FAITH,
DISTORTION OF
WHEN you place a spoon in a glass of water that’s only two-thirds full, it appears that the spoon is bent or broken. This is called refraction. We know that the spoon is neither bent nor broken, it simply looks that way because of the light. As the light passes through the water, a distortion is created.
The world in which we are now living has created a refraction. It has created a distorted view of life, so that people are looking at life and living life in a way that the secular culture has defined it, actually creating a refracted view of reality. In fact, if you look at the world order closely, it will make you think your faith is broken. But it is not that your faith is broken, it is the distorted view of this world order being applied to your faith.280
