At the Restoration House we deeply believe that at the Fall not only was our relationships broken with God but it was also broken, with self, others, and the rest of the creation. Today is Earth Day and my guess there are a lot of Christians out there that don't get it or they just think of tree hugging hippies. Well to catch me in a tree hugging video below is one for you viewing pleasure.
But regardless of what you think about hippies, tree hugging, or Earth Day, God calls us to care of and to be good stewards of his creation. I know I am continually wrestling with the practical realities of that. This has been a twist in my journey that I never expected but I know God is pleased when he sees us taking care of His creation.
Recently, I have been able to participate in and help teach a four week workshop called God is GREEN. We have been recording each session for pod-cast and all four will be posted next week. Also there is a great book by Matthew Sleeth, MD entitled Serve God Save the Planet.
Check back then and I will included a link from the blog. In the meantime go plant a tree or something...
