Earth Day Celebration
Apr/04/2006 15:57
While many celebrate Earth Day & worship "mother earth" today, we celebrate the Maker of the heavens and Earth who alone is worthy of worship. It is a funny thing that we humans worship the created rather than the creator. I was director of marketing for an environmental recycling company that developed and sold equipment to prevent mercury from polluting our environment. It was the result of a God given "vision" to a godly business man that understood that we have a responsibility to be good stewards of the earth and it's resources. During my time with the company I rubbed shoulders with environmental activists that although well meaning were placing the care of "mother earth" above the needs of humanity and saw business and industry as evil, and referred to humanity as a bacteria on the planet. I remember thinking wow, if you follow that thru logically, we should kill the bacteria (ie humans) and allow the earth to remain unspoiled. The truth is, there is a bacteria that has infected and is destroying our planet: evil and sin. Pride and selfishness and greed are destroying our civilization and our planet. Responding to the great Love of the creator, creates a well spring of love for people, and also love and appreciation of the planet. Let's keep the right perspective..........spread the love today!
