I was just trying to solicit commenter's thoughts on the reason why people seek to find and live to the beat of their own drum and is it truly "their" drum or the cultures. In evangelism, and as your article brings out clearly, these questions and dialogue are real and live issues that people are confused by in this society. It is great that you are bringing this to light today. Thank you for pointing to Jesus. Sorry for any mis-understanding.

Maybe a results of seeking and not finding preceived and/or actual needs in life. Without the Lord, we will blindly search for significance, love and acceptance will not be falsely filled with empty, temporal distractions and pleasures with no lasting satifaction and eternal consequences. <br /><br />God did make each of us uniquely different. Different minds, abilities, gifts, hair and eye color, et cetera for a good purpose and we need to discover "who we are" in the context of who He created us to be in this world. The Bible tells us too that we are to have love, joy, and peace from the Spirit as we walk this life found by walking to the beat of Jesus' drum (aligning our mind, will and emotion to His holy will and way). We are here for an awesome reason and purpose; His good reason and reason for us, because God is love. He put us here; in this world, but not of this world, as a child of God, living the abundant life, lead by the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior of the world. <br /><br />Thanks again for the thought proking and self-searching post.Brian Ray Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242157834688837290noreply@blogger.com
