“His secret, inner heart will become
known, and so he will bow down to the ground and worship God, declaring,
"God is truly among you!" (1 Corinthians 14:25)
When our genuine concern for another’s well being is no greater than the concern a virus has for us when we have by it been infected, then the egocentrism of humanism becomes clearly evident. If our agenda runs contrary to the Word of God and His love then our thinking will breed mischief. Oh, we will smile while we wield the weapons of our discontent. Nonetheless, by no fault of our own thanks to Adam, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34, Luke 6:45). A human being, like any other creature, will become extremely defensive seeking to kick, scratch, and claw his or her way out of the perceived corner of endless potential threats. Unfortunately, misperception developed as a survival mechanism over the course of enduring the hideous abuses indicative of mans total depravity can cause the wounded to then become the violator.
