Everything is up for interpretation and personal analysis. We have been robbed of absolutes and the Kingdom of God has suffered because of it. There is nothing more relevant than the Advent. Nothing more relevant than the God who takes away sin and transforms lives. Lessons on how to live happy and wealthy lack the life changing power of the Gospel yet the church has been taught to settle for that. Maranatha!
