A REORDERED WORLD TOWARD GOD

"There is nothing unclean of itself," said the apostle Paul; and again, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."  To him, a sacramental view of life had everything to do with direction.  Nature, people, eating, work, worship – everything in daily life points up the chain of a reordered world toward God.  To ignore sexual, personal, social, professional, even political concerns would diminish the reality of God’s presence in the world.  When Paul touched on each area, he placed it in the order ordained by its Creator.
