Stress is a killer. Jesus knew that and he gave us prescriptive commands to help us live the lifestyle of faith. Who was under more stress than Jesus? Yet, he was cool, calm, and collected as he walked this earth.

Like Jesus, we live in a hostile spiritual environment, with circumstances that are outside of our controls, and with pressures all around us. Can we make it without being destroyed by the stresses of life?

What do you do to show you care about the earth? Plant a tree? Talk about recycling?  From God's perspective there is something worth saving on the earth- but it isn't the trees.

Caring about people is the heart of God. We need to understand the heart of God if we are going to be his followers.
