"The Devil Made Me Do It" - Rethinking Evil and Sin
(Week 2) The World: Not What It Seems
Question: Why is my world so different from theirs?
Scripture: Psalm 8: 4-9
"When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and stars that you set in place—
What are we that you are mindful of us,
and our families that you care for us?
Yet you have made us little less than gods,
crowned us with glory and honor.
You have given us rule over the works of your hands,
put all things at our feet:
All sheep and oxen,
even the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air, the fish of the sea,
and whatever swims the paths of the seas."
Description:
The world as we understand it is a confusing place, full of conflicting ideas, values, and even realities. It's a dog-eat-dog, survival-of-the-fittest world. We don't seem to be able to agree on anything. We all have our own conflicting opinions. Is there any such thing as "truth?"
