Man cannot live without interacting with Nature.
But nature can prevail even without makind.
We have failed to protect nature but insteady continue to degrade it in the name of production and economic growth.
We need to remember that God the Master Creator entrusted us with all He created to be good stewards, but not to plunder.
The LORD is good to all;
he has compassion on all he has made.
All you have made will praise you, O LORD;
your saints will extol you.
They will tell of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might,
so that all men may know of your mighty acts
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
Psalm 145:9-12
How many are touched by nature’s God in this way? And how many of us are insensitive to it as we carry on from week to week in churches that may be repelling such susceptible souls by our collective insensitivities to the awesome wonders of the creation that surround us. I often feel that the parts of the creation that were not made in the Creator’s image are sometimes better witnesses than we who are. This should not be.

Please it is high time we entegrated environment evangelisn in our biblical teachings to the congregation.
This will hopefully send the message to the masses who may otherwise not be aware of their domestic roles in protecting their environment.
PLEASE IS EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR CHURCH AWARE OF THE FORTH COMING SUMMIT ON CLIMATIC CHANGE (COPENHAGEN DEC. 2009)
