First, environmental stewardship is each person’s responsibility to use and sustain the earth. Note those two words together: use and sustain. Many environmentalists tend to consider only the latter, and they have a skewed perception of what it means: keeping the earth pretty much in its natural … [Read more...]

Punish Your Enemy, Crush the Poor? EPA’s New CO2 Rule Turns Christian Ethics Upside Down
Originally Published in the Christian Post June 13, 2014 Jesus taught that we're to love our enemies and look after the poor. But a new rule from the Obama Administration seems to fly in the face of both mandates.By now practically everyone in America must know that the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) new proposed rule on carbon-dioxide emissions from power plants will cost a lot and achieve next to nothing.Cost? About $50 billion a year in lost production to the U.S. economy, … [Read more...]
End Federal Ethanol Policy’s Harm to the Poor and the Environment

Well, the longest journey begins with a single step. But this journey could be completed in one fell … [Read more...]

For example, Germany, one of the strongest proponents of environmental regulations in the European Union (EU), has seen energy prices soar, making its prices the highest in Europe. … [Read more...]
Movie Noah Trades Redemption For Destruction
Was Noah a violent, murderous environmentalist who experienced an anthropogenic apocalypse? Did God hate humans because they destroyed His earth? Not according to the Bible. Darren Aronofsky, director of the new movie Noah, starring Russell Crowe, clearly didn’t read his Bible very carefully—or didn’t like what he read. The movie Noah changes a story of love and redemption into an environmentalist propaganda piece about humans destroying the earth, and a call for human extinction. Brian … [Read more...]
In a World of Demographic Despair, Christ is the Answer
With a rapidly shrinking population leading to grave economic and social problems, Japan is now reported to be experiencing a strange phenomenon: lack of interest in sex—not just for procreation, but even for recreation. Strange? Yes. Surprising? Perhaps not. Around the globe young people—especially in developed countries—are taught to live in what Michael Crichton aptly called a State of Fear. The Internet and more traditional media feed that fear with incessant claims of danger from every … [Read more...]
