I just made a long post on craig’s blog I will try and keep this one shorter by saying check out the links at http://swerve.lifechurch.tv/2007/10/19/save-energy-and-money/

One of the ways that God reveals himself to me is through the earth. from mountains to streams and flowers. I sometimes forget the beauty of the earth until I go the the mountains in Colorado. It is there that I am reminded of the beauty of Gods Creation.

That is one reason that I like to call “environmental stewardship” “creation care”. One of the first things that God created right after the Heavens was the earth. the Bible starts in a perfect garden. So it is obvious that God places great importance on the earth. It is what sustains us physically.

Taking care of Gods creation is very important to me. Although I admit that I have figured out that I can’t do everything right. but I can try.

Encourage your friends and family to start recycling. And to buy recycled products. Just recycling cans and such only is half of the process. The reality is that most places only recycle because there is some profit to be made. If people don’t buy recycled products them people will stop buying recyclable goods and then people will stop recycling. So make sure you buy Recycled when possible. and Encourage your churches and businesses to do the same.

Terry – I am with you on this. It would be great to see the Church take the lead. Unfortunately it looks like the trend is to build a huge building that uses tons of energy.

We should be the best stewards of the environment. Taking the lead in reducing our impact through recycling and responsible building.

Hey Terry! Great post on a subject that I’ve been thinking about a lot myself. This is the kind of thing that’s a little daunting to even figure out where to start. So many messages coming in about everything from the environmental impact of plastic water bottles to the potential cost savings of CFL lightbulbs. Thanks for pointing to a few places that can be a start.

Dave, great post by your wife. I think I will subscribe…good stuff.

Lori, AMEN! It is our desire to not be that eco-crazy burn out types as well. It is my desire to jump start our life, and keep making steps towards a lifestyle of true stewardship! This area in our family is just one area we need to really be good stewards and become follwers of Jesus, and not just typical Christians. But that is another topic and blog post…or 2.

It’s definitely time that the Christian community begins to see this as a stewardship issue. For us, opportunities for the more dramatic decisions come along less frequently, but we definitely take the “green factor” into account when we do – electric mower, not driving gas-hogs, water- and energy-saving appliances, etc. But the small day-to-day decisions really add up – CFL light bulbs, lowering or upping the thermostat a few degrees, donating used items instead of sending them to the landfill, etc. There’s always more we can do, but we find that by making small, progressive steps, the changes are sustainable and don’t end up in the family archives as, “Oh, yeah, remember when we went all eco-crazy?”
