EARTH DAY
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
What can be known through God’s Creation?
1. The Creator exists (Psalm 19:1)
2. The Creator is eternal (Psalm 93:2)
3. The Creator is wise (Psalm 104:24)
4. The Creator is to be worshipped (Acts 14:15, 17:24)
5. The Creator is good (Acts 14:17)
6. The Creator is transcendent (Acts 17:24)
7. The Creator is self-sufficient (Acts 17:25)
8. The Creator is sovereign (Acts 17:26)
9. The Creator is immanent (Acts 17:26-27)
10. Many practical lessons can be learned by taking a close look at creation
