I attended the Verenigende Gereformeerde Kerk (Uniting Reformed Church) in Laaiplek. The sermon was based on the passage: “What is man?” (“Wie is die mens?”). The dominee said that we are defined not by our prestige, authority, family tree, bank balance, and so on -– but by our relationship with God. He said that therefore (as an example), a boss and a common labourer have the same responsibility towards God. You might only be a labourer, but if your boss tells you to trample on God's creation, you are responsible -- not to your boss, but to God.
