Today started out strange.
I woke up at 7, hit the snooze button 3 times, and then took a shower.
When I got out of the shower it was already 7:45.
Why is that weird?
Well, my alarm first went off at 7:00 and the snooze button lasts 5 mins.
So, by the time I'm in the shower it is about 7:15 and i don't take 30 min showers in the morning.
Where did the time go?
I really don't know.
Or maybe I did take a 30 min shower.
...no way, that's not conceivable.
I guess the time just went down the drain.....
...of course, no pun intended.
Today is Wednesday.
School is being apathetic towards me.
The feelings mutual I guess.
One thing that I don't understand and probably will never understand is why people debate so feverishly about the possibilities of how God did this or how God did that or why do you believe this or why do you believe that. Yes, those issues are of somewhat importance, but if we were to get down to the centrality of importance there would be only one issue.
That is the importance of Jesus Christ in our life.
That's it. Period.
I'm not saying that people should not be interested in how God created the Earth or what the flood really means or if the Law is still important to us. I'm just stating that if we were to go back to the root of the issue. The root of all issues. Actually, the root of life, then we will see that all of the other issues are just periphery.
Yes, there is some value to gaining knowledge of the theological debates that are surfacing everywhere around us.
The importance can range from winning someone over to Christ (what does that really mean) by debating issue after issue or maybe strengthening your own faith by really grasping the magnitude of God or the fact that God is a personal God or any other ways that one's faith can be strengthened, but again I would like to stress this point, at what cost?
What is the point of all these things if we lose sight of the Gospel and how it shines through the darkness of our post-absolute truth society.
That is a whole other issue that I would like to get to.
What did Nietzsche say about God?
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed Him..."
How can someone kill God?
Well, we all know that a person cannot kill God.
What this is stating is that we(society) have killed God in our actions, lives, what we perceive as the Good and the Truth.
And we if read the Bible for all its worth we find that without God we are evil.
"All have sinned and fallen short..."
"The heart of man is evil.."
Over and over in the bible we see that there is Truth and our inability to get to it....
Without Christ.
