What kind of health?

Today is April 22 and on the calendar all around the world, today is "Earth Day". And on this day, the main concern of most people is the "ecological health" of the planet and how we can help in whatever way to "save the planet". Now it's one thing to be concerned with things like pollution, recycling, etc...but what about another type of pollution that seems to be unaddressed today?

The type of "health" that I talk about is spiritual health...are we as concerned about the spiritual health of the planet as we are about the ecological health of the planet.? Will it really matter if the planet is totally "clean", but has people in it who are totally godless? Would we then become like the sepulchre that Jesus talked about in Matthew 23:27...being beautiful but full of dead men's bones?

I know that several times throughout the Word, it tells us what man will be like in the last days and it seems that every time you read the paper, watch the news, etc...that our society is fulfilling what it being said-but do we give up on the world? Actually that should spur us on to continue in even more intensity the work that we do for the Lord, knowing that time is getting short and that we need to save as many as we can! Our job is to be salt and light and one of the tasks of salt was to be a preservative to keep things from rotting..I know the task may be hard at times, but we must continue if we truly say that we love others because Jesus first loved them.

So while everyone else is talking about "saving" the creation that is planet earth, I hope that we can re-dedicate ourselves about saving the creation that is THOSE who reside on the planet earth.
