ECO SALVATION?



Everyone reading this is aware that global warming is probably taking place. If the news reports of all the wild weather are accurate (and I think they are) , it is highly possible that it is due to the rapidly changing climate of the earth. There are some scientist who believe the opposite - that the earth is actually cooling off. Who's really right? I can't say for certain. But I am enjoying the milder winter we've been having so far.





It is right to pray for those who are being battered by tropical storms and dealing with the effects of an earthquake, pray that this would be an opportunity for them them
hear the true message of salvation according to the Scriptures and turn to Christ before it is too late. It must be devastating to lose family members or a home or business to these natural disasters. But it will be tragic if they die without Christ.

It does seem however that the environmentalists are capitalizing on these events to push a form of earth worship or eco religion. If you've never heard of the Gaia Hypothesis, check it out. Gaia was the Greek goddess of the earth (Mother Earth). There are Gaia retreats, Gaia churches, Gaia bands and festivals. There is even a Gaia Centre, which opened in 2005 marking the launch of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. Here you can read an article called Gaia, our Living, Awakening Earth (It's author says: "I would like you to come with me on a great adventure, an exploration of humanity's potential as seen through the eyes of the planet, and to share with me a vision of our evolutionary future. The journey will take us beyond this place and time, allowing us to stand back and behold humanity afresh, to consider new ways of seeing ourselves in relation to the whole evolutionary process. We shall see that something miraculous may be taking place on this planet, on this blue pearl of ours. Humanity could be on the threshold of an evolutionary leap, a leap that could occur in a flash of evolutionary time, a leap such as occurs only once in a billion years. the changes leading to this leap are taking place right before our eyes-- or rather right behind them, within our own minds." - Peter Russel, 1983).

It seems they are all gaga over Gaia. Well, they have to worship something. In case you hadn't noticed, Gaia is usually depicted as being pregnant. I keep wondering if this doesn't have something to do with the birth of the Beast described in the apocolyptic writings of Scripture.

Romans 1:18-23 talks about earth worship~

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things."

The majority of the scientists and politicians who are pushing the world to protect and save it do not believe that the God of the Bible is the creator of the universe. They are, by and large, evolutionists and atheists.

How, as a Christian, are we to respond to this movement? We are called to be good stewards of the earth, that is true. I'm all for recycling, using wind power, etc. But the environmentalist movement goes way beyond that, and I find it impossible to believe that it could be a good thing to be joining hands with any person or organization that is promoting earth worship. They are up to no good thing. If you go to Roll Over Menno, you can read some of the things that the Mennonites are involved in with these groups on their November 14th and 17th postings. This should not be happening! What fellowship hath Christ with Belial?

I came across two startling videos on Youtube this Spring which really opened my eyes to what is going on with the whole environmentalist movement. This is a HUGE movement. As Paul Hawken, environmentalist, researcher, and author of Blessed Unrest says, it has come in under the radar. They do have an agenda. Are you familiar with it?

I encourage you to check out all the links on this page to see what is being planned for the inhabitants planet earth. Environmentalists insist that we can save this planet from its path of destruction and they will try to do it by any means, even to the point of taking drastic measures to control population by dastardly means. But GOD says the earth WILL pass away in 2 Peter 3 ~ "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the 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." Go here to read the chapter in its entirety to see how we are to respond to this news. Who are you going to believe, God the author of all truth, or Satan the father of lies?

In light of the fact that the world's religions are also beginning to unite, and with what is going on in the Middle East Peace Process, it does appear that we are in the final stages of the last days.

Will you be ready when the following happens? ~
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
It's time to make sure.

EVEN SO LORD JESUS COME!!
