The Problem
The
problem is not immorality, social injustice and poverty, saltless salt,
an abnegation of our responsibilities to the Creation, materialism, evil
corporations, conviction-less power-hungry leadership, hatred and
abuse, conscienceless violence or anything else you want to add to the
list. They are all just symptoms of the real disease--the real problem:
man has a wicked heart. And all the good
intentions in the world cannot change one heart. Hearts must be
changed by the power of God. Only faith in Christ can make a man a new
creation--begin the transformation process in a human heart. And the
foolishness God uses to bring a man to Christ is the teaching of His
Word. Do you really care about those symptoms above? Then share the
foolishness of the Gospel with those around you. And those whom the
Spirit transforms will join you in treating the symptoms of man's wicked
heart--beginning with their own. It is only to the degree that God's
Word becomes active in His new creations--starting with me--that evil
can be defeated in any culture in any tangible, lasting way.
