Walk In The Spring Rain......Redux

        As bad as the scenario painted in the following post from three years ago is, it would be like a walk in the spring rain compared to what we face today.

Post Tenebras Lux.......November 20, 2011

         How does one go about getting the attention of the average American on issues such as appear in these posts? Well, let's start to answer that by identifying those issues. On July the 4th, 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed and so began the Great American Experiment. Two-hundred and thirty five years later a new declaration is being signed onto, one that voids the first, one that has Karl Marx hoof prints all over it.
         The majority of the American church is inflicted with one of three illnesses: total liberal heresy in denial of the gospel itself, or off on tangents and doctrinal fads that at the very least make the true proclamation of the gospel ineffective if even understood at all, or so watered-down in identity and doctrine as to make it a place where almost anyone in this nation can saunter in, and under the nondiverse and intolerant shroud of cultural diversity and radical tolerance covering the corpse of truth, have absolutely no objections, pangs of guilt or fear of punishment from what they hear from the pulpit.
         Homosexuality directly challenges God on television, philosophy in film, and greed in business. pride in academia, feminism in the home and narcissism in our free time. Should a child survive the pre-born sacrifice of abortion, he or she must navigate a world increasingly at enmity with God. The coup de' gras of the socialist/Marxist/globalist assault on America has been with the concept of "law." That which has kept us from chaos is today too often in the hands of those who do not revere it. The Robert Borks are being replaced by the Elena Kagans.
         These are some of the issues, now how does one go about getting people's attention? Well, there's good and bad news here. Let me start with the bad news; one cannot get their attention. In fairness to them, they would have to sneeze while changing radio stations, and sneeze just as the dial was positioned on talk radio, inadvertently giving them the opportunity to hear some morsel of legitimate news, information and warning; and even then, would they listen? The original condition of every man, women and child on this earth is that of desiring autonomy and pursuing self-exaltation, and few were more cemented into it than I once was.
         The good news? Nations rise and nations fall according to God's will! We are in darkness today in the United States of America but surely the Reformation mottoes of Post Tenebras Lux (after darkness, light) and Soli Deo Gloria (to God alone be glory) offer us hope in remembrance of those who have gone before us and how God has dispelled darkness before. If this blog informs anyone in a way which causes them to inquire into their fallen condition and then seek God's mercy it will be entirely His doing, according to His will and to His glory alone. If it doesn't, then the fewer that read these posts...the better.
