***Leftist secular foundations funded Christian-branded groups to infiltrate churches so they being preaching that the end has nigh because of climate change rather than the return of Christ
-ministry obligation that educates, inspires, and mobilizes Christians in their effort to care for God’s creation
-build a social and political space for evangelicals to redefine environmentalism through Christian theological perspective
-Bible-based response to global warming
- assertion that Christians should be spiritually guilted into promoting cap-and-trade legislation
-a call to have a unified moral voice on global warming by actively preaching, promoting, and practicing creation care in churches
-promote climate change activism within the church
-dealing with climate change is the duty of every Christian
***”But their ultimate aim has been to press for political action on a biblically debatable matter–to use the Church to produce a groundswell of evangelical demand for centralized government policy. And not just federal authoritarianism like the Green New Deal.”
