On Sunday, I preached from Genesis 6. Although this passage is famous because of its reference to the NEPHILIM, I am not mentioning them here. They aren't really the point, so I won't really use up the bandwidth.
Some Christian beliefs do not make sense to the world. The resurrection is our central truth.
Everything that looks good is not good for you.
You do not need to take everything you want.
Satan's plan is always to counterfeit and corrupt God's good creation.
God's people are to live in the world but look different from the world so that they can influence the world for good.
God's people are to influence the world, but not to partner with the world.
Everyone wants to live in a world where evil is judged justly.
God's judgment of evil is also usually the preservation of His plan and protection for His people.
If the focus of your life is the evil of the world, you will either wallow in despair or well up with pride.
If the focus of your life is the goodness of God, you will experience the peace, contentment, and joy He offers.
