Finding God on the Farm: October 4 Newsletter
Newsletter / Produced by The High Calling
Before the Fall, God placed Adam and Eve in the garden and invited them to work with him by tilling the soil and coaxing seedlings to find the sun. Today, though many of us work in high rises and cubicles, some of us are still following Adam and Eve’s profession. Where can we find God as we work the land today? This week, our writers offer some answers that apply whether you till 40 acres or just grow flowers outside your window.

The Work of the “Creation Mandate”
From the Theology of Work Project
God created everything. God’s provision makes our work fruitful. And we must respect the limits God gave in his Word and evident in his creation.
