You may be familiar with the list of 7 modern sins--or not; the conditions it describes are infamously familiar to us all:
- Wealth without work
- Industry without morality
- Worship without sacrifice
- Politics without principles
- Science without humanity
- Knowledge without character
- Pleasure without conscience...
My prayer for 2016 and beyond:
"Father create in us a hunger for what is right and just. Help us to understand that...
- ...Wealth driven by lust for money is evil and work is an honorable endeavor that gives us meaning and purpose.
- ...Industry must produce access to opportunity for all.
- ...Worship demands a values-centered life and requires sacrifice.
- ...Politics is the business of the people and is a noble and self-sacrificing life-call.
- ...Science can create in us a deeper spiritual hunger.
- ...Knowledge is a path to humility.
- ...Pleasure is the by-product of good character.
May we be given the clarity to "Do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God."
