Tim2:8 (ESV) I desire then that in every place the men should pray,
lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;
NOTE: I recently
listened to a Ravi Zacharias (RZIM.org) message on "Secularization: Its
Control and Power," where he argues that one of the foundations of
civilization, charity, is being lost by today's political discourse. The
vitriol and anger, and lack of civilized discourse is so disheartening to
myself. We argue on the basis on emotion, yet think we are arguing on the basis
of reason. But our anger shows that we don't really want a reasoned or logical
discussion, rather, we want to tell the other person what he MUST believe. How
blind we are to our own religion-alization of our worldview. Why? Why must
another believe my worldview? And specifically, why does the world so hate a
belief in God or absolute truth? Has the good of diversity blinded us to the
fact that truth is not? I fear for us, and can only pray that we wake up before
we destroy ourselves.
