You may be familiar with the list of 7 Modern Sns--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 2018 and beyond:
Father create in us a hunger for what is righteous 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 clarity to "Do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God" (Micah 6.8) through Jesus Messiah, let it be.
Life is fast.
Live it well...M6.8 bN
