Society today

     We become so exhausted and rushed in our society today, we forget to slow down and thank the one who made us. We have been created in an image of a perfect being, not that we are made like him, but in the likeness of him. This means that we are not perfect as he is, but may strive toward that perfection. We can and are creative, have desires and are able to love. Man cannot evolve consciousness, although we do have a desire to seek something higher, man is not the ultimate authority and we tend to forget that. When we try to make God in our own likeness in our minds we forgot his true nature and authority. We can't help but to curse him when we are in trouble, and forget him in our times of plenty. He does not change, just because we change and our circumstances change does not mean that he does. Evolutionists try to explain away God with Christianity's "lack of proof" when in reality Christianity doesn't claim that we can "prove" God. However, atheists cannot prove their own THEORIES (not laws) and attempt to hold religion to the same standard, even though it does not claim it. This does not discredit creation theory, but weakens evolution's foundation. Once again though, we become so absorbed in culture and society that we tend to forgot our purpose and what brings true joy and peace. Knowing God, alone can give us such a sense of meaning. If this wasn't true, not that Christians don't sin or make mistakes, but even the people who reach near god-like positions in their own minds, such as professional athletes, artists, or politicians will not feel the hole inside their being filled with such vain pursuits. I cannot help but to think that we are eternally blessed every moment we take a breath and are allowed to exist in a universe where we can know our creator.

     Something to think about, if you ever met someone who was extremely famous, or had an untouchable amount of power would you not listen to their every word and attempt to learn all you can from them? How much greater is the one who gave knowledge and power to them.
-Be blessed.
