In one of today's headlines.
World wide tree deaths
Rain forest destruction
Revelation 8:7 (NASB)
The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
My point in these articles is not to move everyone to save the trees, but to understand that the overwhelming frequency and severity of these issues is enormous and breathtaking and certainly way beyond the economic, political and moral will of the residents of planet Earth to resolve; not to mention the technical capability in many cases.
The answer is not in our working together, but in repenting and turning to God.
I am certainly all for conservation, recycling and all the rest, but I am investing in the lives of people to know God. God has told us this planets days are numbered. I won't be careless, nor will I be obsessed or prioritize ecology over using every available resource to teach people about the real trouble.
This little blog, like so many in this site are intended to wake us up from our complacency and get us to be overwhelmed by the gravity of this situation.
I believe God is using these to try and wake up this self-absorbed complacent world.
