The first house Carla and I bought was a trilevel. Only two of the three floors were completed, and we decided to finish the third floor ourselves, creating a family room, office, and second bathroom.
I had worked with carpentry, wiring, and plumbing before. But I had never done drywall. I figured the drywall mud would be easy to sand down, so after hanging sheetrock, I caked on mud like a teenage boy piles his plate at an all-you-can-eat buffet. And I went back for seconds.
Alas. It took us more time to sand off that surplus mud than it took me to frame in and wire three rooms and to plumb the bathroom. Carla and I spent scores of hours of bored agony, sanding, wet-sponging, power-sanding, and bathing off our layers of dust.
The history of the world is the long story of bad answers: I had thought mudding was the easy part.
The Christian world has become flooded with worldly answers to life’s problems. Jesus came to save us from the world and sin, but there is enormous pressure to adopt worldly answers that promise life but result in death; they have “eyes that do not see and ears to do not hear.”
God’s answers always birth a new life unlike the world’s.
