- First comedy and satire was targeted. The elements that keep a society largely in check.
- Next was masculinity. Men were shamed as “toxic” for being manly.
- Then it was women who complain, and they were labeled “Karens.”
So if appropriate mockery is out, the most ridiculous concepts actually see the light of day.
If men aren’t permitted to defend what they know they should, the most harmful and dangerous concepts see the light of day.
And when older women are shamed for speak against what they see as wrong, the most outrageous behavior sees the light of day.
Comedy, satire, mockery, masculinity, and female wisdom. Restore it all now.
I am weary of seeing Christ presented as though He is standing outside the sinner’s life, helplessly hoping someone will give Him permission to matter.
That is not the Jesus of Scripture. The Lord Jesus is not a desperate salesman trying to make the gospel attractive enough for rebels to accept. He is the eternal Son of God, the crucified Lamb, the risen King, the appointed Judge, and the only Saviour of sinners.
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth” (Matthew 28:18).
The gospel is good news, but it is not a casual suggestion. It comes with divine authority. God does not politely ask sinners to consider repentance as one life option among many. He commands all people everywhere to repent because the day of judgment is fixed and Christ is the Judge.
“God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent” (Acts 17:30).
This does not remove the tenderness of Christ. He truly invites the weary to come. He truly receives every sinner who comes to Him in repentance and faith. But His invitation is not weakness. It is royal mercy from the One who has the right to condemn and the power to save.
“The one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out” (John 6:37).
We must stop preaching a Christ who needs man’s approval. We must preach the Christ before whom every knee will bow. The question is not whether sinners will kindly allow Jesus into their lives. The question is whether they will bow now in mercy or later in judgment.
“At the name of Jesus every knee will bow” (Philippians 2:10).
Christ is not weak. His gospel is not fragile. His throne is not vacant. His blood actually saves. His resurrection actually conquered death. His command actually binds every conscience under heaven.
The church must recover the sound of apostolic preaching. Repent. Believe. Flee from the wrath to come. Bow to the risen Christ. There is salvation in no one else.
We have never had more information in our hands, yet we have rarely looked more foolish before God.
Man can build machines, cross oceans, map the stars, split atoms, design systems, and speak confidently about almost everything under heaven. But if he does not fear the Lord, all his brilliance becomes a polished form of blindness.
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7).
Our age is not lacking intelligence. It is lacking wisdom. We know how to make life faster, louder, easier, and more connected, but we do not know how to bow. We can send our words across the world in seconds, but we cannot cleanse our own hearts from sin.
“Professing to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:22).
That is the tragedy of human pride. The more man learns while rejecting God, the more dangerous his knowledge becomes. Technology without holiness only gives sin better tools. Intelligence without humility only makes rebellion sound educated.
“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).
The problem is not learning. The problem is learning without worship. The problem is not knowledge. The problem is knowledge severed from the fear of God.
A generation can be advanced, informed, skilled, and still be spiritually insane. Without God, we do not become wise. We only become very clever fools.
@farmingandJesus 🙋🏼♀️I was so excited to get INTO Buc-ees, I left my husband in the dust, tripped over the concrete parking bumper and completely lost my footing. The man that I fell in front of asked me if I was hurt. Mostly, just my pride (and some road rash on my knees).
@MrsDrPublius Thank you. God lead me to this post today. 🙏🏻
I was becoming overwhelmed with all the evil I read about on a daily basis, and the blindness to it.
@GregoryClemens@vaalkaar@WilliamWolfe God looks at the intentions of the heart.
But if you’re white, He looks at your skin color and assigns you extra repentance homework.
@NicolaD21835930@sappholives83 He had the capacity to answer yes to his caregivers. Shaking his head, signing or maybe using a communication device.
He also the capacity to pick a child, not an adult, who would be heavier, and more difficult, or, an inanimate object.
@aliasp15@WallStreetApes Eric Trump’s actions cancel Newsom’s?
Your contention is, that if one person does something bad, it’s ‘ok,’ as long as they can point to a person whose actions were worse?
