Here is nothing...
So I haven't posted in a little while, but I have come to some conclusions about life. People are messed up. People are so messed up that we ignore the solutions to conflicts. I hate conflicts, recently, I have been exposed to what would seem to be conflicts of race. I have come to conclude that ignorance breeds racism. When a person is ignorant of another is the precise time that this same ignorant person can dehumanize someone who is ostensibly different. Education fights ignorance. Education fights against racism. Education fights against poverty. Education fights and generally wins. I have not enough thoughts on this issue to relate it well to the church, but I would say that the church right now has tended to forget education in areas other than the Bible. We teach the Bible, and that is about it. It would seem that we Westerners have created a dichotomy between the Physical and the Spiritual. This dichotomy neglects the interconnected relationship that both the physical and the Spiritual share. So teach people how to read, teach them about Jesus, teach them how to live healthy, teach them about the Spirit, teach them the Gospel. Give people the good news that is for the whole person, not just his spirit. Jesus came bringing life to the full, is that what his church is giving?
