ENVIRONMENT
Though God
created the world, like us it has suffered the destructive causes of the Fall. As He cares about the restoration of mankind, so He is
glorified when His orderliness, beauty and symmetry are restored to the world.

We should be
concerned for the environment because it is a way to show our care and concern
for people. It is important to seek to make this the best of possible worlds so
that God’s beauty can be seen by unbelievers and believers alike. The beauty of
nature points to the beauty of God. The beauty of God, wherever observed, is
the means whereby God is glorified (Psm. 19:1).

I
do think we have a responsibility to care for the environment – we ought to
care for every resource God has provided for us.

I’ve
told environmentalists that if they think humanity is wrecking the planet, wait
until they see what Jesus does to it.
