Global Warming

The first most concerting aspect of the global warming hype is not the temperature change. The most disconcerting concern I have is how Christians respond to this hype. Of course, we are responsible for caring for the earth. Shame on us all for not being better stewards of His creation. However, as Christians, our actions need to be focused on Christ and His direction for our lives. If the deceiver can sidetrack our actions, he has gained ground. Consequently, our actions (how we serve the Lord) need to be based on truth, not media hype.

The next most concerting aspect of the global warming hype is the side-tracking of non-Christians. Yes, the earth will ultimately be destroyed by global warming, but it will not be a gradual warming. The warming will occur very rapidly – in a single day.

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:10)

It is sad and ironic that more people seem to fear this gradual, so-called “global warming” that is too slight to even be discerned by the human skin rather than the rapid, blazing heat that will instantly engulf them at death if they do not turn to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The last weather and environmental prediction that was 100% accurate was given at the time of Noah. It is fitting that we return to the Biblical forecast to deal with these coming days. God has created this world and has plans for it in the present and the future. No amount of media or political hype can undermine the Word of God or alter our Creator’s Plan. Those who put their trust in Him should never fear the future nor ruin our economic system by trying to cope with this media hype about global warming.
