Perfection and Purpose

Thursday, August 12, 2010

If perfection is the fulfillment of one's being, or purpose, then evil, or imperfection is the failure to fulfill such a purpose. Evil is considered to be a corruption of being, of the good.

It can be argued that God is perfect because God is 'being itself' and God is the one being incapable of this corruption, incabale f tending towards nom-being.

So I think God is perfect not because He has a particular purpose to fulfill, but because His existence cannot be corrupted like ours can, He is infinitely perfect.

However, a problem for me arises when God commtis an action. There can be no concept of perfection prior to God, so God's action mustn't adhere to perfection, it must define perfection. However, a perfect action stems from a perfect will, but how can a perfect will exists if there is no prior concept of perfection?

From what I understand, the response to this is that 'God is act', meaning that there is no distinction between God's act and will. God is changless, there is no movement from thought to act, no movement from potentiality to actuality, they are one.

Common People with Uncommon Goals

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

I am just a common, ordinary person with a goal and a vision. But just because I am common and ordinary does not mean that I am content to be average. I don't like that word. I don't want to be average. I don't intend to be average. I don't serve an average God, therefore, I don't believe I have to be average and neither do you.

Average is basically OK. It is not bad, but it is also not excellent. It is just good enough to get by, and I don't think that is what God wants us to be. I believe that any common, ordinary, everyday person can be mightily used by God. I believe that we can do great and mighty things, things that will amaze even us, if we believe that God can use us and if we will be daring enough to have an uncommon goal and vision. And what I mean by uncommon is something that doesn't make sense to the mind. We have to believe God for it.

God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all that we could dare to hope, ask, or think, according to His great power that is at work in us. God does it through us according to His power, but it is done through us, so we have to cooperate. That means we need to be daring in our faith and in our prayers. Some of us are not believing for enough. We need to stretch our faith into new realms. We need to be uncommon people with uncommon goals.
