👏🏽 I’m so glad someone is talking about this! Recently in taking a closer look at the first several chapters in Genesis, the verses in 1:26-28 where God talks about why he put humans on earth really stood out to me, and it appears that he places a good bit higher value on the earth/land and the creatures in it than I had ever heard preached. It is especially clear in the CEB version. Since then it has put other comments in scripture in a new light and has given me a lot to ponder. Check out the middle section of Romans 8, especially v. 22, it’s very interesting in light of this conversation! & makes me think that parts of the Chronicles of Narnia are not quite as fantastical as they otherwise seem 🤔 so, thank you for bringing this up here!
Thank you for modeling an Anabaptist approach to understanding how scripture speaks to how we live.
Thank you, Harlan.

Does anyone know of any Anabaptist who gives his land a rest every so many years ? I don't. Why not ? Is this a practical way to obey God ?
