Humility for All

Each Christian has one real purpose in life, one simple purpose in life. This purpose is easily hidden within our loud, brash, neon bright, rain forest scented, Corinthian leather accented society of abortion, drug addiction, death penalty, child abuse, gun violence, and all consuming greed. The one real purpose challenges all this, all the chaos, all the mayhem, all the craziness that can be created and condoned within this crazy world filled with angst, anxiety, intolerance, hatred, bigotry, and fear.
Modern, capitalist society encourages each member of the society to make acquiring different items the purpose of life. The easier it is to be seen, the more this society can understand it. American society no longer values individualism, consumerism controls the cultural conscience. Humility is often viewed as an unwanted, uninvited guest only allowed to be seen occasionally and very briefly. Each American is encouraged to be a king, a superstar. Pop culture encourages each member of this society to behave with indifference to their neighbors, to question and challenge the faith of those members of society who do not believe exactly the same way, to challenge the faith and fidelity of those who do believe in God.

Believing in God is often not fashionable, barely tolerated. Believing in God opens Christians to ridicule.

Now is the time to find the confidence to be good. Now is the time to learn and to share the lessons of true, honest, loving humility. Now is the time for prayer. Now is the time to love God with the entirety of our lives. Each day presents opportunities for each of us to learn to do the right thing, to learn how to make the right decision, to love God. Now is the time to learn how to pray. Now is the time to learn how to speak in name of God, to speak only for the good of God. Now is the time to learn how to speak with love, humility, mercy.

Now is the time to accept and embrace the one real purpose that any Christian, any faithful, loving believer can have.
