“God created us in freedom to be his intimate allies, and he will not give up on us. He seeks his allies still. Not religion. Not good church people. Lovers. Allies. Friends of the deepest sort.”
JOhn eldredGE, EPIC: THE STORY GOD IS TELLING (tHOMAS NELSON 2004), P. 66
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.“
John 10:10 (NKJV)
Welcome! This is a faith-based blog focused on stewarding well a creation still “wait[ing] in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.” Romans 8:19 (NLT). It’s meant to bring a subject that is sometimes seen as outside of, or even in conflict with, Christian values into a more coherent framework. Categories currently focus on creation care, energy policy, reliance on science, considering our investment choices, and some more general musings on how environmental stewardship fits into Biblical values.
In the interest of candor, the title is from Desert Solitaire by Edward Abby, who was not known to be a believer. Some of the subjects are more practical in nature and may be of interest regardless of where you are on your journey (though I do hope the quotes at the top may have piqued your curiosity).
