If you think about it, we grow up in a society where we are not taught to think for ourselves. We go to school, and we learn quickly that what the teachers want us to do is to regurgitate what they tell us.<BR/><BR/>We go to work and we do nothing unless it is what our bosses tell us to do.<BR/><BR/>We are a society of followers and very few leaders. I'm not at all surprised that few people are taking the initiative to learn on their own.Jadiehttp://www.thedoubtingchristian.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253529165034405240.post-73240974558887219032008-01-24T11:29:00.000-05:002008-01-24T11:29:00.000-05:00Isaiah 1:19 says "If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;".<BR/><BR/>So, if we're not willing and obedient, we don't get to eat of the good of the land. We get hungry, and we complain "I'm not getting fed" because its easier to blame someone else for our problems.Ken Rowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02740427410810311883noreply@blogger.com
