God’s Word inevitably conflicts with the plans of man. For instance, the Word directs us to acknowledge the God of the Bible as the One True God—we are to have no other gods but Him. Yet the sinful heart of man is inclined to persistent idolatry, seeking to satisfy our need to worship and find assurance in anything and everything but the God of the Bible.
God’s Word tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves. Therefore, we’re commanded not to steal, murder, or bear false witness. Yet men are perennial thieves, liars, and gossips who trample one another in an effort to elevate their own image or status. The Scriptures teach that adultery is sin, yet men and women continue to be unfaithful and deal treacherously with one another. God’s Word tells children to honor their father and mother; yet one can simply turn on the television or walk through any shopping mall to see that the world is far from compliant with this command.

Like Hillary McFarland, I also am the child of sinners.
My parents sometimes spoke too harshly to me. Now and then, I was blamed for something I didn’t do. As the oldest of six children, I had to share everything, even when I didn’t want to share. Sometimes my younger siblings broke my things. Sometimes my feelings were hurt.
I was my mother’s apprentice in the kitchen and with the younger children. When everyone got to go out and work in the garden, it was always my job to watch the toddlers. I didn’t always like it.
