Everything is Spiritual by Rob Bell

Rob Bell made the statement that man is a physical and spiritual being. This means that humans have spirituality, so they will constantly be searching for something to fill the God-shaped hole in their lives. God has both a physical form and a spiritual form, and humans have both. We, as creations, are hard-wired to search for the thing that created us, and only some of us find it. It is our job as Christians who have found our creator to pursue a life that is based on spiritual rewards, not rewards of the world. This is a huge struggle of mine because everything in the media speaks against that belief. The media tells people to gain worldly things, and to satisfy your needs immediately. The teachings of Jesus, however tell people to store up treasures in heaven, not on earth, and to be in the world, not of the world. This truth is forgotten among many teenagers such as myself, and will continue to be forgotten. We should remember it tho because God is almighty and He created the heavens and the earth and you and me. Who can argue with or disobey someone who created the universe? We are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God, and have all turned our backs on God or turned a blind eye to God as we knowingly sin. But we must remember that because we are spiritual beings as well as physical beings, we must live to satisfy our God who created us and everything else.
