An age that can not acknowledge Truth

We are in such a conceded age. The people of power in our age make no bones about showing that they place power and money above all other things. We live in an age that is marked by worship of "a god of forces", the power of economic might and the infallibility of those in power. Yet as I look I see the power they think they have built on such imaginary foundations to see they must be delusional. The foolish builders who have no foundation but that of sand, building in flood plain so they will be near the river.

Lord God, your judgement comes soon as it is written that "...in the last days, People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather then lovers of God - having a form of godliness but denying its power." (2Tim3:1-5)

These are dark days for our world, in the economic, political and religious realms we look to money and power, not to the needs and God, the fulfiller of needs.

A superficial god

I seems to me, that when men hear we are made in the image of God they assume God is like them. But how can that be true? Image, when use with reference to a person often refers to either a reflection, photograph or hologram. These images do not interact, They lack depth and are very superficial. The image gives you just an appearance at a certain time and nothing more. Extending this thought we were given qualities at creation that are like God's, write very small, and very two dimensional and superficial (for lack of a better word) when compared to our creator and when we try to fit God in our image we have created an idol, a false god.

Yes we are made in the image of God, but He is not in our image. We are designed to learn and grow and we can strive to become more like Him, but we can never achieve His loftiness of being for we are only an image.
