Caring for Creation: A Responsible Act of Love
Being committed to the Jesus revolution, and showing “True Love”, goes beyond our relationships with Christ and other people. True love must extend from us to the rest of God’s creation – a creation he called “good”, and for which we are responsible. In this seminar, you will learn of God’s love for his creation, his mandate for us to be its caretakers, and some practical applications of environmental stewardship for Christians. We will also explore how loving God and loving your neighbor relates to caring for the environment.
