Jen gives us a much needed reminder this month that God calls us to care for the Earth that He created. Jen asks the hard question below– what would it take for you to become a godly consumer?
Can we unlearn our destructive habits and reimagine a way to live lighter on this earth? What if we changed our label from “consumers” to “stewards”? Would it change the way we shop? The way we think?
My luxuries come at the expense of some of God’s best handiwork: forests, petroleum, clean air, healthy ecosystems.
What does it mean to be a godly consumer? What if God’s creation is more than just a commodity? If we acknowledged the sacredness of creation, I suspect it would alter the way we treated it. ~ Page 136
