Why we are here:

Our signature Bible passage, the prologue to John's Gospel, tells us that Jesus (the Logos) is God and Creator and that He came in the flesh (sarx) to redeem His fallen, sin-cursed creation—and especially those He chose to believe in Him.

Here in Bios & Logos we have some fun examining small corners of the creation to show how great a Creator Jesus is—and our need for Him as Redeemer. Soli Deo Gloria.

A Sad Revelation

I shouldn't be shocked and I guess I am not, but merely disappointed. I recently stumbled upon a message board with posts by some of the last students I had before I retired. Most have just completed four years of very expensive higher education. Some are working; others seem to have not found jobs yet. Unfortunately, the board posts seem to reveal that those four years of "higher" education have transformed some of my favorite people into foul-mouthed, sex-crazed drunks. With the state of our culture today I shouldn't be surprised. Our culture is basically gone. I heard an interview with Tom Wolfe, the author of "I am Charlotte Simmons," the research for which he visited several well known colleges and blended in with the campus and social life. Apparently, the college experiences of my students were similar to those recounted by Wolfe. Shocking, no--disgusting, yes!
So what to do? Pray for these guys and gals, certainly. Contact and confront them directly? Maybe. Perhaps I should even post a message on that board (anonymously?) letting them know that someone who cares is watching--and that Someone is always watching. Refer them to Psalm 139. Perhaps one or more of them will be open to such a message. Much prayer is needed before I take action. More to follow.
