No matter where you look. No matter what you see. The fear mongers are everywhere. Chicken Little is running about screeching, "THE SKY IS FALLING! THE GLACIERS ARE MELTING!! GLOBAL WARMING IS DESTROYING US!!"
Uh! Excuse me, but we cannot do that. We cannot destroy the world. Let me break it to you gently.
IT IS NOT HAPPENING!!
The Lord did not give us the power to do that. We can mess things up pretty bad, but we cannot destroy the world with global warming.
If you will take a moment and draw a few cleansing breaths and read your Bible, you will see that God will make all things new again after the Messiah returns to earth. When The Christ returns He takes care of it all.
Now, what is our responsibility to the earth (and it is not mother earth, it is GOD's earth)? He gave us the earth to tend. That means he gave it to us to take care of and be dominant over the animals. We have done an appalling job. It really is the only "job" he gave us and we have failed miserably to do that one thing.
We have polluted the air and water; destroyed forests; killed off millions of animals and bunches of species; and still we are here. The temple he gave us for the Holy Spirit to reside in we have polluted our minds; polluted our bodies; given in to excesses of all kinds; and yet we are still here.
We can clean up the air, the water, grow more trees, keep the animals safe from extinction. We can rid ourselves of mind-polluting intake; rid our bodies of the toxins we ingest; and refuse to participate in the excesses of the world.
Now, what have we done? We have simply created a clean playground for Satan if we do not become born again. If we have no God to follow, no reason to do these "good deeds" then there really is no good reason to do them. If there is no God and if there is no Creator, what difference does global warming make?
I mean, I hear all the alarmists saying that we are destroying the planet, but I do not quite understand who they want to save it for? Many of those same people believe that humans are a blight upon the planet. The professor who taught ethics at Princeton believed that humanity should be wiped out. What or who do they want the planet saved FOR?
In the 1950's and early 1960's they pushed conservation and that is what I grew up with. We had paper drives to recycle paper. We had pop bottles that you took back to the store and got your deposit back. The old wringer washers conserved water because you washed your 2 or 3 loads of clothes in the same water. The rinse water was only changed if it got too soapy. School cafeterias could give the food that was left over from the trays to a local farmer for pig food. We reused the paper bags that we got from shopping because we lined our kitchen trash cans with them. Religion was also a big deal in almost every home, school and business.
In the country people cleaned their fence rows and their yards out to the road. Not so much now because the city, county or state has to mow it and clean it because it belongs to the state, city or county.
The government has tried to take over the spot that belongs to God and tried to push the Churches out of the act of giving to the poor and caring for the aged and widowed and the orphans. The government has made many inroads but even they cannot take over completely. Just ask the USSR. The USSR no longer exists but God still does and it appears that any country that tries to eradicate God has only succeeded in promoting the growth of Christian congregations.
Have you noticed that the politicians and green-sayers who push it the most are the ones who own stock in those companies and get something from the organizations that promote greeness? Check them out for yourself. Better yet check out the One who actually Created the world and man in His image. That is where your time would be better spent.
READ the BIBLE?
