An old movie favorite, Forrest Gump, came up with a popular quote: "Stupid is as stupid does." With Hollywood being as humanistic as it is, that statement is appropriate for them. They are not into the spirituality of things. But (this is a holy "but"), Truth is: stupid does as stupid is. The "is" always goes before the "does."
Example: a sinner is not a sinner because he sins. a sinner sins because he is a sinner. a pine tree is not a pine tree because it grows pine needles. a pine tree grows pine needles because it is a pine tree.
It is a tragedy that the church in America has let most discussions (especially in business meetings) revolve around the humanistic instead of the spiritual.
