Stewardship

Improved Essays
In today’s society people has taken care of the environment in a different way. If God created the world and everything that goes along with it; then we as followers of God, Don’t we need to treat the world the way God would want us to? In Psalms 24:1-2 NIV it says “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.” How funny that not just people, but Christians themselves treat the world with such mocking and disrespect towards the environment. God had put his trust in us so that we could take care his treasures on this earth, and pass on the teaching towards our children from generations to generations.
As we all know that environment consist of Animals, Plants, everything that God put on this from the beginning of time. In (John 1:3 NIV) says “Through him all things were made: without him nothing was made that has

One can say that Christians should be a steward towards environment and how they conserve it; since the environment belongs to God and without God the world will not exist. God expect his children to grow and develop the way of being stewards. We need to take pride in our work. When we look at the earth we see how the earth is separated from day to night, how the animals coincide with one another in different places “land or sea.” The earth had many different civilization we go by; from nationality, cultures, religion, etc.; that coexist with one another. In (Genesis 1:31 NIV) says “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning- the six day.” So if God can see that the earth was indeed good, why can’t we improve the environment? We need to take part in being stewards by taking control of how we treat the environment and to begin enjoying the good looks of God

    Humans, as they are today, have existed for a mere 50,000 years, while the Earth is around 4.54 billion years old. Why, then, have humans disregarded the planet they live on and have chosen to send it to ruin by means of pollution, climate change, and mining deep below the surface? Because of mankind’s actions of destruction, the Earth has awakened from a tranquil slumber and sought restitution towards humanity for disturbing its once-peaceful state. In Auscultation, Steven Church is presenting the idea that, unbeknownst to most, Earth’s human inhabitants are what animate the prodigious planet and drive it to take on a life of its own. By conveying the tales of miners being held prisoner by Earth due to cataclysmic drilling accidents, Church is drawing parallels between humans and…

    God designed the ocean to only go so far allowing us to enjoy the beaches. The natural world is apparent in its beauty with a biblical view of scripture. Creation is designed to operate and organize together in such a manner that proves it was created by a superior architect. Genesis 1:1-31 talks about how God created the earth. All living things were created by Him. Romans 1:20 states, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse”.…

    In the book of Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, we discover that humans feel as though they were created to conquer and rule the world and every species in it. However, God never meant for man to travel aimlessly throughout earth on their own accordance. By his refusal to give us all the knowledge and wisdom that would be needed to govern the earth, he made it necessary for us to seek him for guidance in order to fulfill his desire. As we continue to possess an attitude of superiority, our way of life will destroy the world. Traveling down this road, we will bring civilization to destruction and calamity with our dominance, greed, and selfishness that will eliminate all species including ourselves.…

    Lorax Pros And Cons

    Humans tend to take their resources for advantage and use them only to the benefit of themselves; which more times than not, leads to the depletion or extinction of said resource. Dr.Seuss’ The Lorax is a great fictional example of this issue. A non-fictional example would be Easter Island. In both cases, humans have completely exhausted at least one resource becausethey’ve used it to benefit their own lives. These resources have been used up solely because humans are only in it for themselves, they are either oblivious to what they’re doing or they refuse to believe it’s harmful, and if humans do realize that what they’re doing is harmful, the only solution requires them to sacrifice something important to them; which is unlikely to happen given the…

    When two books go hand in hand, it is clearly not a mistake. The books, The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Bible (more specifically the Book of Genesis) evidently represent each other. In both books, the divine figure had a specific purpose to initiate the flood and who they wanted to be the book's’ “hero.” In reference to the Book of Genesis, the divine and humanity develop a tenacious relationship subsequent to the flood due to the divine realizing it was a mistake.…

    The leading of a team or group is not a simple task but involves real life skills that take time, thinking and commitment. The role of leadership is an essential aspect of an organization since it can determine the difference between success and failure. “Although leaders are gifted in different ways, with different personalities and varying skill sets, all leaders can grow, become more skillful, and become more competent so that they can achieve greater effectiveness” (Ledlow & Coppola, 2014, pp. 10). At times, leadership may seem overwhelming and complicated, but by concentrating on specific fundamentals they will find that they can guide the team with the assurance and competence.
