"God gave us the Earth for our use, not as an object of worship."

That's a good observation. I've been trying to find that statement in my heart when people ask me the same question. And the light just went on.

Its the same as getting on these causes like stem cell research, WE can find a cure, WE can heal. Forgetting that God is soverign, He made it, He can fix it or shape it, or wrap it up and blow it away. This obsession with mans abilities only takes people down a road of deception, especially Christians who's main focus should be the message of salvation and not a message of save the whales. I think the Christian Coalition understands the right priorites God's people should be focusing on in this hour.

Several nuclear explosions in US cities takes away that whole argument for clean air and focuses on another bigger issue..you eternity, and where will it be spent. Al Gore and the lefty anti-God crew are setting the stage for 2008's catch phrase. "It's the Enviroment Stupid". And unfortunatly there are a lot of christians taking the bait...can you say apathy?

The left has also been trying to make the case that socialism (national health care among other programs) IS a Christian teaching.

There is no charity in paying Caesar taxes. The dole has been around a long time.

Personal charity, compassion, and witness is the Christian way.

the thing is that we appreciate it, and get the best use that we can, but we certainly wouldn't set it up as an object of adoration.

we appreciate our food, and don't waste it, but we certainly do not pray to it.
