From the bedroom to the schoolroom modern culture has become obsessed with a democratic spirit. If I want to do something, why can’t I?
The idea that even one’s most intimate, hidden and personal thoughts will be held accountable to the God of the Bible is abhorrent to our culture. Even Christians have become embarrassed to state such an idea openly.
The modern attempt is to put God and his Bible in an intellectual box and then label that box bigotry and intolerance. Surely we can do what we want with our bodies, our unborn children and our thoughts.
The spirit of the people of Babel lives on with great passion!
Then they said, “Come, let’s build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world.” Genesis 11:4
Man’s spirit has not changed much over time.
Now our culture has once again become fascinated with itself. The trauma and tragedy of the two great wars of the 20th century has faded into a dull memory. Culturally, politically we think that we know what is best for our lives without regard for God. We have become like Israel in the time of the Judges. We do what is right in our own eyes: to each his own.
May God renew our passion for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This is only hope for your children.
One thought on ““To each, his own”: The curse of modern culture”
today, many people object to witnessing because it is socially unacceptable. Some only think about their own well-being/salvation because they fear social rejection. Others are just prejudiced against the unsaved, or follow their lead to be accepted. Sounds like high school, huh? Some have “graduated” so are less constrained about talking about God, or are embarassed at their own knowledge. It should be understood that it’s not what you know, but Who you know!
