How Should Christians Respond to Climate Change? // Ask Pastor John
A video published by Desiring God on June 12th, 2020
Climate-change activists warn of dire consequences if nations and individuals refuse to care for the environment. How should Christians respond?
Should global warming change how we live? It’s a question we get on occasion, and this time from a podcast listener named Timothy — a question for Pastor John who joins us again over Skype. “Hello, Pastor John. In a day and age where we’re bombarded with strong environmentalism, and save-the-earth propaganda, and green ideas, what should be the proper response of a Christian to all these pressures? Should we assume that climate change is caused by humans? How do we find a proper balance in ecological concerns when we are faced by so many things that seem like extremes: eliminating plastic straws, demonizing fossil fuels, and the rise of couples who refuse to have children because of the ‘impact on the environment’? It feels like the culture really is worshiping the creation instead of trusting the Creator. So how should a follower of Jesus care for a creation that will one day be destroyed by fire?”
