I’m frequently bewildered
by the attitude of some Christians who will insist passionately on one hand
that the Lord created this planet, saw that it was good, and then created
mankind as its caretakers, to dress and keep it. And then, in the next breath
tell you they feel absolutely no responsibility to act as good stewards of the
earth, because it’s all going to burn up anyway. Christians have anticipated
the second coming of Christ for over two thousand years. We may well continue doing so for two
thousand more. To me, it seems
reasonable to believe that anyone professing to follow the teachings of Christ,
doing justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with their God, would have
compassion and empathy for the generations of mankind, and all creatures great
and small, who will inherit an earth reflecting, dependant largely on our
stewardship, either the bounty and blessings of God’s original creation, or an
infested and withered shell. God expects us to be faithful stewards of
everything with which He has entrusted us.
And, according to my Bible, there will come a day when we’ll each be
held accountable. SC
