Ummmm....Global Warming

This is all over the news.

We use flourescent light bulbs.  We are careful how much electricty we use.  We don't drive any more than we have to, and we like to walk or ride bikes when the weather is accomodating.  We use rain water and gray water to water our garden.  We dry our clothes on the lines outside when the weather is accomodating.  Am I worried about global warming?


My clothes line last spring.

Um....no.  Not in the least.  The things our family does are not because of global warming, but because we are being frugal to ensure I'm able to stay home...where we believe God wants me.  Anyway...if God is in control of everything, why should I worry?  Ok...well I worry about a lot of things anyway ...but global warming isn't one of them. 

Yes, it is important to be a good steward of God's creations.  I heard this said, I don't remember who or where I heard it but it was so spot on...these environmentalists...who don't trust in God...are more passionate about their cause than many Christians are about their God and faith.  In the end, heaven and earth will pass away.  As Christians we should be more concerned about seeing family and friends in heaven than worrying about man-made global warming.  We should still be good stewards of the resources God has provided for us...for His glory...but it shouldn't be more important than God.

Lastly...something that has annoyed me for quite a while...why should I trust these atmospheric scientists, climatologists, meteorologist, and environmentalists on global warming when the weathermen can't even get the weather right for the next day or week?

Genesis 1:28 
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

2 Peter 3:7-13
But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.  But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.  Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?  Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

ISAIAH 2:22
Stop trusting in man, who has but breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?

Amen.
