Travel Lessons
I've seen many things that brought tears to my eyes on this trip. Mountains and valleys and stars and moons and forests and jungles. I've felt so many warm handshakes; had so many hearty laughs; and seen the faces of so many children whose smiles were so big that they threatened to engulf me. It is indeed a beautiful world. But I've seen other things too, scenes of paramount ugliness: a sea of pagan idolatry, teenage prostitution, government corruption, torture of the innocent, genocide, men worshipping evil spirits, self mutilation, instutionalised atheism, pluralistic relativism and pleasure seeking pantheism. What a crazy world it has become. This trip has certainly confirmed for me the Bible's teaching on man - that he is both the glory of God's creation and its biggest shame. God made us wonderful but sin has made us capable of infinite evil. Yes it's true: we are sinners - you and me, and we need the forgiveness of God. That's why Jesus came into this wonderful but broken world. If you are living a Godless life, there's no need to go on like that. Turn away from sin; put your faith in Jesus Christ and He will forgive you. Do it today, while the Lord may be found.
