Earth Minded
God didn’t create mankind for heaven. He created earth to be the residence of man. Most people have an idea that we are going to spend eternity in heaven, which is not true. We are going to spend eternity on the new earth.
There is an incredible amount of discussion concerning the earth and how we use the resources that we’ve discovered to create and enjoy the lifestyle that we want.
The combative ideas are at the very heart of the great debate over “to drill or not to drill” that is the question. The Democrats regurgitate their talking points, “we can’t drill our way out of the problem.” Their argument is based upon a their core belief system that disagrees with supply and demand economics. The Republicans don’t have any new ideas either. They simply want to open up every possible resource that we have to “flood” the market with oil to drive down the costs. Both are old arguments with asinine foundations.
The fact that we are still using fossil fuels to empower our lifestyles is truly amazing. We should move beyond this primitive technology.
The argument for the Christian is simply, ”let’s use everything up, we’re out of here soon anyway.”
That’s the kind of thinking that fulfills the old adage, “too heavenly minded to be any earthly good.”
