CHRISTOLOGY AND CLIMATE-CHANGE

CHRISTOLOGY AND CLIMATE-CHANGE

Climate change activists are raising valid concerns about the eye-watering fragility of our planet. As far as that goes, they are more right than they know. Life is only made possible on earth due to a very long list of high fine-tuned at-the-same-time parameters. These parameters are millimetre perfect. Take for example the gas mix of our atmosphere which is comprised of oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon-dioxide, methane, hydrogen, and neon. Our atmosphere consists of 21% oxygen. If it was even slightly more than this our atmosphere would be highly flammable and thereby life on earth would not be possible! Naturalists (those who dismiss the reality of the supernatural rule of God) fear that human activity risks a mass-extinction event including us humans, within thirty years unless things change. But they overlook one very important fact! Jesus Christ is Lord!

It’s only in the last few years that we have felt the Lord lead us to adopt a theme for the year. Last year, before many of us went into lockdown in our homes, we had felt the Lord put on our hearts the theme, Welcome home. This year, we have felt the Lord lead us to focus on the theme, grow. The word grow conjures up different emotions in me. There was a time, quite early in my pastoral ministry, when it was recommended to me that I engage a ministry coach. It was my desire to do all I could to see our little church at Legana grow. The ministry coach agreed that this should be my focus. It just so happened that at this time I was in the throes of my doctoral studies.

My Greatest Influencers, Part 1

When I converted to Christianity in my teen years, I soon began to tell as many people as I could about the amazing offer of forgiveness and eternal life that God was offering. I was hungry to learn as much as I could about the God of the Bible who had just rescued me. Someone at Life Centre Geelong introduced me to Christian teaching on audio cassettes from a private lending library in Sydney. I listened to hundreds and hundreds of Christian teaching cassettes in my teen years. Among the most influential teachers I regularly listened to was Winkie Pratney. It is difficult for me to overstate how influential Winkie was in my formative spiritual years. He helped to develop my love for Christ, my hatred of sin, and my pursuit of the Spirit of Holiness. But over the last 40 or so years since then, God has used several other key influencers who have been used to shape me. Through this time of shaping I have learned some valuable lessons about how to get the most out of an influential person. Let me share some of those things.
