Our reading through the Bible comes to the same theme over and over..."worship God first." As Paul begins Romans, he states this principle another way. He confronts the human condition as loving the creation more than the Creator. How true? Do we not see this played out in many expressions of greed and excess? Is the "oil spill crisis" not a flagrant case of worshiping the creation instead of the Creator. How foolish to drill without a plan for a spill. Is our balance with relating well and being good stewards of our environment not found in the truth of the passage...
"So God said, in effect, "If that's what you want, that's what you get." It wasn't long before they were living in a pigpen, smeared with filth, filthy inside and out. And all this because they traded the true God for a fake god, and worshiped the god they made instead of the God who made them—the God we bless, the God who blesses us. Oh, yes!"
