Not everyone wants to change. As Alfred tells us in The Dark Knight, “some

people just want to watch the world burn.” Paul tells the church in

Philippi “those people live as enemies of the cross of Christ, and their

end is destruction; their god is the belly; their glory is in their shame.”

This Lenten season, we need to reflect deeply on whether or not we’re

willing to return from our wayward selves. If we don’t, we’ll continue to

live in shame.
