I told you in the last message that I tend to be a news junkie, and I kind of really catch news that most people actually miss.

And one of the things I watched not long ago, it was a press conference held by a group of lobbyists who were trying to lobby the State Assembly in Sacramento, California,

for new legislation.

And it's to do with human rights.

And you say, well, isn't everybody be happy about that?

Yeah, but that human rights that they're asking for to be law is the human rights for plants,

trees, rocks, rivers, and animals. In fact, this type of proposed legislation has very powerful

supporters in the Obama White House.

And the question that kept going through my mind that as I watched that press conference and about this lobbying group, nobody was asking is this, how in the world are the trees

and the rivers and the animals and the rocks are going to sue their human rights violators.

Think about it. Well, in the last message, I told you that the source of all of our troubles,

individually, troubles corporately, culturally, and yes, the source of our trouble, even as Western

civilization, is when we do not have the godly perspective, the God perspective.

When we don't have the God perspective, our view of mankind is messed up. When we don't have the God perspective, our view of mankind is messed up.

When we don't have the God perspective, our view of nature is all messed up.

Our view of the creation is all messed up.

David said, when I consider the heavens, by the way, if you weren't here, we began Psalm

8 last message.

I didn't go very far.

It was only verse 1.

Oh, Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth?

And I'm going to finish the Psalm today.
