Creation Care
Any compassionate ministry that is directed toward human beings must
eventually come full circle to compassionate care for the environment
as well. This is because our own well-being is inextricably linked
with the well-being of all creation. Especially for the most poverty
stricken in our world, the tie between the destruction of the earth
and the destruction of their own lives is immediately apparent. The
poor suffer the most from the pollution of God's earth.
For this reason we have provided links, articles, and statements
on the Nazarene position on creation care. The biblical evidence is
convincing; we are charged to be good stewards of God's creation.

waste in our own lives.

We believe that the earth belongs to God, the Creator (Deut. 10:14;
Ps. 24:1), and that he maintains an active, sustaining presence
in his creation (Heb. 1:3). God is pleased with his creation (Gen.
1:31) and he demonstrates love and compassion toward all he has
made (Ps. 145:9,13,17). Creation was declared good before the creation
of humans (Gen. 1:21,25), and therefore it has value for its own
sake. Nature is a witness to the power and glory of God (Pss. 19,104,148);
viewing God's handiwork leads us to worship the Creator (Rom. 1:20).
