What can we as caretakers of our earth and caregivers of the poor do to affect our environment? Christians have a sacred responsibility to the earth and to the creatures within it. God put man and woman on the earth to work it and to take care of it.
There are common themes across all faith traditions that we are called to be stewards of the earth and we are to preserve life for future generations. To love, serve, manage and protect what God has given to us and to care for one another is a form of worshiping the Creator. The biblical command to care and love other persons must include caring for the environment in which we live.
As Christians, we need to understand our responsibility to respond to the environmental challenges and to be in right relationship with creation. The movement to heal our earth should begin with us.
We, as Christians, have been called to this vocation. Doing nothing is an action. Is it the right action? Please think about our earth and some of the things you can do to help.
NO, that’s not it at all. The green-ism of today is a gross perversion that clearly places creation above Creator. Any ‘christian’ who travels that route without understanding the proper place for creation is deluded. Certainly we are to care for the world around us, but never to the exclusion of saving the lost.
We, as Christians, have been called to this vocation.
No, no, no. We are called to seek and save the lost.
