Witness: Simple Lives, Wonderfully Made - Anabaptist (Psalm 139:13-16)

Source: ChurchWiseAI79 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

The Amish in Witness live simply—yet are fearfully and wonderfully made, no less than the powerful. Anabaptist theology emphasizes that Psalm 139 levels: every person is equally created, equally precious, equally dignified. "Your eyes saw my unformed substance"—plain dress doesn't diminish divine attention. The community honors each member as God-created; the "least" are as wonderfully made as the "greatest." John Book discovers dignity he'd missed. Simple people, wonderfully made; powerful people, no more so. Creation equalizes; dignity is universal.
