Why Evergreen Matters!
Humble Creation Care Stewards
“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with
the glory that will be revealed in us. For creation waits in eager
expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For creation was
subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the
one who subjected it in hope that creation itself will be liberated from
its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the
children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning
as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. (Romans
8:18-22)

Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that
they may rule (take dominion) over the fish in the sea and the birds in the
sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures
that move along the ground."

“The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come
for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and
your people who revere your name, both great and small-- and for
destroying those who destroy the earth."” (Rev.11:18)

  • 2. Why Evergreen Matters! Humble Creation Care Stewards “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it in hope that creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. (Romans 8:18-22)
