If we are following Jesus, sometimes we're going to look like liberals, some times we're going to look like conservatives. Sometimes we'll be accused of idolatry. So what? We need to do what is right in God's eyes, and not be so concerned about if it seems to make us bedfellows with "idolotrist" liberals or conservatives. We have no guts to stand out from the crowd in Jesus' name.

Students/teachers can't seem to read or see the colors of the bins where the items should be placed. Like you, I believe we are responsible for helping to take care of our world.Elaine Boardleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97981409741282294.post-69544908143063953402012-03-12T13:10:09.347-05:002012-03-12T13:10:09.347-05:00An old friend who worked for the US Forest Service...An old friend who worked for the US Forest Service referred to himself as a conservationist. As as Christian conservationist in his view managed God's resources for the benefit of mankind. This included using and taking care of creation so that the resources would be available for for generation after generation. By contrast he felt environmentalists, in their zeal to save the environment, too often cross the line into idolatry. You don't have to be a "liberal tree-hugger" to care for the environment. Sadly the liberal environmentalist is the louder voice, and the conservatioist gets tagged with the label.Lee Wisernoreply@blogger.com
