Why You Long to Be Fascinated

 “Your eyes will see the King in His beauty…” (Isa. 33:17)
There is a craving in your spirit to marvel and be awestruck, to be filled with wonder. God made you that way. Unfortunately, the same longings of our souls are the root of our addictions.

What’s more, the entertainment and advertisement industry understands our cravings (and profits from them). They prey on our ‘emotional’ shopping behaviors and cash on our hunger for fascinating stories. Have doubts? Think about your favorite form of entertainment and ask: Why is it so attractive and appealing? What’s the emotional reward of the exchange? And why at times I find myself over doing it?
The reason we get drunk with entertainment is rather simple: we have a profound need for mental engagement. We need to engage and be engaged, we hunger for new discoveries and fresh encounters—it is how we are wired.

When God reveals God to the human spirit we experience “divine entertainment” at its highest.
That’s why David wrote:“One thing I desired…all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD.” (Ps. 27:4) His heart was preoccupied with God while his hands were occupied with leading Israel.
Without having a sense of awe, you will live aimlessly and in boredom. A spiritually bored believer is weak and vulnerable to Satan, but a fascinated believer is strong and equipped to face temptation.

Be Fascinated with Grace

We’re all too prone to take God’s grace for granted. Perhaps especially as we perceive ourselves to be climbing the ladder of formal theological training.

At the heart of the danger of seminary is coming to treat lightly the grace of God. But a healthy experience of seminary will do precisely the opposite.

The Centrality of Grace

Grace is no peripheral thing in Christianity. God’s astoundingly lavish favor toward us terribly undeserving sinners, because of Jesus, is at the very center. Lose our taste for grace and we have no good business calling ourselves Christians, much less putting ourselves forward as leaders in the church.
But here’s the catch: We can’t just make ourselves stay soft to grace. Or can we?

Ultimately, it is only by more of God’s grace that we stay fascinated with his lavish grace to us sinners. But there are “means of grace” that God is pleased to use in keeping his people keen on grace. Avail yourself of the means, and do so with a regular conscious prayer something like, “God, keep me warm to your grace. Help me to be endlessly astounded that in Jesus you’ve shown such amazing favor to such undeserving rebels like me.”

Grace and the Gospel

And as we ask God explicitly that he keep fascinating us with his grace, there is another means we employ: relentlessly keeping the gospel central.

The gospel of Jesus is the source of Christian grace, and true Christian grace is ever shaped by the message of the crucified Messiah for sinners. In each class, and with each book, ask explicitly how it relates to Jesus and his good news for sinners. Look for Jesus in all the Scriptures. Be on the lookout for God’s costly grace in every book of the Bible. Seminary is a good opportunity to go deep with the grace of God.

Being Real with Our Sin

Which will include not being afraid to know ourselves as deeply sinful. Keeping the gospel close frees us to look with honesty at our sins, and see all the more what recipients of grace we are.

Don’t be afraid to linger over texts like Ephesians 2:1–3 and identify deeply with “the sinners.” Don’t think mainly of others out there, but know yourself “dead in the trespasses and sins” (verse 1). Even if you’ve been a believer as long as you can remember, there’s still plenty of remaining sin in you to know its insidiousness and what trajectory it will lead you on if unrestrained. We all know all too well “the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience” (verse 2). There is some sense in which it still courses through our veins, even with the gracious pumping of a new heart.

Let’s admit it, we know “the passions of our flesh.” They are in us — evidence that we “were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind” (verse 3). The omnipotent wrath of God once was over us. And apart from Jesus, and God’s extraordinary grace, it would still be over us.

The Flood of God’s Grace

Spend a few moments trying to breathe the suffocating air of sin and its just penalty, and then feel the flood of grace in passages like Ephesians 2:4–7. Despite our dastardly rebellion and vacuous spiritual poverty, “God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ — by grace you have been saved — and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.”

Despite our rebellion. Covering our past. Flooding our present. Increasing forever into the future. May God never let us cool to his grace. Even (and especially) in seminary, may we never cease seeking to "continue in the grace of God" (Acts 13:43).

Don’t Ever Take Grace for Granted

For the Christian, boasting is excluded both in our salvation and in everything we do — seminary work included. “What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?” (1 Corinthians 4:7).

