Spiritual commitment or cheap grace?

Meditations by Ian White Maher: Praise | Gratitude | Joy | Transformation

Whether we like it or not, whether we think it is just or not, the world is now in the care of human beings. Our actions dictate and determine the life of every other animals now living on the planet. All so-called free space is circumscribed by human behavior. The most destructive behaviors are easy to see. The consequences exist right in front of our eyes.

Calamity is now staring us in the face as we look up from our hands wondering how it got to this. As someone who believes in the transforming powers of God and as someone who views the prospect of humans rescuing ourselves through material progress cautiously, I believe a successful environmental movement must incorporate a spiritual component.
