Man - Lost But Great.

From the biblical perspective, man is, at one and the same time, both lost and great.  He is a responsible human being, responsible primarily to God for all he is and does.  Because he is responsible, he effects history both positively and negatively.  He can make an enormous contribution to history because he is great.  That greatness can show it in actions that promote the greater good of society, or its downfall.  Man is responsible for sowing the seeds of new ideas and thoughts, and when these germinate and take hold and grow, they bring in change.  It may be a long time in the seeing, but it will come.

We are responsible, then, for what we sow. Is it good, or is it bad? What kind of seed thoughts are we sowing around us?
