Society as we know it today in late 2025 has collapsed. As bad as we were....and knew ourselves to be....only ten years ago....we have since then lost all of our moorings....and our rudder....and our ballast. All we are doing right now is sewing up the sail....on top of which we have hung a giant Stars and Stripes. The ship is rocking violently in a tempest of hurricane force winds....with 90 feet waves. The holds are taking on water....and the ship is under mutiny.
I won't give the name of the sports outfitters....for that is not necessary....but I was in one of their beautiful stores today....walking slowly from one section to another....just in awe at what was before me. Have you ever thought of a fishing section of being aesthetically beautiful? Well it was....with row upon row upon row of rods assembled as if they were drawn swords pointing to the lord of the sky!
I'm not a camper....and have no desire to sleep anywhere out under the stars....but the tents were so perfect in geometric design that I almost wished that I had one....just to put it up and look at it! The snow ski apparel rivaled anything in design that NASA could outfit its astronauts. I haven't been on a golf course in many decades....and these did not seem like rows of 'clubs' that I walked through....but instruments seemed a more suitable description.
Maybe I ought to get out more often....but there was a sadness in me as I left the store....for every sport represented there....seemed to shout out to me.....'stay away from here....you do not have the money or the time to get involved in any of this!'
Surely we are like life in Pompeii as the volcano erupted....with their statues and marbled floors....or the baths and villas of Rome as the hordes entered the city. Did you know that construction of the Colosseum started just as Titus paraded through Rome the golden menorah from the destroyed temple in Jerusalem....along with thousands of now captive Jewish slaves? It's as if the temple of God was torn down to make way for sacrifices of Christians in the arena?
Constantine later made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. Sounds good right? It's just like what we are trying to do in America....but something like that comes with a cost....the Christian Faith itself.
The glory of God....what little of God's glory was left....departed our halls of congress ten years ago....and our White House and even our churches. It has been a decade of torment. If you are not vexed at what is happening....then maybe you have been vaxed....immune to evidence not only right before you....but everywhere in God's Word..
Something happened in February of 2017 was symbolic of our collapse....as the 240 stores owned by Family Christian Stores....after two years trying to survive through bankruptcy....closed for good. One month after the presidential inauguration....we replaced the cross of Calvary....with the flag....and the Christian bookstore with the current events section at Barnes & Noble....and the warning of prophets with the warning of podcasters.
Billy Graham had given his last recorded warning two years previous....and God would take R. C. Sproul home before the end of 2017. He would take others home one-by-one....until there was no one left to speak out.
