Our Confused World

Our Confused World

We live in a confused world.

The orderly neighborhoods in which we grew up have given way to instant communication that brings events to us as they happen. We have little time for processing the information available to us because there's so much of it and because our point of reference for a lot of it is so limited.

We are grieved to see the number of young people -- our hope for the future -- who have fallen into a pit of confused and ruthless behaviors toward their fellow man.

We anguish at the statistics regarding drug use and abuse that has snared the up-coming generation into a world of dependency.

We lament the advances being made in AI ... where once the great strides in technology assured the hope of a better life for our children and their children, the giant steps of artificial intelligence seem to assure that our progeny will not be able to move forward as previous generations did.

We stand in incredulity when we see a media that is rabid in its disdain for our duly-elected leadership and is complicit in advancing the agenda of a stealthily-growing shadow government.

We flip the pages of modern textbooks in abject disbelief when we read of the denigration of the faith of our founding fathers and the promotion of a belief system that has enslaved the minds and lives of the people under its yoke for generations.

Is there peace for our confusion?

Is there joy for our sadness?

Is there hope for our weary hearts?

If these precious commodities exist, we know they do not exist within ourselves. If they can be obtained, it will not be through our own effort.

The circumstances of our lives, the hopelessness of our world cannot be dispelled through human effort.

Our government cannot save us.

Our good intentions cannot save us.

Our human efforts cannot save us.

More than ever, if we are to have a future and a hope, we must have CHRIST!
