Fear is a Reaction - Courage is a Decision - Winston Churchill - |
We are living in some frightening times. We are living in times of moral delusion, moral corruption, and a moral revolution. What else can you call what we see that seems all too similar to what the apostle Paul spoke of in Romans 1:18-32. The end result as Paul describes it is that God gives men and women over to what they think they want; a world of self-absorption and extreme narcissism, a world of confusion and corruption, and a world where self is supreme! The story of how and why America transformed spiritually, socially, and morally is beyond the scope of today’s offering of Friday with Fred. However, let me offer you a macro view of how it came about. The British theologian, Theo Hobson, provides insight as to the process of a moral revolution. A Moral revolution must include: 1. What was condemned must now be celebrated. 2. What was celebrated must now be condemned. 3. Those who will not celebrate must now be condemned Another way of articulating his formula is: 1. What was accepted is now rejected. 2. What was rejected is now accepted. 3. Those who do not accept what is now accepted must be rejected. Ask yourself the question: Do these steps seem to explain what has happened in regard to:
We cannot and must not accept that what God says is unacceptable. We cannot celebrate that which God abhors. We must not allow fear to overcome our courage. Courage is fear that has said its prayers. Serving Him with you until He comes for us, Fred |
