       The call to us today isn’t so much to go out of life—to go out of the world. Or to check out. To become a monk in a monastery. That might be peaceful, and we might be really close to God (or perhaps not), but that’s not practical for us. We have to live out our daily lives—to live in the positions God has placed us in. That’s the way it works, and that’s even what God intends. The call to us today seems more focused on a particular quality that we bring to our life experience. It’s living out the same experience as we would of lived out but with a different focus. It’s having God in perspective. That’s what our enlightenment in coming to know God has done in the first place, in becoming a Christian. It has brought into raw form that which is the reality of the state of the world, that our fleshy bodies are affected by sin. That sin reigns in the world. That other people, besides ourselves, need to come to know this God. That there is this being named Satan, and he reaps havoc on the world.
