Have you read that book, Cara? I have had it saved on my Amazon list of things to eventually buy/read for a while now. Even before that, I’d stumbled upon that stock photo (the hands) and used it for a report. Small world–I’m excited to hear him speak!

I’m excited too. His is one of the books I keep thinking about picking up. It is one that is always being endcapped. I’m really hoping for practicals as well as awareness.

I think my timestamp is off. I was asleep by midnight.

I’ve heard Christians say the gospel is all we need to present, that a message mixed with “good works” is a watered down gospel. I wonder how they missed Mt 25:31-46, or the love your neighbor as yourself law as equal to the love God law. People are SO good at reading what they want to read- it’s really hard for us to be gut-level honest with ourselves, but it is essential. Then I’ve heard Christians speak only of a social gospel, which has no life in it, no filling of the empty heart, no messy blood and salvation. Somewhere there is a balance and it is found in submitting the deepest part of the inner heart, and listening to Jesus’ voice, in quiet intimacy with scripture and the Holy Spirit.

Okay, I confused the topic a bit, guess that has been on my mind.
When God told Adam to tend the garden, I think He was telling Adam(all men) to care for the earth. Sometimes God spoke to a single person but was referring to mankind in general, as when He told Adam not to eat the knowledge tree or he would die, God was saying all men would die. When God spoke in Rev 11, that He would destroy those who destroyed the earth, was He referring just to the big bombs? Can’t the earth be destroyed just as effectively with one drop of pollution at a time?

Thank you Cara for caring about the planet and also for the outreach you are having with this blog. I fully support you in this effort.
I will go and check out more about Blessed Unrest this week. I think God makes it completely clear to all of us that he is in control. The fact we can not control or create but we have the power to destroy should teach us something about ourselves and more importantly about God.
