Let’s take another desire – why does a man long for a battle to fight? Because when we enter the story in Genesis, we step into a world at war. Are we willing to live with the level of risk God invites us to? Something inside us hesitates. But it’s going to take risk, and danger, and there’s the catch. That’s what you’re here for.Įxplore, build, conquer – you don’t have to tell a boy to do those things for the simple reason that it is his purpose. The secret longing of your heart, whether it’s to build a boat and sail it, to write a symphony and play it, to plant a field and care for it – those are the things you were made to do. Explore it, cultivate it, care for it – it is your kingdom.” Whoa… talk about an invitation. Why does God create Adam? What is a man for?Īdam and all his sons after him are given an incredible mission: rule and subdue, be fruitful and multiply. Why don’t men play the man? Why don’t they offer their strength to a world desperately in need of it?įor two simple reasons: we doubt very much that we have any real strength to offer, and we’re pretty certain that if we did offer what we have it wouldn’t be enough.
