Global Warming?

With all this talk about global warming and climate change I want to offer some thoughts. First of all, I’m not a scientist, so I don’t know for sure if global warming is even true or if it’s really caused by humans at all. But even if it is, there’s a deeper issue. When God made the world it was pronounced "good"(Gen 1:31). Creation fell when SIN entered the world- not when cars or factories were invented (Gen 3:17-18, Gen 6:5-7). So the reason the creation is so messed up is because of our sin in general. Some may say that our "sin" is not taking care of the earth better. But, no, Adam was probably taking care of the garden just fine (Gen 2:15)- until he disobeyed God’s commandment to not eat of the one tree God said not to eat from (Gen 3:6). So the real issue is disobedience to God’s commands. The real problem isn’t my carbon emissions it’s my sinful commissions. Because of our sin there WILL be a global warming one day. God has said he will destroy this earth with fire (2 Peter 3:7, 10) and make a new heavens and new earth (Is 65:17, Rev 21:1). So let’s seek God in this earth and look forward to the better one to come. Go green if you want to, but let’s let the Lord guide our steps, not the counsel of the ungodly (Ps 1:1).
