Andy Crouch Quotes
On The Very First Page Of The Bible, Then, Power, Flourishing And Image Bearing Are Connected. Power Is For Flourishing - Teeming, Fruitful, Multiplying Abundance. Power Creates And Shapes An Environment Where Creatures Can Flourish, Making Room For The Variety, Diversity And Unpredictability Of Coral Reefs And Tropical Forests, But Also The Surprising Biological Richness Of High Deserts And Ocean Depths. And Image Bearing Is For Power - For It Is The Creator's Desire To Fill The Earth With Representatives Who Will Have The Same Kind Of Delighted Dominion Over The Teeming Creatures As Their Maker. Which Means Image Bearing Is For Flourishing. The Image Bearers Do Not Exist For Their Own Flourishing Alone, But To Bring The Whole Creation To Its Fulfillment.
