Sin

When I think of God I see a perfect being. When I think about what is perfect, I see God. God by definition is perfect. That's who he is. When I think of sin and the nature of it, I see imperfection. Sin can be great or small but the size doesn't really matter because that which is perfect cannot join together with the imperfect. That is why sin, by its very nature separates us from God. The perfect cannot take in any imperfection. The perfect will become imperfect the moment it receives imperfection even of the smallest degree possible. The blood of Christ is a covering for sin. The blood of Christ is perfect. He was without sin. So it's like all our imperfections are covered up by the perfect blood of Jesus Christ. That's how it works for a Christian. That's how we are able to come in union with the perfect God. That's also the reason why anyone who is without Christ cannot be with God.

Evolution

Driving around the streets of Doha, my attention is drawn to the many shapes and types of side mirrors of cars. Some are big some are small, some are round and some are square. Others have light in them and others have that classic look. They're all the same and yet they're all different with countless variations. And then a funny thought comes...This is evolution! Could all these cars have evolved by their own? Have they formed themselves into these many variations? It's funny because if I assume I didn't know anything about how cars are designed and manufactured, it is possible to conclude that cars do evolve. But that's just a silly thought. We all know that car manufacturers make their cars exactly how they intend them to be.
