Been thinking.

We contrast the economic crises with that of the ecological crises and ask “where do we need to put our attention?” My observations of the world (my own life included) is that we tend to consider the economy of primary concern, whilst God’s earth is continually being plundered and the world’s poorest are most likely suffering the most. I am no expert in political matters, in fact I do consider myself an idealist.

I think that both crises’ are a result of the same problem. The problem = us and the selfish decisions we make, and perhaps the only way to solve these huge issues is personal transformation. The kind of transformation that Jesus brings when he confronts our evil. I feel so addicted to ‘stuff’, I feel as though I’m a slave to so many things, to products, image, status, wealth. I’m a slave to the culture that says to be someone you must be this or that, you ought to have this or that.

shit.

consume, consume, consume.

Perhaps YHWH was trying to save us from something when he said ‘worship no graven image’?

Perhaps the destruction of the planet, economy and peoples livelihoods are a result wide road?

I’ve unapologetically devoted my life to trying to consume less and asking the big questions in the meantime. In no way have I pulled it all together - and you don't need to point out where I’m failing because I’m quite possibly aware of it. But if you’ve up far a challenge - that is only good for the soul, come along with me, if you haven’t already done so.

Have a look at this video.



Don't stress about accuracy on the minor details of what she's saying - but try to grasp the whole concept - And if you have faith, I ask how does this correlate to what it you believe??

peace.
