An Agenda

Today’s Thought An Agenda G. Ward

“For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.” Psalm 1:6

Sadly, divorce rates for the church don’t differ with the stats for the un-churched. Promiscuity is also rampant in both worlds. Both worlds do more theorizing than necessary concerning the plight of mankind. These observations rely more on historical accounts of man’s achievements throughout history that are entirely limited and inevitably inconsequential. It has to do with “new and improved.” The innovativeness of our greatest grandparent’s era is now recognized as medieval (truly wonderful for them, yet totally regressive for us). Moreover the contemplations of man contain only temporal antidotes, yet we run hurriedly towards them, only to be satisfied until the next let down (as there will be let down).

We must begin to proclaim our insufficiency apart from Holy God (Jn. 15:5). Generations may follow to become progressively worse, even forgetting that there is God (cf.Jdg.2:10). If our response regards it as an arduous process vs. immediate reconciliation towards righteousness, we conclude that it may be too difficult for the Master. I dare not! Happy Friday!
