This film was premiered at Vue Inverness and at 65 cinemas across the country which will get it into the Guinness Book of Records as the World’s largest premiere, but it wasn’t the usual cinema audience. I suspect many of them had not been in the cinema for quite some time. We could have dismissed the subject; a man living alone in 2055 looking at videos of today and saying ‘why didn’t we save ourselves while we still had the time?’ We could have said ‘It’s just one of those apocalyptic horror movies’. The trouble is the science is perfectly sound. In fact climate change is happening faster than the worse case scenario models. We don’t have much time. What are we to make of this as Christians? As Duncan said on Sunday, Jesus was far from ‘meek and mild’ in the Temple with the money changers. There is a time to speak out. Environmentalists are blowing the whistle. We need to look at the evidence and I find this more and more compelling. We have been given a beautiful world and we are trashing it. Fast. Every year we use the fossil fuels built up over 400 years. Most of this is thrown away in one way or another and is killing God’s creation including mankind. This lent we need to repent of our greed:
“If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)
You still have a chance to see this film at Eden Court from 20th -26th March. Please go and see it. Then pray. Then act.
