Church and Climate Change — Love Thy Neighbor, With Truth

By Vijay Jayaraj / August 17, 2018

The Christian church worldwide has always sought to improve people’s welfare. It has been the forerunner for justice and freedom. That is understandable, because Jesus demands that we love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31). How then, in light of the best scientific and historical knowledge, ought the church to respond to climate change? How

By H. Sterling Burnett / June 21, 2018

Pope Francis Is Wrong. Climate Craziness, Not Climate Change, Threatens to ‘Destroy Civilization’

By E. Calvin Beisner / June 14, 2018

At a conference at the Vatican Saturday, Pope Francis told oil executives “climate change” could “destroy civilization.” The Pope’s warning ensues from his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’, in which he called climate change “a global problem with grave implications” and “one of the principal challenges facing humanity.” He warned that it would most gravely impact the poor,

By E. Calvin Beisner / June 6, 2018

The Associated Press’s report today on the continuing volcano eruption on Kilauea, the main island of Hawaii, which has destroyed hundreds of homes, included the sentence, “Those who live or vacation in the area were mourning the loss of popular tide-pools where kids enjoyed swimming,” which got me thinking: If, as they do, natural processes routinely

By E. Calvin Beisner / March 25, 2018

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s. Heavenly Father, Your Word is filled with warnings about the dangers associated with riches. What will it profit a man if
