The Two Causalities Of Western Individualism – Sexual Intimacy – Church Life

When it comes to rugged American individualism, some say it has been a virtue. I disagree. In my opinion, it has been a major vice in regards to two of the most important realities that the Lord has given us as a statement about Himself.

The Next Human will have already transcended the realm of suffering. But in order to get there, suffering is necessary to force you within. When you suffer, the self becomes diminished.
