Another Earth Day

I personally have no problem with recycling or green energy.  Let's save the whales and the polar bears and the red-bellied South African newt (I made that last one up).  Let's be more careful with how we use the resources at our disposal, keeping future generations in mind.

My problem this earth day is with none of those things.  My problem lies with the fact that earth day has become worship the earth day.  The media speaks of the earth as though it were a person.  We can't say a fetus in the womb is a person, but we can believe that a planet is.  The language used is reverential and solemn (like what you once would have heard in church).  We have exchanged the worship of God who created the earth for the worship of the earth itself.

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for aa lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
 (Rom 1:24-25 ESV)

And let me remind us about what God's future is for the earth.

But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. (2Pe 3:7 ESV)

Let's be good stewards of the earth that God has given us.  Let's not worship the earth instead of God.

Something a Little Deeper for Christmas

Why the Jewish Messiah is the Most Important Individual in History by   Eric Davis What Christmas commemorates is big for many reasons. With the incarnation comes the Savior. For those who repent, there is justification, adoption, redemption, reconciliation, regeneration, sanctification, and, one day, glorification. But if we back up a bit, with the incarnation, there is the arrival of the long-awaited Jewish Messiah. It’s difficult for a 21 st   century audience to appreciate the century-long yearning which the Hebrews had for the Messiah’s arrival. But why? What is the significance of the Jewish Messiah?

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.  I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV)   This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland.  The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
