About this episode
In the last passage we saw God create the universe out of nothing and then, on the first day, speak light into the darkness. This sets the pattern for all of God’s creative work. He is the God of order, and order requires boundaries, definitions, and separations. This is a truth our modern world despises with a perfect hatred. We live in a rebellious age that is pathologically committed to transgressing every line God has drawn. It wants to erase the distinction between man and woman, a foundational creation ordinance written into every cell of our very bodies. It wants to erase the distinction between the sacred and the profane, the true and the false, the beautiful and the grotesque. It is a deliberate attempt to de-create, to return the world to the state of tohu wa-bohu , formless and void.