Don’t be under the delusion that seminary automatically makes you grow in grace (2 Peter 3:18). In fact, it can have quite the opposite effect. Beware of so frequently handling such holy things as the Scriptures and good doctrine and the gospel itself. And especially don’t be flippant with grace. For God’s sake, your own sake, and the sake of the people you’ll one day serve, don’t ever take grace for granted.

We Are More Fascinated By the Stars Than the Oceans

 Humans have spent an extremely long time being fascinated by space. It’s a fascinating place, no matter how much you know about astrophysics, whether you just like looking at the stars or trace out the constellations or study supernovae with radio telescopes. Space has a deep, intense allure, which is part of why we are so excited when space probes launch, and when crews soar high above the Earth in rockets and shuttles. They are doing something that many of us deeply want to be able to do, and they are seeing the planet and its surroundings in an entirely unique way that is impossible to truly grasp from the ground. Astronauts are heralded as heroes and figures of mystique because they have taken the first step into the final frontier.

In some ways, we actually know more about space than we do about the world’s oceans, some of which haven’t even been fully mapped. As a species, we are also much more interested in space than in the ocean, despite the fact that the ocean is a deeply fascinating place. Deep in the heart of ocean valleys lie creatures more strange and curious than any dreamed up in science fiction; researchers routinely uncover new species enduring conditions that shouldn’t sustain life.

The rich colonies around hydrothermal vents are one illustration, but not the only one. Some creatures living in the depths of the ocean never see light, ever, and have developed senses to enable them to survive in an environment where predators and prey alike drift through endless cold darkness. Their bodies are specially adapted for tremendous pressure that would destroy a human body, that could take advantage of a tiny crack in the hull of a submarine to crush it in an instant. The ocean floor is covered with a legacy of centuries of living organisms, most of which came and gone without us being aware of them.

Yet, the oceans are more than just fascinating. They are critically important, environmentally. Space is interesting, and learning more about space is undeniably important, but most events in space are distant, objects of curiosity rather than being of pressing importance. When a star explodes or a galaxy forms, it is fascinating to observe, but it has no direct impact on Earth. Learning more about these things helps us understand what will happen to us, eventually, but we are speaking on a time scale of billions of years, rather than one which could unfold over the next decade.

The world’s oceans are a delicate and complex ecosystem. They are a critical part of what makes the Earth unique, and keeps it in balance. Weather is highly dependent on the ocean, as is oxygen production to sustain life on Earth. Setting aside their role as sources of food for many organisms, and as beautiful sights, and as avenues for epic journeys, the oceans are critically environmentally important, and that importance is becoming more evident as researchers probe the world’s oceans and what is happening to them.
Humans are trashing the ocean, literally in the sense of the garbage that makes its way into the ocean each year. And also figuratively, with activities that affect the ocean and in turn create a ripple effect that is extremely difficult to stop. This has very real implications; coral bleaching, for example, isn’t just ugly, but an indicator that an ecosystem is dying, and can no longer sustain life. It is also indicative of changes occurring in the ocean concurrent with warming, and mixing warming trends with the ocean is a very bad idea.

Oceanic circulation plays a huge role in global weather patterns, which is why understanding the ocean is so important. And why acting before circulation is affected is also important. Issues like temperature and salinity are key to how the waters of the world move themselves around, and when they are disrupted, circulation changes. It happens by bits at first, but accelerates over time, and has a very real risk of creating radical changes in the world’s weather. Changes which will not be reversible. Complemented by existing climate change, this is a recipe for disaster, whether you’re living in an area that will be destroyed by rising sea levels, flooded with incessant rain, or parched by endless drought.

People should be fascinated by the oceans because the oceans are fascinating. And because they hold the key to our continued existence and future. Conservation efforts focused on marine habitats aren’t just about saving organisms that are amazing and cool and wonderful, that demonstrate the diversity of life on Earth and the myriad ways in which life adapts itself to its environment. They are also, in a very real way, about conserving humans as a species, and ensuring that we, too, have a habitat we can live in.

While we are looking at the stars and admiring the vastness of space, pondering the mysteries of human existence and wondering when we will travel beyond our own galaxy, parts of the ocean are dying. This is a sad thing in and of itself, to watch something beautiful fade away because it can no longer sustain itself in a hostile world. It is also a bad thing for us, because we rely on an Earth that functions in a very particular way, and that way is enabled by the ocean. If that changes, we may never have an opportunity to travel into the depths of space, because we will all be gone, and the Earth will once again go through a period of adjustment and change that may or may not lead to the emergence of new life.
