I am not satisfied with material expressions of a divine order. I am not hoodwinked by cosmic forces as an conclusive explanation of existence. I do not believe that this world is only matter, and that this world consists of meaningless pursuits in a random chaos. Rain drops and tear drops are not random, I have no reason to think anything else is.
Evil is denying the loving purpose and nature of the Almighty God. Evil is forsaking sacrificial love for fleeting chemical stimulus of the temporal lobes. It is no wonder the apostles warned so readily against the passions of the flesh. Because the flesh represents this natural world with its lifelessness and meaninglessness, its conscious devoid of God. The flesh and material substance pail to the Spirit and the spiritual substance of the infinite personal wonderful creator. Therefore we are not satisfied by idols made by the hands and the minds of man, but are filled to pursue by the Spirit of the living God, his very being. We seek the I am, the all existent one, who by his existence gives life, and meaning and existence. No the flesh itself cannot satisfy the deepest longings of the human heart. Rather we present our bodies as a living sacrifice, sacrificing temporal human passions and deviations from His purpose and being transformed by His Spirit to conform to the purpose he has intended for us all along, which is to reflect His glory, in all of his righteousness as vessels of grace, temples pouring forth love and worship infinitely to him who gives life infinitely. Friends who is He? Whoever He is, I just know that He greater than I, and that now I am found in Him.
He is, Τὴν ἀρχὴν ὅ τι καὶ λαλῶ ὑμῖν. May we hear what he has been saying from the beginning.
"The Lord is in his Holy Temple; let all the Earth keep silent before him" - Habakkuk 2:20
