Good Thursday Morning!
New World Order?
I read an article this morning concerning a survey about the religiosity of the millennial generation ---- you know the millennial generation is the generation of children born between 1982 and 2002, well it appears that that they are having none of it. Not surprising, because of the onslaught of negativity in the past few years.
One can say that all generations go through this ebb and flow concerning Faith, however, it is quite a bit more serious today. The main symptom, of this problem is the incessant polls and the increasing reliance of these polls to dictate public policy, moral and ethical compass, compassion and direction. The human being is naturally a "herd follower" and therefore they have a tendency to "follow fashion" not wanting to "stick out". The independent thoughts of the singular individual is often attacked by the herd, the person excoriated and shunned. Even if the person might have a brilliant moral revelation or idea that runs counter to the "group thought" or what the polls tell you about WHAT the group is thinking.
The past 5 years have proved that America has become "fundamentally changed". In some ways for the better. I enjoy the efficiency of technology. Absolutely. I can think of something, research it with lightening speed and find the answer. That is the good side, the problem is when you combine "group think and the lack of Faith" with polls and you remove Faith, replacing it with the latest thing that everyone is doing...... you get a "mess". Now hang with me for a moment and let me give you two examples...... The first being ObamaCare and the second Marriage Equality. And then something called "Fairness and Equality".
OK, picture a world in which there are NO boundaries of right and wrong, because in the absence of some form of Judeo-Cristian ethos, everything can be right or wrong depending upon the whims or fashion of the people. Atheists tend to argue to the contrary and no-doubt one or two will call me "crazy or stupid" but well .... who cares. Man has no reason nor inclination to set boundaries for himself or herself. Without boundaries, they do whatever it is that makes them satisfied. Just like the animals. The physician of today and yesterday faced decisions of Faith everyday. Most of them have/had a personal bond to their patients, and would make decisions accordingly. It was personal. But what happens when the government appoints a board of individuals, making cold decisions about a broad spectrum of people. Then who will care individually about the 59 year old Parkinson's patient, beloved by his wife of 25 years. Will any ONE person risk the wrath of the appointed group to have Mercy for this one person? Or the physician who delivers a premature baby and works valiantly to make sure that the baby lives. What happens when your health care and your ability to continue life is not based upon the Hippocratic Oath of each individual doctor towards EACH patient but upon the "economic viability" of the "class of people"....... In other words, suppose your ticket added up to "too old"; "too sick"; "not worth this operation or that operation".
Picture a world of "Marriage Equality"..... total marriage equality. Picture a world in which the beginning of this "Marriage Equality" is a man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman. Remove the Bible or any Judeo-Christian guidelines.The next most logical frontier WILL be plural unions. One man many wives; one woman, many husbands. Brothers marry sisters, fathers marry daughters .... Then the next step is removing the boundaries of age. That has already occurred with the morning after pill available for "women of all ages" --- and if that age might be 9 or 10...... so be it. A "baby woman gotto do what she gotto do". You see, marriage quality, it can be argued, can and WILL be extended to permutations known to man. Because without boundaries, the human mind knows no limits and no decency. That is because decency is only a concept. And if that concept of decency and respect has no influence on the feelings of the surveyed groups, polls or group-think then the people will move as a herd to embrace the consensus.
Finally picture a world of perceived fairness..... The doctor and the janitor taking home the same pay. The mobs attacking your home because "you have too much". What is the incentive to work, what is the incentive to innovate. You get paid to stay home, to find yourself or lose yourself in the haze of opiates and marijuana. Suppose schools no longer carried books, words were placed on digital devices and history was abandoned or altered to reflect the current leader's point of view. Picture a world of no political opposition, picture a "new world order" complete with standardized education and the permanent separation of God from the individual. A world where 70 percent of babies conceived are aborted and "after birth abortion" (infanticide) is contemplated in a top scholarly journal. A world in which decency is driven out and fairness only exist when one embraces carnality and displays only the lascivious. And imagine a world where you are not able to tell the emperor that he has no clothes because you fear retribution and persecution.
This is the "fundamentally changed" America. And it should be no surprise then that solid majorities of millennials describe Christianity as "hypocritical" and "judgmental." Without it, however, there is a dark place where man lives only by utility and need, where lives are dictated by one and rules are imposed by groups. But you know, as I have said before, there is nothing new under the sun. We have been through these permutations before, and civilizations have not only failed, but been replaced by something darker and more perverse. It is our duty to teach the truth, even when you feel no one is listening. Utopia is not attainable without boundaries.
1 Chronicles 28:20
David also said to Solomon his son, "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.
