Creation Care

Some thoughts:

• As Christians, we take care of the planet because:
  • God says that it is good (Genesis 1).
  • God put us in charge of it (Genesis 1:28).
  • God says stewardship is important (Matthew 24:45-51).
  • God will punish those who are destroying the earth (Revelation 11:18).
• We need a balanced, biblical view of creation care.
• Health is important to Christians. Planetary health affects personal health.
• “Business v. Environment” is an over-simplified false dichotomy.
• Global warming is only one issue in environmentalism (taking care of God’s planet).
