Tasler tWar Our Saviour Lutheran Church ,l " 1 Truth is reality. That which is false istfcreal. Superficially this should be ofrt'icus. The more clearly we see the '" vffSty oF the world, the better equip-we equip-we are to deal with it. &Or"view of the world is like a map with which we travel the terrain of life. II .the map is true and accurate, we '(wife generally know where we are. If iweteve decided where we want to go, weU Know how to get there. If the map is hhse or inaccurate, we will probably - TJns is something most people ' cbddse to ignore because the route to freahtyls not easy. We are not born with maps; we must make them. The mote effort we put forth in our map-, map-, , making, the more accurate they will The biggest problem of map-making, map-making, or seeking reality, is that if our maps are to be accurate, we must Continually be revising them. We, like the' world, are changing constantly. f- Our -point of view has been changing , smce we were born. As children we are ' dependent, powerless. As adults we may become powerful but an illness or ' few of job can render us dependant again. When we are poor, the world )ook different from when we are rich. . The process of revising our maps is oflfn-cxcrucitating painful and such pam avoided is another major source . of the ills of mankind. Many people often cling to an outmoded out-moded view of reality. To view our world as adults with the same perspective perspec-tive we did as children is inappropriate and ultimately destructive. We have grown up. Things are different now. Paul once said, "When I was a child, my thoughts, actions and views were , those of a child; now that I am a man, I have put aside childish ways." Sadly, Sad-ly, people often expend more energy in defending an outmoded view of life than would have been required to correct cor-rect it in the first place. Some things do not change. On my list of unchangeables are my predisposition to live separately from God, which I call Sin, God's forgiveness and acceptance of me anyway, which I call Grace, and the miraculous. Life itself is a miracle. To deny the reality of miracles, as is the scientific view of many, is both unreal and arrogant. ar-rogant. To accept the miracle of God's love for me contains the potential for life, temporarily and eternally. More often than we care to admit, a problem has been solved by a miraculous turn of events. God does His thing, and we become the benefactors. benefac-tors. There is nothing miraculous about my mistakes and separateness. , There is a great miracle contained in God helping me through a problem despite myself. IL..
