My trust of humanity in general is normally garnered with an extra large dose of caution and sceptiscm. I mean, what the heck, it’s not exactly like we have the best track record. Even on numerous occasions when we have stepped up to bat and actually did the right and noble thing, our arm has been twisted and/or forced to stay aboard that sinking ship and give up our place on the life raft to someone else.
A mistrust of humanity is not necessarily a negative perspective. If anything, it’s probably the safest and healthiest view one can have… providing it doesn’t hold you back and keep you from helping those in need. Once again the best role model we can have is Christ. He was fully aware of how low we would sink and the atrocities we would commit against him and yet he still had the love and compassion to carry through and accomplish his incredible feat!
About the Composer
- tAaOS
- In those wee hours of the morning; in those quiet, private times spent with the Lord; in those times of prayer and faithfully studying His word; that was when the Alpha & Omega Suite came to it's composer. This didn't happen instantaneously, but slowly and consistently over the course of nine years, beginning in 2000 and going through 2008. Accuracy to God's Word was more important than finishing the Suite quickly, which is a process that flies in contrast with the way things are normally done in our throw-away, media-centered culture. But, when dealing with the concept of God, it's important that our proclamation is based upon what He has revealed of Himself and not on the imaginations of fallen humanity.
