Wise People Reflect and Live for Christ Learning About All of Life All Their Lives

This sermon had a technical glitch that lost a section of quotes from Francis Shaeffer on ecology (an application of the text). See below for the manuscript text of that section. God's gift of extremely heightened wisdom is seen in being a student of all life and putting it into practice in all one's life to bless the lives of others. Wise People Reflecting and Living for Christ Learn About All of Life for All Their Life. Francis Schaeffer, Pollution and the Death of Man: The Christian View of Ecology (only the section that was cut out of the video): "Loving the Lover who has made it, I have respect for the thing He has made … Thus we must consciously deal with the integrity of each thing that we touch … treating all the things He has made in the same way as He treats them." " … as a Christian, I am consciously to deal with every other created thing with integrity, each thing in its proper sphere by creation." Points out God's covenant of creation: Genesis 9:8-17, is "with every created thing" and "between Me and earth." "God is interested in creation. He does not despise it … What God has made, I, who am also a creature, must not despise." " … we should be looking now, on the basis of the work of Christ, for substantial healing in every place affected by the Fall."
