Four Key Questions

There are four key questions to ask and answer:

Who am I?
Why am I here?
What is wrong with the world?
How can what is wrong be made right?

Secular post-modern thinking says, in summary:

You are a product of accidental forces with no meaning.
You have no particular reason to exist.
Other people and situations are wrong, based on culturally-negotiated standards.
Righting wrongs requires more education and more governance.

Christian responses are:
You were made by Jesus Christ, who created all things in heaven and earth.
You exist to glorify Jesus.
You are what's wrong, because of sin.
Jesus had made a way to be restored in right relationship with God, with yourself, with others, and with the physical world.
