There is nothing new under the sun, and it happens to any civilisation, nation and even individual people after a long period of affluence. I believe they call it the cycle of nations – or is that civilizations?.. either way it’s the same principle and one I noticed long before I read about it in history books or on TV. The Bible also often alludes to it – King Solomon might be one example; that human nature ensures that any civilisation or nation goes through cycles of poverty – war – rebuilding – faith – wealth – arrogance – no longer need for God – corruption – fall – (that’s my own slightly modified version of the original:) We all know people that have become wealthy and somehow forgotten God in their new found independence. Nations and peoples are no different.
In affluent societies men have no need of God and begin to call good evil and evil good
Suffice to say we are just past the affluent stage and into the ‘throwing god out’ stage where people are wealthy yet society is morally beginning to crumble. It’s at this stage where many (not all of course) in government have little better to do (and get paid for) twiddling their thumbs, pondering and commissioning endless pointless studies to work out and why society is crumbling and end up making up new laws and political correct-isms to keep us all in check, when the answers are all in the Bible.
Man’s problem is himself and it’s himself he needs to keep in check by reading scriptures and pondering God and asking the Holy Spirit for guidance whom the Bible says will teach men ALL things – not some things – the real wisdoms of the ages, thousand of years of trial and error in fact – not some government commissioned poll or consensus of opinion.
‘Progressive’ is often in reality regressive in disguise
So what’s the new morality? Well if you hadn’t noticed (it’s not really new news I guess) it will be a morality of politeness, ‘niceness’ and that dreadful word designed to pit man against man – group against group, while the government leaders get away with murder – sometimes literally – ‘tolerance’ whatever that is. Truthfulness, honesty, and the plain old fear of God – well that’s all hogwash and old fashioned and regressive. Of course the tolerance will be extended to everyone – everyone except Christians. We knew it was coming and some say it’s now upon us so get ready.
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related. Quick note – my articles are usually spun off in minutes so forgive any errors – hopefully you get the essence of the article and I’ll pick up mistakes later.
