 Global Warming
Psalm 24: The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. From Genesis: All of creation belongs to God not to human beings. We are part of the created order and our first calling by God is to be stewards of the earth and the rest of creation. "We have lived by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives, so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption that what is good for the world will be good for us. We must recover the sense of the majesty of the creation and the ability to be worshipful in its presence. For it is only on the condition of humility and reverence before the world that our species will be able to remain in it." - Wendell Berry ++++++++++++++++++
