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.
