Natural Dysfunction
Filed Under Devotional
Our society is very good at ignoring a crisis. In fact, we have turned many societal crises into entertainment. These are otherwise known as reality shows. Some are based in reality: cop shows, intervention shows, disaster shows, etc. while others that are called reality have very little to do with anything I know as real, except that unrighteousness is real.
“I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.” Romans 6:19
Dysfunction ain’t right. To do right is to function! The question is why does it seem to be easier to not function and to give in to malice, hurtfulness, and gossip? It’s because it’s the natural—meaning worldly—thing to do.
