In the realm of ideas I recently heard Dr. Perry Downs of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School comment on the role of The Moody Bible Institute, my employer. He mentioned that in the arena of bible colleges Moody is becoming increasingly Sui Generis. One of a kind. Such a notion creates an intersing thought. One that I hope to water. God created each of us in such a way that indeed we are one of a kind. This idea is especially real to me in as much as my son Elias, is of my wife and I . God in His infinite wisdom created him uniquely. Such an idea should increase the worth and value of every human being, however sadly with such a lack of dignity given to the individual it is no surprise that life appears to be an obstruction to those who wish ill upon their fellow human. Not to be morbid. This idea of uniqueness creates wonderful inroads to the idea of bearing the image of God. Indeed if God intended everyone to be the same look the same sound the same he'd of created a carbon copy of robots. So grateful He made me in his image. Gen 1:26. This image is always being renewed each time I realize Jesus came to repair what was broken from the fall in my life.
