Every world view must explain seven “signposts,” indicators inherent to humanity: Justice, Spirituality, Relationships, Beauty, Freedom, Truth, & Power. If we do not live up to these ideals, our societies & individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger & frustration - negative emotions that divide us from ourselves & from God. In our world, each signpost is often fractured & damaged, and the Bible offers us the vision, guidance, & hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves & our world.
