I watched
Louie Giglio’s “How Great is our God” DVD and was
struck at how lost the people of our planet are. The inhabitants of this tiny
spec of matter (in comparison to our cosmic neighborhood) are producing a sort
of chaos that truly defies comprehension.
We hang collectively on a sphere or minuscule ball,
suspended by forces we cannot comprehend while representing to one another,
madness!
It is fact that we have experienced extraordinary
technologies. We have proved to be a people capable of advancing with limitless
potential and yet our propensity to destroy one another is out pacing what we
have done or who we have tried to be.
We at one time understood evil. We knew it to be the
unimaginable, unthinkable, horrific and shocking. Today it is the 5:00 news!
As I write this someone is being raped, a child is being
molested, a wife is being murdered. I could point out all of the evil
atrocities plaguing our planet and the one commonality they all share is that
we are the one committing them.
Governments are collapsing; the economies of the globe are
collapsing while the mentality of loving one another collapsed several decades
ago.
I read recently where several terrorist died while working
with a deadly, bacterium! The insidious reality is that these guys made a
mistake along the way; along the way to what? I suppose it is safe to say that
we shall eventually have an answer to this question.
The good guys are killing the bad guys while the bad guys
are killing all of us. All of this occurring across the surface of a little,
tiny, blue marble that remains suspended in the cosmos of infinity!
Whether or not you are an optimist or a pessimist is
irrelevant. The fact remains, death by killing is as common as is child birth.
We visit other planets that have no life, marvel at the glory of other galaxies.
We are fundamentally inspired by the sheer beauty of the cosmos. At the same
time we prepare our selves to perform abortions or to kill each other on the
battlefield. It is what we do, how we live!
If one simply takes a good, long look at what is occurring
in our microscopic corner of the cosmos you will that evil has been
marginalized. In fact, you will see that it is just as much apart of us as is
the air that we breathe.
The biblical
account of our modern societies, found in the book of Mark (13:8) explains
our current state of mind rather succinctly.
