“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; October 3, 2008

          We have covered a variety of topics during our times together; but, one thing that I can’t recall discussing is hunting.        If you follow hunting at all your probably realize that this is the time of the year that it really gets going; but, you might be wondering why we are discussing it here, much less now.  The answer is found in “stewardship”.  In the beginning God told man, “… rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Genesis 1:28)  In this simple statement, God placed responsible cultivation and harvest of His creation in the control of mankind.  In our advanced society, there will always be debates and discussions as to the best way to do this; but, one thing is for sure, by abusing the laws that regulate hunting either through over-bagging or wanton waste we violate our responsibility not only to God’s creation; but, also to God Himself.

          If you are a hunter, enjoy the seasons and the harvest.  Yet, as we do, let’s remember our role as caretakers of God’s world.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
