Psalm 36

"You save humans and animal alike, O Lord." Psalm 36:6b

The church focuses on saving human souls, but what if we start to read the entirety of scripture that speaks of God saving the animals and the whole of the earth? What would that do to our narrow theology?

I for one really like the idea of God saving the whole earth. It puts us in right relationship with all of our neighbors - human and non-human. It also demands a shift in perspective away from ourselves and demands stewardship towards all.
