FY 100: The Imago Dei

By Dan Wilt

We’ve been “re-storying” the origins of man, with the study sheet we read in class last Friday. Again, visitors and friends from around the world, join in the discussion!

Here is your InResponse question for this week:

“The biblical worship story of humankind begins with human beings being made in the imago Dei (the image of God), reflecting God’s goodness into the world, and reflecting creation’s praise back to God. I.e. We are the lead worshipers of the created order.

When you look into the eyes of your fellow students, professors, friends and people on the street this week, look for the image of God in their eyes and their lives. What observations do you make when you begin to view people as ImageBearers? What changes in the way that you see them/treat them?

Now, how does seeing human beings as broken ImageBearers affect how we lead people into worship?“

Sheltering Mercy: Prayers Inspired by the Psalms

Sheltering Mercy, along with its companion volume, Endless Grace, helps us rediscover the rich treasures of the Psalms—through free-verse prayer renderings of their poems and hymns—as a guide to personal devotion and meditation.

The church has always used the Psalms as part of its prayer life, and they have inspired countless other prayers. This book contains 75 prayers drawn from Psalms 1-75, providing lyrical sketches of what authors Ryan Smith and Dan Wilt have seen, heard, and felt while sojourning in the Psalms. Each prayer is a response to the Psalms written in harmony with Scripture. These prayers help us quiet our hearts before God and welcome us into a safe place amid the storms of life.

This artful, poetic, and classic devotional book features compelling custom illustrations and foil-stamped hardcover binding, offering a fresh way to reflect on and pray the Psalms.
