3-1-20 - Ethics and Sustainability are Complicated

The readings for this week are Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7, Psalm 32, Romans 5:12-19, and Matthew 4:1-11. This week we look at the sin and how it can cause us to be less sustainable for profit now.  This then raises the question of are we living up the ethics we have for ourselves and comparing it the ethnics that we fight within the science community. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.  
Remember to answer this week's question:
Reflect on your own ethics. Have you been true to your ethics? How have you done lately? How can you improve your ethics or get closer to the standards you put on yourself?

The readings for this week are Exodus 24:12-18, Psalm 2, 2 Peter 1:16-21, and Matthew 17:1-9.
