I know when you hear that phrase you think of tree hugging’ hippie liberals. ‘I don’t fit that demographic’, you say. What is a Christan’s response to “Being Green?” In Genesis 1:28 it says God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” God has given us christians the earth to take care of. What have we done about it? Do we go the extra mile to conserve, reuse and recycle? I’m guessing like me many of you will say NO. Well its time we start. The earth has underwent drastic changes since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Man has made more progress in the last 150 years, then in all of history. With the progress has come much carelessness. It has only been with in the last 30 to 40 years have industries been concuss for the negative impact they were making. It has only been with in the last 5 to 10 years have they realised they can make money at being environmentally concerned. Yes going green is the hip thing to do right now, however that does not take away any of it’s importance. As christians we need to take steps to be environmentally aware of what we do.
I love the outdoors, living here in paradise on earth (Alabama Gulf Coast) we have the most beautiful beaches in all the world and a short car ride will take you to peaceful pine forest. Fishing and hunting we have it all right here in my back yard. I believe you can have all of these things and still be “Green.” Taking care of what God has given us means enjoying it. Being conservative with our resources and energy is not only “Green,” but saves us green too. Recycleing help keep unwant trash out of the ground and money in our pocket, so try to recycle. Reuse, it seems that buying from the thrift store is trendy as well. Go for it while your at it check out my friend Keith Glines at Restore and their “pull tab to save lives” campain. A misson trip to Nicaragua changed his life and gave him a life misson and passion to reuse and save lives. I encourage you to read about Restore’s misson and buy a bracelet from our store. So join Restore and go green!
God’s Love and PEACE OUT!
