play their part in the extravagant story of the world, just as everything that happens in life is a perfect piece of the…
