The title of my blog post and video today is, climate crisis or climate narrative? A biblical view. In today’s post, I want to look at the climate debate through a biblical lens. Not through the lens of politics, not through the lens of mainstream media, and not through the lens of fear. As Christians, we are called to live by truth, and it is the truth that sets us free.
This topic came up again after reading a recent article from the Guardian about Donald Trump and a major winter storm in the United States. The article argues that the storm does not disprove global warming, and it pushes the familiar “climate crisis” framing. You can read the Guardian piece here if you want to see it for yourself:

I also referenced a Telegraph column which claims Britain is becoming increasingly isolated on net zero while other nations slow down, change direction, or prioritise their own energy security and economies. Here is that article:

1) Why This Matters for Christians
Whether you agree with Trump or not, and whether you trust the Guardian or not, the bigger issue for believers is this: are we going to build our worldview on headlines and institutions, or on the Word of God?
Many climate narratives are not simply about “caring for the planet.” They often come packaged with fear, guilt, pressure to conform, and the claim that the future is hopeless unless we surrender more control to governments, corporations, and global bodies. That should set off alarm bells for Christians.
God does not lead His people through panic. He leads through faith. And faith has an anchor: the promises of God.
2) A Biblical Foundation: God Rules Over Creation
When we read Scripture, we don’t find a God who is distant and powerless. We find a God who is actively involved with His creation. Rain, seasons, harvest, and provision are not random accidents. The Bible describes them as being under God’s authority.
Deuteronomy 11:13–14
In Deuteronomy, the Lord ties rain and provision to His covenant relationship with His people:
“And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.”
This reminds us that the weather and the seasons are not outside God’s care. The Lord is not confused by storms, and He is not scrambling in heaven trying to patch up a “broken climate.”
Psalm 147:8
The psalmist speaks plainly about God’s ongoing involvement:
“Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.”
Again, the message is clear: God is not absent. He is active.
3) The Key Verse: God’s Covenant With Creation
One of the most overlooked verses in modern discussions about “climate catastrophe” is Genesis 8:22. This is God’s covenant promise following the flood.
“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.”
This doesn’t mean we will never see storms, droughts, floods, or harsh winters. We live in a fallen world and we know creation groans. But it does mean we do not need to embrace the modern obsession with doom. God has spoken, and His Word stands.
I have written before about God’s providence and the importance of rejecting despair while still being wise in how we live. You may also like this post:
4) Don’t Confuse Stewardship With Surrender
Christians should be good stewards. That means we avoid waste, we look after what God has given us, and we live responsibly. Stewardship is biblical. But stewardship is not the same thing as surrendering to a narrative that is used to control, shame, or manipulate people through fear.
There is a difference between:
- Wisdom (living responsibly and gratefully), and
- Fear (living under constant pressure, guilt, and panic).

5) Choosing God’s Word Over Man’s Word
In my video I made a simple point: if you look at certain political figures, media voices, and institutions, you have to ask yourself, “Why should I trust them?” Many of these same institutions have been wrong about major issues repeatedly, yet they demand absolute trust when it comes to climate.
At the end of the day, every person makes a choice:
- Will I build my thinking on God’s Word?
- Or will I build my thinking on man’s shifting ideas?
As for me, I’m choosing God’s way.
6) The Most Important Thing: Salvation
Whatever your view on climate, politics, or the media, there is something far more important than all of it: your eternal destiny.
I shared a simple prayer at the end of the video for anyone who wants to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. If that is you, and you genuinely mean it, God hears you.
“Dear Lord Jesus, I acknowledge You as Lord and Saviour of my life. I repent of all my sins and I ask You today to take over complete control of every aspect of my life. Amen.”
Once you have just prayed that and you meant it, I would encourage you to do two things:
- Tell someone (leave a comment, or speak to a trusted believer).
- Find a strong Bible-believing church that teaches the full gospel.
