More That Matters with Ron Hughes

Group solidarity is an important part of our lives. Humans are social and sociable creatures. From the time we are born, we need others. We start out requiring basic physical care. Over the years, the needs change as we become more adept at taking care of ourselves, but we never outgrow our hunger for interaction. We derive much of our meaning in life from interactions with others. It is a rare person indeed who can live a satisfying life with little or no significant human contact.

I believe that this is a reflection of the purpose for which we exist. God created humans for relationship first of all with Himself and also with each other. Our natural rebellious streak may separate us from God but it doesn’t quench our desire for connectedness. While human relationships are fulfilling, we will never find our deepest needs met until we look to God, Himself.
