It is but each of us has our passion. My current passion lies elsewhere with apologetics and the like. Our church needs to make up it's mind about membership in an apostate organization but since the local church is quite sound they just don't see that our association with the PCUSA is a problem. sigh. Some of the leadership wants to stay and some of the elders want to go. The Christian Ed committee will be leaving enmasse if we don't vote to leave. So we write letters, we pray and we try to be a source of information. Environmentalism might be easier :-)jibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18318963535849041376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314123951617104057.post-13874100831667568672013-03-04T11:05:38.356-05:002013-03-04T11:05:38.356-05:00Thank you, jib.

I believe we agree to the importance of "first things first" and then, what follows should in the proper (enlightened) order.jsilviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532165856127172031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314123951617104057.post-2412996611561808632012-05-15T14:48:52.194-04:002012-05-15T14:48:52.194-04:00Caring for God's creation is important but I h...Caring for God's creation is important but I honestly think there are things that are more important. Our society has fallen apart because we as Christians have failed to be salt and light for those around us. We have failed to bring ourselves under the authority of God's word and would rather go with what man says. Perhaps because you are in a Baptist church you don't see as much of that as I do since I am going to a Presbyterian church. It is truly frightening how Biblically illiterate people who claim to be Christians are in this day and age. They think a whole host of things are compatible with Christianity that aren't Biblical at all. They can't even give a reason to people for the hope that lies within them. To expect them to have a Biblically sound view of creation care when they can't even articulate the basics of the faith and why they are important to the faith is not reasonable.jibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18318963535849041376noreply@blogger.com
