2010/02/27 Day 10 of Lent 大齋期第10日

Step out to care for creation 踏出顧惜大地的第一步

Day 10 of Lent   27 February 2010 (Saturday)

Scripture Meditation> Ezekiel 34
1. What characteristics of God's rule are evident from this passage?
2. If our call to 'have dominion' is part of what it means for us to be made in the image of God, how does this picture of God's rule affect how we rule over the earth?

Carbon Fast> Determine
God is the shepherd king who promises to take care of the weak and the broken and give them rest on His land. We made in the image of God, should like God cherish His creation and care for our neighbours living under the threat of deteriorating environment. Please calculate your carbon footprints* and step out to care for creation by cutting your carbon emission.
* Please go to the website of WWF and the Green Council to calculate your carbon emission:

大齋期第10日 2010年2月27日(星期六)

默想經文>以西結書三十四章
1. 從這章經文,你看到神的管治有甚麼特色?
2. 若我們因著照神的形象受造,而蒙召去管治大地。根據這章經文的內容,我們當如何管治?

減碳行動>立志
神是那位應許照顧軟弱和瘸腿的小羊,並領牠們在自己地上安居的好牧人。我們按祂的形象受造,也當像祂一樣顧惜祂手所造的萬物,關顧受困於貧乏環境裡的鄰舍。請細心計算每日生活裡所留下的碳足印*,落實減碳計劃,踏出顧惜大地的第一步。

*「世界自然基金會」及「環保促進會」的網頁皆設有碳足印計算器,計算大家生活中的碳排放量。請登入以下網址:
