Another article from a fellow blogger...
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creature - old things have passed away, behold all things have become new." II Corinthians 5:17We are all so frail, weak and at our very core so selfish and (for lack of a better word), evil. We innately seek to survive for ourselves, feeding our desires for sex, money, food, image. We are also so very corrupted. It's reflected in our world.
Indeed, we live now as wars are being waged both physically and spiritually. The value of human lives is so very low. Then there are those among us who are content to just let the world go by and never take take a stand good or the bad, figuring if they don't get involved - it's like they were bystanders the entire time and blameless for our world's troubles. After all, they didn't start it. They're not a part of it. This unassuming attitude is bullshit. It's pretending. That you're in some way above the rest of us sinners, murderers, thieves and wretches.
Like it or not - as Tyler Durdam says "We are all part of the same compost heap."
We all have the same potential to change and make a difference. Take on the job of educating ourselves about our world's troubles. Then changing. Thinking. Solving. It's a matter of choice, followed by action and inspiration. Taking part in the action is a start, then it's the inspiring that follows.
Let light shine out of darkness..
"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in dispair; persecuted, but not abandoned, struck down, but not destroyed." II Corinthians 4:7-9
When you've given up yourself, dying to your own all-consuming self-serving life. Then, and only then can you truly begin to live.
