Environmentalism
The Christian & Environmentalism
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.
Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
The Issues
1. Habitat Destruction
2. Species Extinction
3. Land Degradation
4. Waste/Hazard Production
5. Global Warming
Why do some environmentalists go to the extreme?
1. Some believe the physical realm is all we’ve got
2. Some believe animals are our ancestors
3. Some believe big business is evil
Why don’t some Christians care?
1. Some fail to correctly interpret key passages
2. Some fail to listen to God first and politicians second
3. Some fail to be stewards in light of their eschatology
Principles for a Christian environmentalist
1. God is the owner of the world
2. God is the sustainer of the world
3. God has made us stewards of the creation
