Many people feel lost today. This is reflected in our culture — art,
poetry, books, magazines, music, movies, T. V. Shows. In a time when we
think we have more control we are finding most of life is out our
control (example - recent disasters, terror attacks). People are doing
their best to feel at home in this world. Everything centers around
self. The natural inclination of the unsaved heart is to think the
universe revolves around us. To think this way is spiritually insane.
We refuse to believe we should live for something more than this
present life. We treat this world as if it were the only home we will
ever have. We concentrate on arranging it for our comfort.
We find
ourselves in a age of nuclear threats, torture, oppression, terrorism,
brainwashing, and natural disasters. We expected life to be friendly
instead it mocks our hopes leaving us frustrated and disillusioned. We
thought we were wise instead we’re like children lost in the dark we
ask, “Is there a plan?”, “What’s the point of this life?” God’s world is
never friendly to those who forget its maker. God alone made life and
only God can tell us it’s meaning. If we want to make sense of life in
this world we must know God. And if we want to know God we must turn to
the Bible.
