divine standards and worldly standards are galaxies apart. when worldly standards are drawn in comparison with divine standards, it's also time to question the intent behind it. it may have a good intent behind it, but often such standards could include the scum of the earth along with all the good qualities behind the intent. drawing such a parallel should be done with much caution and deliberation.

all that is on earth is created by God and therefore it is good, but when such good is being deprived from its original intent then it becomes no good; and it becomes bad. worldly standards of today lies in such paradox and it is almost easy to forget about the wholeness of its whole existence.

the new mega-churches of this day and age readily take on wealth, success and prosperity in their messages in attempt to spread salvation to the worldly crowd; how many have truly received salvation? it is in no doubt that all good things come from God, but worldly good things are short-lived and when its no longer good, after goodness is consumed from it.

the days' age is becoming darker and evil continues to deprive good from its goodness and salvation is relative instead of being absolute.
