Ecology


ECOLOGY

The Bible clearly shows God's relations with creation and His desires for creation. God designed people and nature to be intricately associated through interconnected/interdependent relationships. We were given a charge (responsibility) by God to rule over & steward His creation (for the Glory of God, and the betterment of people and nature).

As faithful children and stewards of God, it is our duty to put our very best effort in all we do, so God will be honored and His Kingdom increased. Following beyond-organic, beyond-sustainable, eco-friendly, regenerative, permaculture methodologies is a simple solution that properly cares for/manages God's wonderful world.

This can easily be implemented everywhere... regardless of location (city, suburb, rural), or the size of the area (few feet, thousands of acres), or the practice of growing (planters, containers, raised beds, ground). This includes gardens, farms, orchards, ranches, homesteads, landscapes, edible landscapes, foodscapes, food forests, residential/commercial/government lands-parks-recreation areas, etc.

Following God's designs and desires in lifestyle, community, economy, and ecology greatly affects the health, wellness, and welfare of people & nature... in faith, relationships, society, livelihoods, government, animals, plants, food, clothing, housing, natural resources/materials, national security, etc. Take hold of God's Will.



What Is God's Will?
We are to love God with our entire being, and love others as ourselves (Matthew 22:36-40). We are to love our brothers & sisters in Christ Jesus as He loved us (John 13:34-35). We are to share Jesus and make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). We also are to cultivate and care for the rest of God's creations - nature (Genesis 1:26-31) (More Bible Verses on creation care).


Why Do You Do What You Do?
Our answer should be very simple... because I love God. Love is an action (not just merely words, thoughts, emotions, feelings). Loving God means you confidently trust Him, you obey Him, you please Him, you're loyal to Him, you follow Jesus Christ (imperfectly of course, but striving for excellence). Do you cherish, treasure, desire God (His Ways, His Truths, His Glory) above all pleasures/things? Do you love what He loves, and hate what He hates?

Our actions indicate/prove who we are - are you a follower of Jesus or a follower of the enemy (flesh/world/satan)? Our walk (actions) always counts far more than our words, thoughts, emotions, and feelings. What you do reveals who you are.


Our Duty To Rule Over, Care For, Regenerate God's Creation
As mentioned earlier... As faithful children and stewards of God, it is our responsibility to put our very best effort in all we do, so God will be recognized, honored, glorified (Colossians 3:23-24, Matthew 5:13-16), and His Kingdom increased. We were given a charge (responsibility) by God to rule over & steward His creation (for the Glory of God, and the betterment of people and nature).

God designed people & nature to be connected through relations and links (a web of life), which yields blessings or curses (Romans 8:19-23). Blessings come when we love (trust, obey, please, follow) God, and curses come when we do the opposite (rebel) against Him (Deuteronomy 28). May we do our very best to ensure blessings (2 Chronicles 7:13-14).

The decisions we make, our actions, and all we take part in must be allowed, approved and acceptable to God. Since God owns everything, we will all give a personal account to Him on how we have cared for and cultivated what He has created and entrusted to us.

Lets hope and pray for renewed and transformed lives in Jesus, as well as impacting and regenerating communities and the world (people, society, nature, ecology, environment, land, water, air, soil, vegetation/plants, animals, food, etc). Psalm 1, Isaiah 55 & 58

ORGANIC ECOLOGIC BIODIVERSE REGENERATIVE PERMACULTURE
(Following God's Design)

Non-GMO, Non-Chemically Treated, Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly
No Tilling, Easy Weeding, Less Hard Work
Saves Water/Energy/Resources/Time/Money
Healthy, Healing, Nutritious, Delicious


Where Is The Richest (Healthiest) Environment And Land/Soil In The World?
In the forest, jungle, perennial grasslands/prairies (where humans have not disturbed, no tillage, no monoculture). In nature everything is 100% reusable, renewable, sustainable; as well as plentiful/abundant. Go out to where nature has not been disturbed, look at what it is doing, and copy it. Allow God (Creator, Master, Intelligent Designer) to reveal Himself to you through creation/nature.


