The world we live in,I come from Ireland,a land of the little people,of fairies,lets get real,one of my favourite movies is' ,The quite man', I've watched it many time,it depicts an Ireland that's not real.The history of Ireland is one of oppression of the poor, of division, violence. Oh yes there are many good things,but its not that little bit of heaven that fell from the sky one day,as an old Irish song puts it.Lets not look at the world and think that it will be an earthly paradise,it is a fallen world,how serious is it?,very, God's answer is Calvary,yes the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,that's God's answer,for you and me.Leon Morris writes, 'Believers must live in this world, not an imaginary world of their own choosing,they must not expect to live in a world that understands them and welcomes their witness'. We are to be lights in the darkness,salt in the corruptness,messengers of hope,as we point sinners to Christ,and in doing so remember to be faithful in spite of the cost.
