Our Hearts are Restless

The outcome of all human living and thinking depends upon what we make of the first three chapters of the book of Genesis. I say this not to astonish nor for the sake of novelty, but because to miss the implications of these chapters will, in the end, make all the difference between the Kingdom of God and the kind of world we make. These chapters tell a story, and through that story is revealed the agonizing discovery of our human freedom – our freedom to choose between good and evil, and not only freedom to choose, but the imperative laid upon us to choose the good daily, or inevitably fall into evil.
