Have we lost sight of what is good?
Pastor Peter this Sunday said when you ask Christians in America if they're excited to for Jesus to come back,t he response is lackadaisical.
"I kind of want to get married first..."
Yet in poor and suffering countries, the people there take the gospel as SUCH good news, and look longingly towards the day of His return. "TODAY, Jesus...TODAY!" they say.
My parents combined salary is over six figures, I am in the top 1% of the wealthiest people in the world. And I keep wanting to get higher and higher, maybe the top 0.1% will satisfy me. Maybe.
But what is wealth when death comes along? What is wealth when questions of existence comes?
Saw a paralytic (a student, I suppose) getting fed in Sargent dining hall by his helper. Int hat moment, I thought...how blessed am I to be able to just sit here and eat independently.
I have lost sight of what is good.
