The author lays out a lot of good information here about the problems of our fallen world (which we all feel the weight of but sometimes can't identify), the "solutions" the world provides to cope with those problems, and ultimately presents the real solution which is to know who we belong to.

I think everyone (Christian or not) should read this, it's challenging and helpful.

"The spirit of the world demands action and plans and agendas and movements and cannot abide stillness. But faithfully doing the good that lies before us while waiting dependent upon God for redemption is the most meaningful action you can take."
