Hello. I have not posted on this blog for a while, mostly due to finishing school, increasing responsibilities (and responsible-ness) at work, and some technological difficulties. I’m back now, and maybe this blog/brain roll can take a consistent shape…I doubt it.

However, I have a concept to posit and figure this medium is as good as any.

Economics is the science of choice. Economists determine what resources, what commodities, what products are “better” and what are “worse” and, from that, determine their value. Several factors impact this determination, the most important to my topic are: Supply, Demand, Scarcity and Utility.

Simply defined they are: how much we can get (Supply), how much we want (Demand), how much we have (Scarcity) and how much we like it (Utility).

Get it? Yeah, me neither…but I get it enough to try and apply it to God. This idea came from a sermon about the Church, in which my Pastor was making the point that Christ is the whole satisfaction of the body. I was taking notes and my mind began to center on the concept of satisfaction, this is what I wrote:

“God is an infinite commodity. His worth does not depend on anything apart from Himself. In the human realm, everything is in an economy, where value is determined via comparison and utility. God being “given Glory” is in fact a continuous, infinite expansion of His revelation to a lesser being which has no choice but to explode in “enjoyment” or manifestation of that revelation of Himself. In Heaven we will be infinitely receiving revelation and responding to it, on Earth we truly worship, or give Glory, when we “experience”, “look at”, “receive” God into our being. That is our created purpose, to perpetuate the eternal knowledge and enjoyment of our Creator. All creation, both His chosen and the “rejectors” are revelations of Himself. We don’t give God Glory. God is Glory, we are demonstrations of that.”

Make sense? Haha, I’m sure you understand perfectly. I’ll leave it at this and if you have questions let me know, if they’re easy enough I might be able to answer them. ;)
