It is hard to put your finger on all that is wrong.  

One might say that:  

  • We have knowledge … but not wisdom
  • We have materials … but that our souls are empty
  • We have life saving abilities … but we do not live

But our biggest problem is best described as the following:

  • Our engineers can design, and construct, incredible machines that do more than we ever thought possible.
  • Our doctors can cure diseases that we once thought insurmountable.
  • Our politicians can gather thousands at rallies that make crowds go crazy and chant, altogether, cheers in unison……and so can our athletes.

Yet none of these are Gods, nor can they ever fill that role.  And though they might act like gods, and though we might exalt them as gods, we stare in utter disbelief when they reveal their true nature…and we wonder what happened.

What has happened is that we make others, or ourselves, fill a role that we can never succeed at.

Jesus is the only one worthy of praise and adoration and focus and surrender … and yet we are innately gifted at forgetting this one thing.

And it is Our Biggest Problem.

Revelation 4 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:  

11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
    to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
    and by your will they were created
    and have their being.”

God is our God.  And He will always be our God.  And He will always be the ONE THING that we truly need.

And this will never, ever, change.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
