There are lots of different visions of what this world ought to be like. From reports in the media, most people want an iPod in every pocket. Some want a pistol in every pocket. Others want a roll of $20 bills. I’m a modest kind of fellow. Give me an uncomplicated cell phone for my pocket. It doesn’t need to southern fried preacher harold bales Redesign Your StaircaSe with Beautiful Iron Balusters take photos or provide games for my amusement. I just want to be able to call home in an emergency. Oh, and I’d like to have my Swiss Army knife in my pocket, too. The little scissors on the knife are handy. I also know a fair number of folk who would be grateful just to have a pocket. The more I think about it, the more attractive a simple kind of world is to me. I’ll call it a “Ten Commandments/ Beatitudes/Golden Rule” kind of world. There are 10 of them, these commandments. You can find them in two places in the Bible: Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. The first few commandments concern the relationship between God and human beings. I am a person of faith, so I am happy to begin my kind of world by honoring nothing more than the God who liberated the people of Israel from Egyptian slavery. I’m not interested in making any idols. I’m not going to use the name of the Lord in a trifling or vain way. And I think it is good to honor the Creator by resting one day out of seven. This is what one might expect from any self-respecting god. The rest of the commandments are very revealing about what the God of the Bible expects in His world. They concern relationships among human beings. These commandments instruct us to honor our parents. They prohibit murder, adultery, stealing, lying about our neighbors and, finally, coveting our neighbor’s wife and belongings. A non-religious person may argue against those God-related injunctions, but how can any decent, thinking person oppose these commandments that strike a blow for basic civilization It’s a beginning for the kind of world that I want to live in. The second list of foundational blocks for my world are the eight beatitudes of Jesus. They are found in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5. These assertions of Jesus are what St. Augustine calls the “ideal for every Christian life.” Those who are dispirited, mournful, meek, merciful, pure of heart, peacemakers or persecuted for righteousness’ sake, these are the blessed. Let me live in a world that values these traits and people. The Beatitudes also state the rewards of the life to come. This is pretty neat if you are interested in living in the kingdom of heaven. If you want to be comforted, here’s the way. If you want to inherit the earth or receive mercy, this is for you. Here’s how to be called a child of God. Finally, here’s a means for seeing God. I want a world in which I can learn how to be comfortable in an environment that God blesses. Finally, give me a world governed by the Golden Rule. Jesus put it this way: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” (Luke 6:31) It is sometimes called the “Ethic of Reciprocity.” This is the banner under which the quest for justice and human rights marches. Ah, if only the religious people whose faiths feature these commandments, beatitudes and this rule would temper their ideas and actions with what their scriptures teach them. What a wonderful world this would be! Reach Harold Bales through his Web site, www.southern-fried-preacher.com.
