So, I'm eyeballing Facebook when I notice a friend's status that referred to a Douglas Wilson post that dealt with the latest International Olympic Committee idiocy regarding the participation of transgender athletes in Olympic competition. It appears to be Wilson's aha moment to wit.."we have now advanced well past the absurdity horizon, the point past which no recovery is possible without resorting to the forces of dark bigotry and reaction."
Some of us reached this conclusion more than twenty years ago.
If you feel as if you are living in some sort of alternate reality where morality, ethics, common sense and basic goodness and humanity have gone out the window......well.....you are. From Job 1:7 "The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it." John 15:19 "If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you."
Finally, 2 Timothy 3:1-5 "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power."
While we are never guaranteed a tomorrow, we MUST be ready for it. Islam is marching across Europe and gaining popularity in the U.S. We can expect ever increasing acts of horror against Christians. Christian parents have to prepare their children never to deny God, no matter the consequences.
All of the worldwide economic and political indicators show that catastrophic events are just around the corner. Be prepared. Our names can be erased from the book of life so it is vitally important not to be distracted with earthly things and focus instead on the spiritual.
