Continuing to research and understand why recreational drug use can not coincide with a mature Christian life, we must understand what a mature Christian’s purpose is. There are many people who think that one can be a mature Christian and still be involved in earthly pleasures, but this false idea is disproven by 2 Timothy 2:4 when it states, “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” Through this statement,…
A struggle to extract a purpose to life in a hostile and unsympathetic environment raises the question: Is life created, accompanied by intrinsic meaning, or is meaning shaped by what one conceives of his or herself? Grendel was tormented by his inability to discover his purpose and by the hostility of his world. In the environment, the least consciously intelligent of animals are confined and limited by their instinctually bestial obstinacy. Grendel views them as a component of his hostile…
