We weren’t made for the world we live in.
We weren’t made for a Box-and-Line (Note 8) world. Yet we have to look around us and accept that the entire world is increasingly box-and-line. We weren’t made for job titles, careers in corporations, certifications, accreditation, employee handbooks, roles in organizations or political parties, to name a few. Somehow, we have bought into the lie we have been sold, that our lives should fit into a massive network of systems we call the modern world. It is built around a way of thinking that is antithetical to the way of life we were created for. We can still live in this modern world, but we need to learn to live from a different way of thinking. We were made to live daily from the reality of who God is and who He created us to be. From that place, we can be in any system without being fully a part of it, without adopting its way of thinking.
