In Genesis 2:15 God appoints Adam a gardener in Eden. "The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it." Distracted by other goals, aims and activities, Adam never attended to this task of caring for the garden. The question that this passage now suggests is whether humanity is doing any better at caring for the earth than Adam?
I'm thrilled to hear insights from those who take the time to read the Old Testament.
Also, be sure to take note of the moving article on About.com's web site, "Pop Spirituality: What's Hot; What's Not," where guru Charles Henderson will update you about the latest spiritual trends. Here is Henderson's noble goal:
But once the passions of religious conviction are let loose upon the world, unchained to any particular tradition or discipline, all sorts of new and wonderful things begin to happen, some quite positive, others much less so. The ideas of a Matthew Fox, for example, are very creative. While the doctrines of the Heaven's Gate cult group were obviously very destructive. Given the widespread popularity of all things spiritual, there is a need for a review of what's hot and what's not in the spiritual arena these days. In that context, we offer the following.
This review of "what's hot and what's not" is certainly a need of mine--I never know which gods are en vogue, and I constantly worry about praying to the unfashionable deity.

I gave up half way through, telling the authro "Your talk has become tiresome to me!" Not mention to the liberal agenda. "Jesus doesn't command evangelism/preaching in this passage, so give it a rest eh?"
I gave up halfway through that Bible quiz-it was taking forever. Glad to see all those Awana sword drills are standing me in good stead ...
