RE: "If we are not faithful in our stewardship of the air, water and land, fear says we are going to die! But the Christian steward comes from a totally different perspective."

Jesus taught that the second greatest commandment is, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." And because of the way water, air and energy flow through nature and across the planet, there are countless connections between our environmental stewardship and the wellbeing of many others, including generations yet unborn.

So might we, out of Christian love, fear for them?

"Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?" (Matt. 7:9 ESV).

Or which one of you, if your daughter pleads with you to protect the well which supplies water for her family, fields and flock, will draw the well dry and fill it with your garbage, saying, "Fear not. Have faith in God"?
