THE TRULY GOOD LIFE (Letter to Dom Post, Feb 13)


The answer to the problem of The good life versus sustainability (February 12) has been staring us in the face all along. That is, in the face of people who read the Bible.

Because Jesus Christ says “if any man is to follow me, let him deny himself.”

Denying oneself means, in this context, consuming only as much in terms of food, clothing and energy as it takes to stay healthy. If we do that for the love of God we discover the truly 'good life’ we all crave.

It’s so simple, it’s hard for people - especially the media - to get their collective head around.

But if we’d stayed with the Bible we wouldn’t be in the mess we are now.
