All humans are designed with an innate desire to belong. The
fulfillment of this need creates a powerful force that draws us to one
another, impacting our ideas, behaviors, and beliefs. As we listen to
and obey God together, our instinctual draw to one another has the
potential become the catalyst for starting movements and transforming
lives. If the trajectory of our mission, goals, or motives becomes
skewed however, it can cause detrimental effects on the body. It seems
that a large majority of our culture is highly concerned with
maintaining relevance above other objectives that should take
priority. At the risk of diluting the power and substance of the
message we seek to convey, we will do what we can to reach one another
(waste) through conforming to the avenues of communication that
appease the general public. As a society, we have to progress
together, but there should be resistance when progression is based on
trends that deter from the original path that God intended for us to
sojourn together. Flirting with relevance is responsible and should
addressed so that our social and cultural awareness is maintained, but
becoming married to it is harmful. God's will is always relevant
because when we are obedient to him the great commission will be
fulfilled through hungry souls becoming satisfied. He is timeless.
