Oh the judgmental old ladies at the super market giving me dirty looks! "Look at that troublemaker!" I kind of want to glare back like... "Look at that baby boomer who let the economy go to crap and voted lunatics into government office. "

Christianity is the perfect binding of all great principles in the perfect amounts.

Before Jesus saved me, did I give a crap about the Bible? Nope. Some old book? Why would I? But once I was saved, I could not put it down. I was reading, listening, learning, studying, and it's still the same.. I can't put it down. It's such truth. It shines like a beacon above the din of lies, consumerism and foolishness that clouds the culture.

We know Christ Jesus was tempted in every way possible, and that he endured the pains of a human life without sin. This paid the debt that humanity incurred through it's endless disobedience of God. Our faiths will not be perfect, but let me encourage you to rise again when you fall. And if you can't seem to rise up out of the gloom in your head, or the mindset of sin going on, ask your loving Father for a hand up. We know he answers our prayers. Because he loves us truly.

Our material prosperity has lead many to walk away from God, hate God, mock God, and deny God's very exist. The result has been secular humanism, the idea of the superiority and flourishing of man, fueled by science, inherently quite useful, turned into a religion and worldview unto itself. The result of materialism and the glorification of man in his career and sexual prowess has led to spiritual bankruptcy, addiction, depression, and depravity of all kinds.

Materialism is possibly the most limiting and imprisoning of all philosophies I could imagine. Probably because I've experienced it first hand.
