It’s been a while since I’ve posted a quote of the day… but I couldn’t pass this one up (from an excellent book I’m finally getting serious about reading).
Human history can be summarized as a desperate search for life. We look for it everywhere and in everything. We pursue wealth, power, success, pleasure, and endless experiences just to feel alive. Yet with all that we gain, there is always the inescapable stench of death all around us. Even if we gain the whole world, we die with our souls empty and hollow.
Ironically, what we are so often willing to sacrifice is the very thing most essential for life — God.
— Erwin McManus, from “Uprising: A Revolution of the Soul”
