The Earth Remains

Matt George · Oct 12, 2020 ·

I hear the words of the wise teacher in Ecclesiastes….

“Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.”

Really?

Or

Does our continued disconnect from God void our ability to see our shared connection to the earth?

How do we move back to connection with God and our Earth?

We have been trusted to steward our Earth, but we fight over science and

The wording….

Global Warming

Climate Change

Climate Patterns

Climate Cycles

Man Made Climate Change.

Why can’t we see our Earth is bleeding in pain and provide healing?

Forgetting the politics and arguments around wording.

Giving us FREEDOM to provide a change so the earth remains forever.

Connecting with God in a way that allows for us to see our shared humanity

AND

Our connection to the Earth rooted in our creation story.

God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth.”

To subdue and rule we must provide healing to a hurting Earth.

Can we provide healing to our land or will we continue to debate who is causing the damage?

“Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.”
