What's Wrong With The World?
Finding "The Prodigal God" by Tim Keller (http://www.theprodigalgod.com/) to be a convicting and enjoyable read.
Keller writes the following on page 46:
"When a newspaper posed the question, 'What's Wrong With The World?' the Catholic thinker G.K. Chesterton reputedly wrote a brief letter in response: 'Dear Sirs: I am. Sincerely Yours, G.K. Chesterton.' That is the attitude of someone who has grasped the message of Jesus."
The same question is as relevant today as it was in Chesterton's day (circa early 1900's). I know that I am quick to point blame at Wall Street and Washington D.C., but I reflect on the fact that I have the same seeds of greed and power in my sinful nature. My sin nature is my both my most basic and my most devastating problem - and this problem is the same for all of mankind.
I am still reading the book, and can already see it and the Word of God reshaping the way I think about the prodigal son, his older brother and the father. Hope you take the opportunity to read it too.
