Cobb Ch 6
So much to respond to in this chapter….
In the paraphrased words of C.S. Lewis, there is a God shaped hole in each of us that only God can fill. That said, it doesn’t keep us from trying to fit other things in there. At the core of our beings there is a fundamental need for God, yet the consumer nature of our culture and the relative simplicity of our lives has left us turning to ‘law and order’ programing to contemplate moral issues, or looking at the fictional abilities of cyborgs as our next great hope. Among the greatest gifts that God has given us are conflict, death, and challenge. It is in interacting with these realities that we learn who we are and recognize our need for God. Our glorification of easy, fun, consumer lives has numbed us to that which truly makes us human.
