The songs express praise and gratitude for creation while also giving voice to its suffering, encouraging Christians to care for the world and seek its renewal.  LEARN MORE   → CREATION | WORSHIP Life as a Psalm to the Lord: Thanking God for Holsteins and Coyotes By Calvin B. DeWitt Worship isn’t confined to what happens inside a church. A Christian's entire life—including how they treat the earth and its creatures—can be an expression of praise to God. In other words: creation care is a natural consequence of Christian worship. This article includes three principles for Earth’s caretakers that could form a sermon series.

It also matters because God becomes flesh for our sakes…Material creation is affirmed by the incarnation; it is vindicated by Christ's resurrection. Heaven and nature sing!” —Calvin B.
