World's Greatest Problem

by: Jordan Vetro

This week's question was more of a serious nature: What is the greatest problem in our world today?


The greatest problem in our world today is ignorance.
--Bethany Michaelis



The greatest problem, perhaps not in the world, but in our society, is abundance. The illusion that in North America we have so much, or large quantities. That multiplicity expands meaning. Once explored, this collapses in on us like slipping on a giant Jello mold and we're swallowed. This consummation will spread all over the world as we desire more.
--Curtis Healy


Materialism
--Katelyn Unger


Western Society has socialized us to reject help from others by tricking us to think we can make everything better on our own. This suggests two problems. One: we feel no need to work hard towards or think about a relationship with the One who does the renewing. Two: by not accepting help, we are very stingy in giving it.
--Mark McDermott


The greatest problem in our world today is a lack of a desire for understanding.
--Stephen Paul Weber


The greatest problem in our world today is poverty, homelessness and hopelessness.
--Natasha Dickson-Wolter


The church's poor job of evangelism, which ends up more like self-promotion
--Terry Ibele


Sin
