After studying a recent Sunday School lesson on stewardship of the earth, it occurred to me that if Alabama Baptists were to rally together as they did to defeat the proposed state-sponsored lottery, we could make a real difference in the appearance of the state.
If pastors were to preach against litter with such energy as they did against gambling, would people not become aware of the wonderful gifts God has given us to take care of? One need only walk one block to realize there are far more litterers than gamblers.
If Alabama Baptists were to assume the responsibilities the Bible tells us we have, can we picture the difference it would make?
