Today, the overwhelming majority of climate scientists warn us that continuing to burn huge amounts of coal, oil and gas will lead to an increase in the number and intensity of droughts, floods and storms in the world. Nothing in these warnings or the science behind them seems unchristian, and the warnings should be taken with the utmost seriousness.

God's Abundanceby Steve Countryman 1/21/2015 / Christian Living
God's abundance is so great that all of the people not only had enough to eat but were "satisfied", full, stuffed, gorged, time to loosen the pants belt a little.

Jesus took care of all of their needs including healing, deliverance and their empty tummies, God's abundance!
Now Jesus knew that the disciples didn't have enough food to feed the people. But what He spoke was "that which is not as if it were".
