Surface Scratches

The problem is not the government. The problem is not the structure. The problem is us. The problem is me. The solution is Christ in us. The solution is Christ transforming us. The solution is Christ transforming me. The solution is going from autonomous to co-laboring with Christ. It is not about the agenda of man, but God's agenda and His original purpose for what He created. What is freedom? What is "for the good of society"? What is "good"? No one is good but God alone. God's presence is for the good of society.

"Jesus replied, 'I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.'" John 8:34-36

The problem is not external. The problem is internal. Both external and internal are valuable, but one must be healed before the other can be healed.
