"We do not know what is happening to us and that is what is happening to us,

not to know what is happening to us."

José Ortega y Gasset, 1930 ~


After everything else that has taken place in Minneapolis St. Paul, (fraud, theft, graft at the highest levels of state government) you might’ve thought that you’ve seen everything. But then came the activists, the agitators, the anarchists who broke into a Southern Baptist Church during a Sunday morning worship service, scaring children, and teenagers, not to mention parents, claiming that the pastor is to be silenced because of his involvement with the federal agency ICE.


You would think that those people would be arrested and charged. At least it appears that law enforcement is looking into certain charges, but none have been filed as of this writing. What is worse is that it took 3 days before there were major news agencies, except the AP, that covered the story at all or with any depth.


This is not simply an incident that will go away from the minds of the children, the teenagers, and the parents. PTSD is in all likelihood a real probability for many at that church. However, this is an event that should not go away from the consciousness of our society.


In one sense, the fact that it will go away quite soon is a "sense of the ending." The Apostle Paul talked about the fact that people could have their consciences seared. They become numb to wickedness and evil, and in fact cannot even identify it. In a world that has shifted its worldview from Christianity to nihilism, being backed by Satan’s influence and illusion, it is obvious that we cannot cheat the end from arriving. It is not here yet. But it is getting ever closer still.


When a culture turns its back on God, there will be consequences. (Romans 1) As Shakespeare said through Hamlet at the end - "the rest is silence." We call it crickets. 


What is happening to us?


Serving Him with you
Until He comes for us,
