"Have it Your Way" 'Christianity' for Today - E-book - ePub

Ours is a world, especially in the west, where its participants have long been endowed with every expectation that they can be whatever it is they want to be, do whatsoever they want to do, have whatever they want to have whenever they choose to have it, they can believe whatever they want to believe having been assured that they have made it to 3rd base when all along they were born there.  This machination has moved volition to a new longitude exponentially expanding its intended even realistic scope and breadth.  Those who propagate this concept do so without ever having to fuss with either quantifying or acknowledging the greater world around us which so inconveniently weighs into our reality.  This aberration has leeched itself into the western evangelical creating a visible irony of those in the 'church' living out the 'have it your way' doctrine in what could be in greater part a military state.  We want what we want minus the pain.  Pain even suffering live on a longitude of physicality even emotion.  In the broader sense, pain and suffering are those things that we don't get and we desperately want, or those things that we do get and we desperately don't want some of which, possibly most of which of which, are in varying degrees self-authored and all of which are couched in the notion of fairness or justice however fraudulent an aberration it may be, in which the greater the injustice the more likely there is an absence of a perpetrator.
