This past week I took a course through the Free Methodist Church, Christian Doctrine. One of the topics that came up during this course was that of humanity and the creation of man. Pastor Russ Veldman states that humanity is the pinnacle of creation and that we should be honored and humbled by the fact.
Recently we have seen a number of commercials put out by the ASPCA asking for sponsors for abused or abandoned animals.If you have not seen any of these commercials check out the one above. These commercials seem to treat these cats and dogs as if they deserve the same level of honor as human beings do. And what bothers me more is that people are being intentionally disregarded, murdered, and written off by us every day.
Psalm 8: 3-8 says: "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor."
Humans are created in the image of our Holy God. Men and women, boy and girl, infant and elderly, we are all created in the image of God. And our lives should be honored as such. We are not and never will be on the same level as cats or dogs or any other creature. And our culture needs to realize this and begin acting accordingly.
As long as orphans still remain, as long as people continue to starve, I will not sponsor a cat or dog. As long as children are being abused, as long as living babies are being aborted, I will not sponsor a cat or dog. As long as women are being raped, as long as girls are being sold into prostitution, I will not sponsor a cat or dog. As long as our elderly adults are being disregarded for convenience, I will not sponsor a cat or dog. As long as the mentally and physically handicapped lives are not highly valued, I will not sponsor a cat or dog.
