The [[covetous practices]] of society [[polybius|degenerate]] them into [[perfect savages]] through becoming accustomed to taking a [[bite]] out of one another. ]]

We know we need to [[seek]] the [[kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]] which is [[The Way]] of [[Christ]] but we often ''lack knowledge''<Ref>[[Hosea 4]]:6  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.</Ref> or have failed to [[Repent]]!
