Climate Change
An study of literature or art or music can open up a wealth of understanding and appreciation
of human endeavour from farming to politics to, yes, climate change and the Bible.
Our perception isn’t just informed by a pile of words or paint or musical notation.
We learn about human nature from Dickens or the Brontes
but also from the accounts of Creation in Genesis.
Whether they are actual or not, they convey much about human nature and even more about God.
The BIG message about the earth and the goodness thereof is that it’s God’s gift
to humans and with that gift is RESPONSIBILITY.
The ensuing problem is human greed for POSSESSION.
Gotta eat that apple! When we believe that is the problem,
then we can begin to repent, take responsibility and give up our greed.
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it,
Psalm 24:1
