I think that one part that we can play in living into and as a part of the kingdom of God is being good stewards of the natural resources which are at our disposal. This can be in big or small ways depending on our particular place in life. However, every little bit counts.

To repeat your question: What do you think?

Cheers, Bob

γῆ .. gē .. ghay
Contracted from a primary word; soil; by extension a region, or the solid part or the whole of the terrene globe (including the occupants in each application): – country, earth (-ly), ground, land, world.

Here is the Greek for world (ala Jn 3:16):

κόσμος .. kosmos .. kos’-mos
Probably from the base of G2865; orderly arrangement, that is, decoration; by implication the world (in a wide or narrow sense, including its inhabitants, literally or figuratively [morally]): – adorning, world.

Why do you think that there are two different words?
