I've been thinking a lot about Owen Barfield's "Saving the Appearances," in which he considers how to replace man into a creative stance toward the world. Your article added the dimension of the alternative: man's creative interaction with reality brought into inversion and destruction of the world. So much to think about here....

Hi Charlotte. thanks for the comment. I wasn't aware of Barfield's piece, but I'll have to look it up. As I read history, there seems to be a tug of war between man's creative and destructive interaction with the world. I'm not sure which is winning! But you and I choose the creative., and that adds weight to the better side of the balance for sure. Peace! PD

Babylon is Fallen

1And after these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power: and the earth was enlightened with his glory. 2And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen; and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every unclean spirit, and the hold of every unclean and hateful bird: 3Because all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth have been made rich by the power of her delicacies.

Living Sacrifices

(1 Corinthians 3:16-18; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20)

1I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing unto God, your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world; but be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect will of God.
