sustainable lifestyle

What motivates Christians to sustainable to live in the ecological sense?
I would like to illustrate this motivation in the labeling as "likeness" of God. In the biblical account of creation is
interpreted human existence as a creaturely existence: I am being surrounded by other creatures. All owe their lives to God. The man is from the other creatures - the animals under the sky, in the seas and in the country - distinguished by the fact that he was "the image of God." In the ancient Near East, this award is usually given only to kings. The Bible says now that all human king status, and thus have rights to rule. But they should not exercise their power with each other but towards animals. However, not to kill them, but to "control" and to preserve it. 1.28-31 gene requires vegetarianism.
Man has lost the image of God, because he wanted to exceed the limits of his rule and has exceeded. Of these, the chapters provide 3-11 in first Genesis. All the "lack of glory, they should have with God," Now, Paul writes in Romans 3 and alluding to the lost image of God. In place of the conservationist was destructive, exploitative domination of man over himself, over his fellow creatures and to nature.
The new and final image of God is God Son, the man Jesus. He has defined depth, which means likeness of God: mercy ("Be merciful as God is merciful"), compassion, love of enemies, surrender, reconciliation. Succession, that is life in being for others (Bonhoeffer).
In faith we connected with Christ and thus also associated with his mercy and his compassion in relationships. We are "in Christ" renewed images of God become the in-depth manner maintain a compassionate and loving relationship with the world around us.
An ecologically sustainable lifestyle is so essential to being a Christian. Reconciliation refers not only to other people, but also to the animals and the whole co-creation.

November

Today I am - jogged through the November woods - with spring-like temperatures of almost 17 degrees. As a kickoff to the "November" time here - I think - successful poem of my colleagues Burkhard Mayer (with permission) to November:



November

cover up very happy in fog
Are not inverted
you years Residual Beauty recycler
defoliation with its own magic
you organize a summer theater

prefer their wind chimes
And crying in the woods and streets
Can clouds in the sky fade
show your earthy colors
show your wealth in the Barren
slob lost time Give
silence of silence and low light weight
processors'accounts
slow the course of the year
And the soul to breathe it.

receptivity and creativity

When asked what makes life meaningful, happy and fulfilled, there are many answers. When I was asked this yesterday, I noticed from my experience, two essential "Ways to Happiness": a receptivity and creativity.
receptivity is the ability to live deliberately, to acquire something: listen to music and feel in their melodic and rhythmic structures, enjoy art form with their games, managed to read texts formulated to recognize relationships of all kinds, a impressive landscape experience, made love to know appreciation received ...
creativity is once again the ability to create, to shape something: a piece of music, a painting, a sculpture, a text, a garden, love gift, appreciation ... a lesson, a conversation, a business degree, a work piece ...
lies in the change of receptivity and creativity happiness. Only one or the other would be too one-sided. Only receptivity leads to the "Gammer Life", only creativity to burnout (By the way: in a Depression is both abilities lost and can - usually by medical attention - recovered only slowly be. Since no help advice for luck).
I think of how the behavior of God's first creation account in Moses is described 1/Genesis first He is creative and is left to the created things: he looks at it and is it very good. On the seventh day he rested, sanctifies the Sabbath as a day of receptivity.
