How Do You See Life?

This ad is a wonderful example of how I tend to see life. I look for what I want to look for, and I ignore what I want to ignore. Just look at this ad, what we see as happy, is grotesque when turned upside down. This is no different then my daily life. Without a guide I have no idea what I am looking at, what seems good is really bad. But with God I can learn what is pure and right. Just read Romans 12: 2.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

We cannot look to the media, and that means Fox news just as much as CNN, for how we should live. We cannot look to politicians, and that means both Red and Blue, for what laws we need to pass. And we cannot even look to our own heart, because it can deceive us. What we need is the word of God. That will transform us, that will allow us to see what is truly good and acceptable and perfect.

Disclaimer: This post is not meant to be about President Obama. So please to not use this as an opportunity to either praise or tear him down. Instead do what the bible says later in Romans, and in 1 Timothy.
