getting caught up

The world has nothing to offer. I think that many theorists in the sociological realm have come across this conclusion at some point or another, and who's to say that they have not stumbled across some truth? Karl Marx's theory of capitalism is probably the most close to the bible theory of the end times. 1 John claims the world and its desires pass away. Marx is almost always saying the same thing. There is an innate behavior to act human and in our westernized society today we lack humanness. Modernity. Marx said there are positives but modernity loses aspects of life that are real -an overarching negative. If you think about it, work becomes more important than family. Driving becomes more efficient than walking. Emailing is more efficient that writing. The list really does go on forever. So if we are in a society where modernity is inevitable and humanness is desired, how do we achieve simplicity? How do we achieve anything significant or tangible in this life? The end of that verse in 1 John says but the man who does the will of God will live forever. Grace be to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ who turns the old into new and renews a life. He who offers eternity in a world that is fading away.
