global warming

Global warming, increasing poverty, uncontrolled dictators,
what is that to us?
Are believers looking for a change or do we say, “Well, the boat
is sinking anyways, why should we fix a sinking boat?
Besides that, doesn’t the Bible teach us to be content in all
circumstances? Phil.4:11”
It amazes me how superficial believers sometimes are with their
religious comments.
Yes, we believe that contentment is a great gain in all circumstances,
but we also believe that we should not accept all circumstances.
When Paul was touring Athens in Acts 17 he was provoked by all
the idols. He didn’t say:” Well, this is Athens, what can I do about it?”
He went to the most important place of influence in the city and
said,” Men of Athens, listen to me.”
I find two important reasons for looking for a change.
First is the recognition that time is a gift from God.
Time is not our enemy and it is not the opposite of eternity.
Things done in time have effects in eternity.
Every second is a new opportunity to glorify God and his character.
Visible things are also a gift from God.
Heaven and Earth, the material world, will one day pass away,
but not by man’s mistake. Man cannot destroy this planet,
even though he is working hard to do it.
When time is full, God himself will remove the heaven and the earth.
The visible things have their effect in the invisible world.
This is why we seek to be good citizens; labor with our hands
and honor the rulers as long as they don’t ask us to go against
the will of God.
Faith, like a mustard seed, is a little, extremely valuable detail
in time that will have everlasting results in the future.
