BBC shows graphs of the living planet and the human footprint. Basically, the planet is dying and their figures calculate that we would need two planets by 2050 to survive.
This is pretty scary. I do think the world has not shown us all her tricks for survival. She has passed through many an age of climate extremes and done well, but that is no excuse to continue living the way we are currently.
I am thankful that some Evangelical leaders are making the mission of God about the mission of stewardship. They have recognized that holistic ministry comes with a safe, healthy environment. The impoverished countries will suffer first, making ministry and caring for the poor a daunting task if our human footprint gets larger.
And to those who disagree with new Evangelical push, saying that it will hurt the economy, I ask those dissenting Evangelical leaders, is the economy more important than God's creation?