What Is Organic Ecologic Biodiverse Regenerative Permaculture?
It's just an elaborate way of saying "following what God designed" by imitating nature, observing nature, learning from nature, modeled after nature (what God wonderfully created). It's working with God & nature, rather than against God & nature. It's the design study of ecology/ecosystems (which of course God designed/created). It's a conscious design and maintenance system for ecological, sustainable, healthy, ethical, abundant living - integrating people, nature, environment, land, water, air, soil, vegetation/plants, animals, food, energy, buildings, etc. It is viewing God's amazing and beautiful designs/creations as interconnected/interdependent relationships with rhythm. May we do our part to care for, cultivate, and regenerate nature; which greatly helps/benefits the health, wellness, and welfare of people!


Where Can Organic Ecologic Biodiverse Regenerative Permaculture Be Applied?
Everywhere... regardless of location (city, suburb, rural), or the size of the area (few feet, thousands of acres), or the practice of growing (planters, containers, raised beds, ground). This includes gardens, farms, orchards, ranches, homesteads, landscapes, edible landscapes, foodscapes, food forests, residential/commercial/government lands-parks-recreation areas, etc.


How Can I Learn More And Apply It?
Pray and listen to God. Study our Owners Manual (the Bible). Go out to where nature has not been disturbed, look at what it is doing (observe/learn), and copy it. Allow God to reveal Himself to you through creation/nature. See "More Info" below.


Still others [seeds] fell on good ground and produced a crop that increased 30, 60, and 100 times what was sown.
~Mark 4:8

Dear friend, I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health physically just as you are spiritually.
3 John 2

Chip Drop, AboutTrees, FreeCycle, Craigslist, Local Tree Service Companies (Arborist, Landscaper). Get free wood chips from those sources.
Bona fide wood chips are chipped tree leaves, needles, twigs, branches (they are NOT bark chips or trunk chips). Genuine wood chips may contain a small percentage of chipped bark or chipped trunks of trees, but the most desirable type of wood chips contain predominantly chipped tree leaves, needles, twigs, branches (these wood chips provide superior nutritional value, water retention, soil insulation, don't blow away when windy, don't float away when watered, etc).

VALUE-WEALTH-RICHES OF ECOLOGIC SYSTEMS


In our economic systems, the value of ecology/ecosystems is worth very little in comparison to the by-products/commodities/derivatives (e.g. food, textiles, building materials, precious metals) that are produced and extracted from ecologic systems. This is fundamentally wrong.

In addition, even more value is given to world currencies, high-tech, computers, cars, houses, businesses, etc. We have created an extremely flawed practice (incentive), by placing little to no value on ecologic systems. Clearly, this needs to be corrected. We need to change our thoughts, intentions, motives, feelings, beliefs, desires, and actions.

Ecology/ecosystems, as well as many of its by-products/commodities/derivatives (e.g. food, textiles, building materials, precious metals), are absolutely necessary for humans to survive and thrive (a need, not a want). Therefore, ecologic systems should be valued the most. Then, its by-products/commodities/derivatives (e.g. food, textiles, building materials, precious metals) are of secondary value (not to mention, these can also be used to barter/trade with, in order to receive other foods, materials, products, supplies, and services that are needed/wanted). Finally, world currencies, high-tech, computers, cars, houses, businesses, and the like can be valued.

Healthy and abundant ecologic systems are fundamental to our livelihood, society, economy, and wealth (as well as a leading national security issue). Properly stewarding ecosystems by following organic, ecologic, biodiverse, regenerative, permaculture methodologies is a necessity, and should be a top priority.


We were given a charge (responsibility) by God to rule over & steward His creation (for the Glory of God, and the betterment of people and nature). However, most of us have responded in an ungrateful, unethical, irresponsible and unaccountable way. We have not embraced the interconnected/interdependent relationships between people and nature, that God amazingly designed. Our lack of love, trust, and obedience to God, to look after and care for this world as He desires, is evident. This explains the serious spiritual, human, ecological and environmental problems we face today.

It’s time we change and start being in sync, in tune, in harmony with God (walking with Him). Then and only then, can we renew, revive, regenerate ecologic systems and this wonderful world that God has created and entrusted to us... for the good of all. Loving, trusting, and obeying God brings blessings.
