Too many Christians seem to reject all of the good things of this world as "vanity". Perhaps it's because the good things are as not as good as they should be or could have been. They are an impartial, imperfect facsimile of what is to come, and maybe this frustrates them and makes them hate these things.<BR/><BR/>The best visions of Christianity seem to involve a deep and more true appreciation for the material blessings of life: for art, music, human affection and friendship, nature, the talents of others and the gifts they bring to the world.<BR/><BR/>Instead of rejecting these things for their very real flaws and tossing them aside, we should see in them their future potential in a world that has been perfected.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387448864812957107noreply@blogger.com
