Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) President and CEO Rev. Mitch Hescox introduced a blog piece November 27, 2012, titled “My Meeting with Brother Cal,” by saying, “Christian leaders making misstatements to serve their own ends, attacking other believers for not agreeing with their worldview, and misusing science turn people away from the good news in Jesus.” In logic and debate, that’s called “poisoning the well.” After having done so, Rev. Hescox said that during a radio program … [Read more...]
Is There Hope for a World Slipping Back into Pagan Nature Worship?
Some of today’s environmental movement is clearly a revival of ancient pagan nature worship, exemplified inthis video of Earth First members crying out, speaking not only of but to trees, and referring to the forest as a “tabernacle.” Isaiah 1:29–31 contains a sobering warning for those who worship and serve the creature rather than the Creator (Romans 1:25). Speaking of the idolatrous people of Judah and Jerusalem shortly before God sent them into exile in Babylon, the prophet Isaiah said, “… … [Read more...]
Evangelicals, Global Warming, and Intellectual Freedom and Integrity
The great Russian scientist and human rights activist Andrei Sakharov wisely said: "Intellectual freedom is essential to human society—freedom to obtain and distribute information, freedom for open-minded and unfearing debate, and freedom from pressure by officialdom and prejudices.the only guarantee against an infection of people by mass myths, which, in the hands of treacherous hypocrites and demagogues, can be transformed into bloody dictatorship. Freedom of thought is the only … [Read more...]
Cornwall Alliance: “Playing Silly Games with Pseudo-Science”?
Is dangerous manmade global warming as certain as that Jesus of Nazareth existed? If you’re a well-informed person with a tolerable knowledge of the overwhelming historical evidence for Jesus’ existence and the enormous and complex controversies over global warming, your answer, after brief reflection, should be easy: No. And if you’re a thinking Christian who recognizes the Bible as the Word of God, your answer should be instant and without hesitation: Definitely no. Shockingly enough, … [Read more...]
Prayer and Practice in the Wake of Hurricane Sandy
As I write, much of the northeastern United States is reeling from Hurricane Sandy, which brought high winds and warm, moist air from the Caribbean. It joined with a “nor’easter,” which brought cold winds from the east, making a particularly devastating storm. Please join us in prayer for the roughly 50 million people in the area struck by this powerful storm. Pray for their safety, for their comfort as they suffer economic losses and often frightening situations, and especially for comfort … [Read more...]
Science Publisher Calls for Better Communication – But Not of Science
Originally published on WattsUpWithThat.com. Alan Leshner is worried. It seems scientists are having a hard time getting the public to understand science, and since “Public understanding of science … contributes to the extent of support for scientific research,” something must be done. Leshner, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and Executive Publisher of its flagship publication, Science, wrote in a recent editorial, “There is no shortage of topics where … [Read more...]
Putting Together the Pieces in the Spiritual World War
Did you know that Darwinism, the sexual revolution, and the Green movement, all working together, threaten the sanctity of human life; the dignity of human sexuality, marriage, and the family; and the God-given mandate for human beings to exercise godly dominion over the Earth? They do, and they’re all parts of a spiritual world war in which Satan, who hates God but cannot attack Him directly, attacks His image/representative—humanity. A little historical background, tied to an … [Read more...]
Special Alert: Climate Alarmists on the Left Seek to Capture Young Evangelicals
For years, the Cornwall Alliance has been warning that radical environmentalists are infiltrating evangelical churches, “greening” the gospel message, and targeting our youth. A major recent development in that infiltration is the founding of Young Evangelicals for Climate Action.Don’t let the name fool you. Though its public spokesman, Ben Lowe, is young, the prime movers behind him have been pushing environmental alarm, and before that wealth redistribution through the welfare state, for many … [Read more...]
Environmentalism: The Established Religion of Western Society?
Last week Dr. Vaclav Klaus, an economist, the second President of the Czech Republic (2003–), whom The Times of London described as the Margaret Thatcher of Central Europe and who knows what it is to live under tyranny, said of believers in catastrophic anthropogenic global warming: Their ideas are the ideas of ideologues, not of scientists or climatologists. Data and sophisticated theories will never change their views. We have to accept that they have succeeded in establishing the religion of … [Read more...]
Protecting the Unborn and the Pro-Life Movement from a Misleading Environmentalist Tactic
A Joint Statement by Pro-Life Leaders Recently some environmentalists have portrayed certain of their causes as intrinsic to the pro-life movement. The tactic often involves appealing to a “seamless garment” of support for life, or to being “consistently pro-life” or “completely pro-life.” As leaders of the pro-life movement, we reject that portrayal as disingenuous and dangerous to our efforts to protect the lives of unborn children. The term pro-life originated historically in the struggle … [Read more...]
