Wow, sounds like a great movie! The truth is, it is coming to a theater near you. In some sense, the Future is Now. For 2,000 years the church has been the glue that has held our civilization together.
As Christopher Dawson explained it:
“There has never been any unitary organization of Western culture apart from that of the Christian Church, which provided an effective principle of social unity. . . . Behind the ever-changing pattern of Western culture there was a living faith which gave Europe a certain sense of spiritual community, in spite of all the conflicts and divisions and social schisms that marked its history.” When a culture built around such a sacred order dies, there will be disintegration at every level of society. The very existence of an individual’s life will shift dramatically. “The family structure, the meaning of work, moral attitudes, the very existence of morals at all, notions of good and evil, sexual mores, perspectives on everything from money to rest to work to nature to kin to responsibility to duty.” Everything will be up for grabs because everything is relative, for there is no eternal God and no eternal truth.
We are living in a day when we do not need political consensus but spiritual and moral courage because, as George Orwell reminds us, “truth is treason in an empire of lies.”
Ephesians 4:25- Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you, with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
Ephesians 5:15-17 - Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Serving Him with you Until He comes for us, Fred
