FLASH- BANG!

[Dennis1209]

This post is mainly directed to those in my age group, although everyone’s comments are welcome.

As a boy 65 years ago growing up, 50 years ago as a young adult. Had I got out of bed one morning, and instantly seen the world as it is today, what would I have thought? How did this happen all of a sudden?

Sixty-five years ago, going to first grade in grade school; being taught evolution, gender pronouns, gender neutrality. Allowed to identify myself as a female, and use the girls’ bathrooms and dressing rooms. Born a male, allowed to compete in girls’ athletics.

Sodomy and same sex marriage was just an alternative lifestyle, normal, and I would be labeled if I didn’t accept and celebrate perversion. Dennis raises his hand in class and asks, “teacher, what is the woke culture?” Teacher this is pretty, why is the White House lit up in rainbow colors?

Walking to church on Sunday morning, a five-year-old holding his grandfather hand. Upon arriving, seeing police tape, signs and barriers, stating no one is allowed to congregate, because there is a flu going around ~ your friendly government.

Your pastor was preaching from the pulpit about Lot, and Sodom & Gomorrah. It was reported to the government your pastor was spewing “hate speech”, a crime, and was censored.

Hearing our U.S. Congress open up a legislative session, with the presiding Chaplin praying to an unknown god, Brama; and closing the prayer with; Amen and A woman.  

The point I wanted to bring forth, is short periods of time seem to deaden our perception, reality and circumstances we find ourselves in. I never in my lifetime imagined the evil and rebellion occurring today. Not to mention so many other things it would require a book to document.

Put yourself in my thoughts: You got up one morning 50, 60, 70 years ago, and bang, this is your new reality. How would you accept and handle it?

How much more will this generation witness before the Lord’s return for His church?

Possibly a war that will take out a third to half the world's  population....    Maybe next month.

Not only have we witnessed such a cultural change in the world, but we are also seeing such changes happen within certain denominations as they turn away from the truth.  Yet, we have been warned that such will happen more and more as His return gets closer.

The world has definitely changed from the time I was growing up and I am older than you. Some people have said the world has not changed but from observing our world all these years it most certainly has changed. The technology is one of the most drastic changes. The morality and values in our world has changed a lot. My parents who died in the 70's and my brother who died in 1984 would be in culture shock if they came back today.

Hi Dennis,

Yes on the outside it looks like so much has changed, but really it is just being exposed for what really has been there all along. There previously was a civilized covering on so much filth, but it has now poured over and contaminating everything and everyone not under the blood.

It's the future! Soon there will be holograms coming out of phones and all digital money... Watch out for the asteroids, but don't believe in the aliens.

Stock up on tin foil, folks. Get it while it lasts!

Really, I would wonder if some hippie dropped some acid in my coffee for fun.

We have become acustomed to thinking that Christianity and Christian world views are the norm.

It was once true in the west, but has never been trus in the rest of the world.

 

Unfortunetly the non christian view of the world is now the norm and we have to live as strangers, as aliens in the world.

 

 

For what it is worth there are questions that we can ask.

 

Neighbours, work coleagues etc are talking about LGbt or BLM or feminism etc etc

Ak why do they matter? Ak according to your world view, your philosophy of life why do these things matter?

 

There problem is that it is Christianity that says the individual matters, no other religeon or world view supports the rights of the individual.

The world’s “air,” or spirit, is an invisible, impelling force that incites disobedience to God and fosters “the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes.” (1 John 2:16; 1 Timothy 6:9, 10) “The authority” of this spirit lies in its appeal to the sinful flesh, its subtlety, its relentlessness and, like air, its pervasiveness. Moreover, it is “at work” in disobedient humans by gradually nurturing in them ungodly traits, such as selfishness, haughtiness, greedy ambition, and the spirit of moral independence and rebellion. Simply put, the spirit of the world progressively causes the traits of the Devil to grow in the hearts of humans.—John 8:44; Acts 13:10; 1 John 3:8, 10.  All of us of a certain age of "maturity" have seen this spiritual "gradualism" become worse in our lifetimes.  How much longer can this wickedness occur before God steps in?  We await with eager anticipation, all the while maintaining our own scriptural integrity!
