Further thoughts on the current time and recent events
It seems clear to me that we are to warn in general to "flee the wrath that is to come" ( Romans 1:16-17 but also found in the Gospels). The current state of deviancy has of course degenerated since the family structure itself was attacked at the source back in the post World War 2 generation. The site History of English has this to say on a popular quote
The phrase ignorance is bliss originates from a poem by Thomas Gray, called Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College published in 1742.
We are all; therefore either complicit ourselves or surrounded by others who have watched families torn apart by divorce gradually head towards a lifestyle of lasciviousness; drug use; and then the embracing of what God warned about in Romans 1 which brought about the demise of other great civilizations in the past. This started off with disobedience to parents to a large degree which of course stemmed from the permissive; and passive advice which was followed by the psychologists and social influencers of the time especially in the 60s and 70s. At this point those who are truly revolutionary and innovative are those who tenaciously hold to Biblical values. Again; as I often do I warn about making our heritage and history the sole base for these ideals; it is one thing to embrace what our laws and Constitution proclaim as freedoms which we paid for by the blood of past soldiers paying the ultimate price; another to put all of our heart and soul into an institution of man no matter how close its history parallels scripture; because critics can always find exceptions; hypocricy and the like to our logic.
It appears that we are at the point where our institutions and government are never going to be able to fully control the anarchy that is the fruit of generations of rebellion. It comes through those who are willing to take a stand for the truth; sadly no doubt there will be more tragedies; let us keep in prayer
The world is .uttered with the ruins and carcases of how many 'world orders'?
The war in the Ukraine is but a continuation of the Crimean war in the 19th cent and at root stems from the same problem. But it is also the unravelling of the world order established at Potsdam at the end of WW2.
The two countries who's foundations were founded upon biblical principles ,the UK in particular have exchanged the truth for a lie , liberty for bondage and our true Christian heritage fir a " mess of pottage" .
The liberty for bondage is exchanging those Christian liberties for human rights .
Having rejected the truth both nations have embraced those two opposing ' immaculate conceptions' that dazzle the imagination but blinds mens minds to the truth . Capitalism and Socialism .
For when you reject the truth you will be.ueve the lie and once you be.ueve the lie you become blind to the truth .( see Eve).
But what if the church? For is it not the salt? Which both stops the meat from rotting and makes people tnirsty?
If the meat is rotting where is the salt?
"Behold Instand at the door and knock " How is it that the Lord after the resurection had no problems with closed doors locked or otherwise? But here He is outside the church knocking on its door you cannot say unable to enter but clearly unwilling without an invitation .
That knocking is therefore a call to the whole church to repent ,the promise however is only to those who have eaters to hear AND open the door "
It is written " When the enemy comes in like a flood the Spirit of the Lord will raise a standard against him"
Not all have ears to hear . Gideon started with 30,000? But finished up with 300.
God always blesses the many by the few .
I think we are like those who first landed on Americas shore . The beach is wonderful , the weather sublime ,the sea full of fish and the tree line filled with every fruit going and we have said to ourselves this is a good place let us build a nane for ourselves and camp
