Derailed Destiny!

We live in a day and age where technological and biological advances have far surpassed what the last generation could ever imagine. Man's dream to reach the unreachable doesn't sound far fetched these days. Smarter phones, faster cars, younger bodies...name it, we got it! Almost sounds perfect, doesn't it? But it is also a very scary age where man has so much power in his hands, but lacks the moral and ethical benchmarks that aid in the use of this power. Somewhere along the way man has lost the underpinning doctrine of where he comes from. We have conveniently overlooked the fact that we are fearfully and wonderfully made by a wise and loving creator. Humanity has raised to so much power, that killing babies in the womb and puling the plug on a person in coma is not only legal, but also inexpensive. We have lost the purpose for which we were created! Derailed Destiny!

I heard in church this week that one of the primary reasons for divorce these days is the "Lack of Passion". Man is so obsessed with "I" and "Me" that he has lost the passion to live life but rather exists for the next best thing to boast about. How sad? "Content" has become a very relative word. In our pursuit of a better lifestyle we have lost our identity and most of all our destiny. The Bible says,

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way;

Yes sir! We are a fallen generation with a lost purpose and a Derailed Destiny! So what do we do? Is there hope at all? Of course there is! First, a solid understanding of the creation theology is necessary for thinking about moral issues today. We need to fully understand the extent of God's handiwork when he created mankind and the environment to support it. The Bible says that man was created in the image of God and to cultivate and keep the land given. (Genesis), but we have done a darn good job of demeaning ourselves and destroying that which God gave for us to keep and safeguard. So understand your Divine Dignity and Designed Duty!

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

And because our Father in heaven sent his only Son to die for us all, we have a "Derived Destiny".

For God so loved the world, that HE sent HIS only SON , that whoever believes in HIM will have an everlasting life.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.

That's it! That is all we need to do, to resurrect our Derailed Destiny! Understand where you come from, your purpose here and where you are going! Think about it!!

Peace!
