I. HOW SHOULD I THEN LIVE?

I will always appreciate this question coined by Frances Schaeffer.  I find myself asking it a lot these days, as things get so confusing and chaotic due to the arrogance and lawlessness of mankind.  After watching the Republican debate I realize that many of them speak words that speak my mind but they came to different conclusions and plans of action.

My question still remains, how much do I want to get involved in the political activities that are very much of this world’s philosophy no matter how much people try and bring religion into it.  The bottom line for me is that the world has no moral compass anymore.  It has not been true to one in the past but at least it acknowledged one and many tried to live by it.  That compass has been destroyed and the world is suffering the consequences.  But that is not new.  That has been going on since the beginning of time.  It is the hubris of humanity and the denial of a Deity that always ends in disaster.  In light of that, how should I then live?

In a world gone mad

Jesus came

To give true light

That we might be enlightened

To give true life

That we might live abundantly

To give knowledge

That we might live obediently.

He came in the flesh

But he lived in the Spirit

His flesh died

But his Spirit lived on

This world was not his home

And neither should it be mine.

I will not bow to anything

Of the world

I bow only to the King of Kings

And Lord of Lords.

I am to watch and wait

Live and love while I am here

But know that he is coming again

To take me home, to be with him

Forever.
