I would be considered “green” by many standards. I buy much of our food in bulk and make it from scratch, eliminating packaging. I choose clean meats and chemical-free produce and grains, sourcing a lot of it locally. I buy natural cleaners or make my own. I opt for more natural skin care products and sometimes make up my own. I generally avoid over-the-counter and prescription medicines, desiring only to use these options as a last result if need be. I use cloth diapers. I recycle and buy used items often.

However, I don’t do this because I have some sort of allegence to the earth. I don’t hold to the belief that the earth should be preserved and left untouched by mankind.

The earth was created for our use and enjoyment. God created the earth and all that is in it to reflect His remarkable glory and power and order and creativity, and HE created man to take dominion over it.

When we stand in awe of the stars in the sky or the breathtaking mountains, we are reminded of how great our God is. Unfortunately, many choose to worship the creation in stead of the Creator. We were made to worship, and many who reject God fill that God-size space with reverence for His creation.

It’s because of this that many Christians are turned off by environmental stewardship. I understand the frustration. We live in a world that protects wolves and whales but kills babies in their mothers’ wombs. I sometimes cringe when I hear of radical efforts to protect trees or polar bears. These efforts are accepted and praised, but standing up for the rights of the unborn is shunned. Its good to take care of the earth and all that is in is, but human beings should be our focus over temporary and fleeting things of this earth. .

So, how do we steward the earth’s resources wisely without falling prey to the extreme environmentalism of our day?

We must first and foremost remember where we fit into the big picture and why we’re here. For those who believe we evolved by chance from the random processes not explained by even our “advanced” scientific understanding, there is no reason to put man above nature. But for those who believe we were created in the image of God, with a soul and an eternal future, taking dominion over nature makes sense and is in fact a mandate.

Does it have a soul? If so, love it, protect it, disciple it. Animals and plants and earth, on the other hand, should be cared for responsibly. Animals can be companions. They can be enjoyed and used. The land and all that grows from it should be sustained and cared for according to the natural order our Creator established.

Once we understand our created order and our responsibility in regard to the earth, what can we do to steward it well? This is the question I believe we should be asking.

I hope to see more response from Christians in this area. I don’t believe we should skirt our duty to be responsible in this area simply because some have perverted this in the form of extreme environmentalism that places man and nature on the same level.

Let this Earth Day be a reminder of our duty to care for this temporary home of ours. With wise stewardship of Earth’s resources, we can enjoy a cleaner environment and a well-nourished body and optimal health for focusing on what really matters: loving others well and discipling all nations, praising God and giving Him glory in it all.

I am glad to see this kind of approach becoming more and more common. I recently checked out Into the Amazon: One Lost World, Thirty Men, Seven Mysteries from a local library and have enjoyed making my way through all FOUR DVD’s. I am impressed with how this topic is presented here and highly recommend it as a teaching tool. It is a great launchpad for discussion and further exploration.
