| Posted 3/11/2002 8:53 PM (GMT -6) |   | For a while now, I have been playing around with how natural laws and principles corolate with spiritual principles and in regards to our walk in Christ. For example: When you look at the environment, there are five principles that must be met in order for a particular ecosystem to be maintained. They are as followed:
quote:
Principles of Ecosystem Sustainability
First Principle of Ecosystem Sustainability: Ecosystems use sunlight as their source of energy
Second Principle of Ecosystem Sustainability: Ecosystems dispose of wastes and replenish nutrients by recycling all elements.
Third Principle of Ecosystem Sustainability: The size of consumer populations is maintained such that overgrazing and other forms of overuse do not occur.
Fourth Principle of Ecosystem Sustainability: Ecosystems show resilience when subject to disturbance.
Fifth Principle of Ecosystem Sustainability: Biodiversity is maintained.
Lets look at the Church/Body of Christ in the light of being an ecosystem. How do we stand up?- 1. Is God our main source of energy?
- 2. Do we truly see transformation going on within the church? Are we to the point where not only strongholds are being broken, but also the areas in our lives where the strongholds once were are recycled in such a way that regenerative life comes out of them?
- 3. Are we planting churches, sending missionaries to bring salvation to the lost or becomeing stagnant and obese due to our lack of action?
- 4. Do we show strength and resilience in times of termoil and disturbance?
- 5. Do we see the importance of how diversity, whether it be sexual, racial, or theological, impacts the church? As a whole, do we welcome diversity or do we shun it?
Do you see other natural laws that have a dual application both as stated and on spiritual principles? First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, Newtons Law?
