    Counsel #7 — Sustainable Practices

    Picture: Counsel #7 — Sustainable PracticesCSI 104.1

    Living a faith-filled life extends beyond the walls of a church. Environmental practices, like supporting sustainable agriculture, choosing eco-friendly products, and minimizing single-use plastics, become expressions of our faith. These informed choices reflect a deep respect for God's creation. The Earth, teeming with life and resources, is a gift entrusted to our care. By taking action, big or small, we become responsible stewards, leaving a positive impact on the world around us. In essence, our sustainable practices become a mirror reflecting the character of our Creator. He is a God who cares for all He has made, and by aligning our actions with this care, we embody the very essence of faithful stewardship.[155]https://www.journalofadventisteducation.org/2022.84.2.6CSI 104.2
