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 2020 and beyond:
Father-in-heaven 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 should 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.
Liveitwell!
