Many have said in the ignorance of their human flesh and pride:

"So who is God that we, as His creation, should be mindful of Him?

Has not God, in His Wisdom, made us to dominate the earth?

We are Man!

We are Woman!

Isn't that enough?

Does not our lives belong to us?"

Though it is not commonly read, please allow me to share some beautiful passages from the Book of Sirach, chapter 17:

The Lord created man of the earth, and turned him into it again. He gave them few days, and a short time, and power also over the things therein. He endued them with strength by themselves, and made them according to his image, And put the fear of man upon all flesh, and gave him dominion over beasts and fowls. They received the use of the five operations of the Lord, and in the sixth place he imparted them understanding, and in the seventh speech, an interpreter of the cogitations thereof. Counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, ears, and a heart, gave he them to understand. Withal he filled them with the knowledge of understanding, and shewed them good and evil. He set his eye upon their hearts, that he might shew them the greatness of his works. He gave them to glory in his marvelous acts for ever, that they might declare his works with understanding. And the elect shall praise his holy name. Beside this he gave them knowledge, and the law of life for an heritage. He made an everlasting covenant with them, and shewed them his judgments. Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory, and their ears heard his glorious voice. And he said unto them, Beware of all unrighteousness; and he gave every man commandment concerning his neighbor. Their ways are ever before him, and shall not be hid from his eyes.
(Sirach 17:1-15)

We live in the year of our Lord, 2012. The world is in chaos as darkness spreads like a black cloud over the hearts of man. Homosexually is accepted, corruption is rampant, sexual lust is broadcasted over the media as if : "so what...so what else is new!", the marriage bed holds no honor and means nothing to those who occupy it; shall I go on?

The masses cover the earth with the mind set of indifference towards God...it is as if people believe: that to believe in God isn't "cool
