What is wrong with the world?<\/span><\/em> $\"CK2$ <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Since our earliest ancestors, we have loved created things more than the Creator. We forsake our Father for food, face, and fortune. Although humans were created to reflect God\u2019s glory, they have dishonored<\/em><\/span> God\u2019s name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because people have lost face before their Father and King, humans are alienated from God and one another. Shame<\/span><\/em> stains the human family. Human rebellion brings about the curse of discord and death. People owe God their life.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fear, people seek face, hoping to find security and joy. We trust in ourselves and our relationships rather than our Father. We misuse relationships for personal gain.<\/span><\/p>\n

The King\u2019s family has betrayed Him. They choose to set up rival factions and occupy his kingdom. When people violate and offend the king, they commit what is called \u201csin<\/em><\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
