everyone wants this world to be their idea of what the world should be -
which is absurd. your world view is shaped by what the world tells you to think about itself, but it doesn't get accomplished unless the vast majority of the population thinks this same way.
what will have to change is the world seeing how God meant for things to be.
unfortunately, this wont happen until it's too late. no man seeks after God, no man desires pure goodness - everything is an outset of professed morality - only on the basis of being better than the rapists, drug lords, thieves and homeless. academia, philosophy, self righteousness - all beliefs based on looking inside. that means you're looking to the very thing that violates God and His all.
things never looked the same, since I got to this point.
all the sudden I started considering the other buttons on the calculator. all the sudden, I thought about trying something on the menu that I've never heard of. all the sudden, music, art, sex and life had it's context - and it's infused in my mind.
God made us image bearers = even after the fall.
So the things we posses, are intentional from God.
Intellect, perception, love, anger, laughter, desire - all things imbedded from God.
What happened was sin ruined it all, and the Devil distorts it beyond that.
So - God making us sexual beings - to be fruitful and multiply within the confines of marriage is his intention. But the problem is that our world is driven by sex - and porn is beyond the internet and always has been before computers and the printing press.
God made us creative - but we love being creators, and forsaking Him as Creator. Because our expressionism is seemingly so profound that we think our own genius has been self-originated - and we knock all others aside to raise up our pedestal and be seen more than any other. We want to be God - and most philosophies and religions lead that path.
God made us to feel - and we exaggerate, abuse, stimulate, manipulate and meddle in things we ought not do. A lot of medicine is based on the idea of trying to stay alive - though it's not bad to take care of yourself, it just goes to show that man is scared to die - thus admitting God's sovereignty. A lot of diets, plastic surgeries, make-up, clothing, cars and homes are meant to be a facade to who we really are. They are good things too - but very much riddled with sin and disguise. A lot of drugs and alcohol are meant to be the salvation of the moment - and an escape from the deafening reality of dying humanity.
What will change it all is the Gospel. The good news of Jesus will change a person - 180°. But the saddening reality of this is that most people find this notion so bizzar, and that is because it goes against every indoctrination of life that fallen man has told us from crib, through school, into the workplace.
Jesus makes for a real identity. He changes the paradigm of sex. He changes the methods to stewardship and living. He is the focus of all that is good and perfect- thus being the originator and conduit of all creativeness and expressiveness. He eventually binds up the devil and every knee bows to confess he is Lord - willingly or not.
Then the world view changes to a Gospel view.
Then this world dies - to be made new - with those whom God saves.
Just some thoughts.
