When a car tire is out of balance, it literally destroys itself. When our priorities are out of balance, we can destroy not just ourselves but others as well. Fame, wealth and beauty are highly esteemed in our culture but the sparkle is merely fools gold. Like cotton candy, these things have has an appearance of substance but they do not satisfy. The list of celebrities with self destructive lifestyles continues to grow. Heath Ledger's recent death is but one example in a long list of lives claimed by the emptiness promises of this world.
It is one thing when an unbalanced life destroys itself but it is entirely another matter when an unbalanced life destroys others. I have watched with growing grief and alarm as animal rights environmentalists, viciously malign, destitute and starving peoples around the world, to prevent them from hunting food to sustain their families or to use to barter for clothes, comfort or medicine. Environmentalists, far from the destitution of Africa, indoctrinate our young in an ideology that will forcibly deny food to needy children in the name of environmentalism.
I viewed a YouTube video recently showing how people in Africa were using trained rats to seek out land mines in mine fields. Using their keen sense of smell, and tethered on a very short leash between 2 men, the rats could safely locate the mines without detonating them. I wished them well in their quest to reclaim their land from the horrors of war. but was grieved and angered to see environmentalists curse them, with profanity drenched tirades objecting to using the rats in a dangerous situation. Here is a few brief samples:
I'd rather see some kid or better, a bunch of kids get ripped and blown to shreds than see an animal get killed. But yes, they are definatly to light to trigger the mines.
Whether or not they're 'saving people' I find it disgusting that they choose to use animals to do this.
i find humans worthless compared to the life of an animal. HUMANS put HUMANS's lives in danger, animals didnt. WHats the big deal, they skin dogs for fur, why not skin a human for fun, huh? Yeah, you can report me as spam as you are the higher class scum who thinks your better than everyone else.Save the whales but damn the children. The godless nature of modern environmental places the value of mere animals on par with the value of the humans whom Jesus died to save. How have we come to tolerate such wickedness? The environmentalists are at a very safe distance from the horrors of war and I wonder how long they would cling to those ideologies if they had to locate the mines themselves. With an estimated 80 million land mines and scant medical care available, I suspect they would quickly be of another opinion.
Matthew 18: 1 - 6:Despite the clear biblical commandment to love thy neighbor, this diseased ideology has even infested the church under the name "Creation Care". Seasoned pastors who should know better, have turned their back on Biblical truth and upon people created in the image of God, to bow the knee to modern environmentalism. Lazarus has been laid at their doorstep, only to be turned away. Churches have been caught up in a heresy that has sought to save all manner of creatures at the expense of human beings created in the image of God. Jesus died to save humanity, not the whales.
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

Most people who are heading down this road would say that they value human life more than that of animals or rodents. Fish. It's the most extreme case that someone would put a kid over a landmine in place of a rat.
ReplyDeleteBut that isn't really the point. The point is that this movement has ugly roots. That the endgame of this movement is disgusting. If left to advance to the end of this road, it would require you to accept heresy as truth and to remove your eyes from God.
Why would anyone want to dabble in it or be associated with it? Why not instead focus on bringing honor to a holy God and keep our own hands and heart clean.
Follow the road that can only lead to Truth.

We have become hyper-sensitive to Bambi's need's but insensitive to people groups who still hunt, fish or barter to survive.
