Turn lights off on FEB 1st for 5 min 19h55 to 20h!

The organisation Friends of the Earth (Les Amis de la Terre) are organising a huge international action in order to bring our attention to the global warming problem. It is not enough to see Al Gore's film ;-) but we can do something. The idea is to turn off all lights at 19h55 on February 1st, and during 5 minuts give a relief to our already overheated planet. Why that day? because the expert's report on the environnement will be presented on February 1st.

As Christian, I believe that the Earth is the good creation of a Good God. And I also believe that according to His amazing plan, this planet is our inheritance. Humanity has received the stewardship on creation ... unfortunately, due to our lack of involving God in our "ruling" we see the disasters. I think of the following Bible verse

The nations were angry; and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,
and for rewarding your servants the prophets
and your saints and those who reverence your name,
both small and great— and for destroying those who destroy the earth.
Revelation 11.18

I also think of our responsibility as children of God on the preservation of the Earth and the creation ... Romans 8.19 clearly states that

The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.

If you are a Christian, and you read this please turn off your lights for five minuts at 20h of February 1st, wherever you are!.

This post is evidence of my full adhesion to this action. The picture is a bit old, but still valid ;-)
