A Better World

A Better World Is Possible


Thoughts on Creation Care / Christian Ecology / Environmental Stewardship

  • 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).
