“In such ecological destruction, we are also throwing our children and our grandchildren into the hands of this idolatrous economy. As we sacrifice the planet, we also sacrifice future generations. But what else could be expected from humans whose are reduced to competitive consumers? The future generations end up being little more than additional competitors, people who would strip us of our entitlement to prosperity now. Let’s not mince our words here. This is a praxis of child sacrifice.”

“Those who love God are those who embrace their calling to tend creation, who have a vision of life in the face of death, and who claim redemption even against the evidence.”

“Another way to put this is to ask, To whose household do we belong? If to Caesar’s, then continue with meal practices that reflect his household and his economy. But if we belong to the household of Jesus, if Jesus is Lord, then our eating together must bear witness to the economy of the kingdom of God.”
