Global Warming....Seriously though!
Oh my Gosh!
Everyone has to see this Documentary!
I thought Global Warming was just this little problem that was hoe hum, never even thought about it much, Oh gosh, I was wrong it's huge! Who knew?
I have never heard anyone (except Al Geore) talk about this, after listening to millions camp speakers, pastors, sermons and even bible college professors I have never once heard about (or was listening to hear) how were ruinging the earth, LITERALY!
Ok, we focus so much on telling people about Jesus, making attractive yoth group activities and fun games at camp to bring people in so we can tell them about Jesus, we focus so much on this I was just wondering tonight if were focusing too much on 1 area? (don't get me wrong all thoes things are great!)
God gave us the earth and we are suposed to be good stuarts of it. Well us Christians, it doesn't seem like were really taking the lead on this (maybe I'm just speaking for myself, don't take this as an insult...I know lot's of christians out there are doing things about it, but I also know lot's aren't). We gotta step up. It would be soo cool if instead of preaching at people we just do a really amazing job at loving God and the creation he has put us in charge of. Than won't that make people see how real our God is. If were trying so hard we must really believe in what were trying for! No wonder people have trouble believeing in our God or the way he created the earth, a lot of us Christians maybe don't even believe in it enough to act on it. and If were not acting on our beliefs and just preaching them, who will take us seriously or believe us?'
It's like someone trying to sell you the most amazing face cream that will make you look 10 years younger, but the slaeswoman looks really really old and has never even tryed it herselF. oBVIOUSLY SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN THIS PRODUCT OR THINK IT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO TRY HERSELF. So what than is the chance you'll be persuaded to try it for yourself? Not very likely!
Ok this is just a little un-edited rant or thoughts on Global warming. It is very important if you watch this documentary not to go from Disbelief to Belif to Dispare cuz that won't fix anything! The hard part is now to figure out what we as Christians should do about it and indivigualy what to do. Or mabey to research a bit more Find out what Christians already are doing and than JOIN IN! Ohh so much to do! Like should I trade in My little mazda for a new green car that works on electricity as well as gas? Should we all install solar panals on our houses? Buy all new energy efficient appliances? How much does God want us to do? What does it mean to be a good stuart.......ohhh this is only the tip of the ice burg, so much to learn so much to do! I'm gunna start by recycling this water bottle in my hand and telling my youth group kids to do the same! hahah
what do you guys think???????

Good point, Dotto. Remember, too, that there are tons of alternatives that don't cost a lot of money (like a new car and new appliances). I think if you'll look into it, you'll see that there are a lot of Christians with this point of view, though you're right, there aren't enough. It's cool you were so affected by that documentary...I've heard it's really good. Thanks for sharing this with us, friend!
I can appreciate this as well! Though sort of being in the field I just get depressed and feel like there's nothing we can do because of the uphill spiral already created and will I, one person changes their ways, really make a difference with all the other people in the world? Hah, but that's mostly just when I'm being cynical and I'll let you readers decide how often that is :P
Got to be honest with the weather we are having in Victoria I'd be more worried about another ice age than global warming.
hummmmmmmmm..yah, good point, I'm gunna have to watch it again!
