What's love got to do with it?

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." - Jesus (Revelation 22:13).

I love science!  I love witnessing how things act and interact with other things in the natural realm! 

I remember being taught in school the value of experimentation.  The one thing that I remember most is how important it was to have a "constant" - a "control" - by which to measure: to have something that could/would never change in order to compare every part of all my experiments by.  

I am saddened by the reality that, as the Evolution hypothesis has taken root in our education system, verifiable truth is no longer absolutely relevant to many people in our culture.  In that hypothesis, there really isn't any control, everything was, is, and always will be transient.  It is the foundational belief that whatever may be the "fittest" at any given time, should be the only thing that could "survive" (or could be the only thing that should "survive").  In that kind of environment, there can never be an absolute constant, because the "control" is what is reigning in the moment. 

I love the Word of God more and more every day!  And, I realize that this is due - in large part - to the failed experimentation in the world around me. 

In the above passage of Scripture, Jesus declares Himself the constant for all things and for all times.  John recorded (not only in Revelation, but also) in the Gospel which bears his name that Jesus said of Himself, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life... (John 14)".  It is by the Word of God that I confidently measure and compare how everyone/thing acts and interacts, not just in the natural realm, but also in the spiritual one.  In Him I "live and move and have [my] being (Acts 17)"; it is only by having His life as my source, that I can realize what He needs changing in order for Him to remain constantly in control. 

No part of life should ever be seen as any kind (or aspect) of an experiment - to see how fit any of us are at surviving - knowing only the kinds of lives each person is capable of on their own, or with a little help from others.  There are too many people who have gone through life believing that love can be found living like that.  The truth is that life should be known as the gift that it has always been - it is a relationship with the One who was, and is, and is to come - and true love can only be found within the boundaries of this relationship. 

I love being loved by the One who is Love!  This kind of love I can't keep to myself - I want VERY MUCH to help others also live this truthful, loving interaction with God that is both natural and spiritual!
