The post modern generation seems to have a real interest in saving our environment. I guess it’s really about saving our world if you take the political rhetoric out of the equation. These young adults are full of enthusiasm! After all, I’m not aware of any world wide denomination that is more “creationist” than Seventh-day Adventists!

As a prophetic movement we give broad licensure to the implications of Revelation 11:18 “The nations raged, but thy wrath came… for destroying the destroyers of the earth.” Is this a message that needs embracing?

I wonder if there is room in Adventism for mission oriented local churches with the DNA of  a “green” back bone? Do we really believe man has been given authority as the progenitor of creation? Shouldn’t there be an inherent responsibility with the knowledge of Creation? At what point could our church be made more relevant with a prayer and practice of conservation?

If Adventism is not careful we will miss another opportunity to be in the forefront of leading the world in a paradigm adventure! God has opened before us a venue to bring thousands into a saving knowledge of His grace through environmental motifs. Let’s be Christ centered with the contemporary issues of our society! Let the rest of Protestantism be the historic church. I’m more concerned about now and the future. We are to be the relevant church of the present looking into the future. I’m proud to be a part of that kind of church.
