Our society

I have carefully monitored my own reaction to Western Society.  Sometimes I’m happy that individuals have so many freedoms.  Other times I’m saddened that we can’t work corporately together because of our own selfishness.

I was listening to a webinar on preaching story.  One thought was to refrain as much as possible from giving dry boring application.  Let each person find their own interpretation.  Jesus talked in parables (stories) – a good approach.  But for those who were close followers he carefully explained stories.

I wonder if we love the idea of making up our own truth derived from stories.  Does that exercise become “doing whatever is right in our own eyes”?  How do we rein in individual interpretations for the sake of the group?  And who provides the clear “laws” to be followed?
