FOCUS:
• The erosion of Biblical morals in American Culture
• Is a Greco/Roman mindset compatible with God’s Culture
• Why does the Church think it’s a good idea to copy the fallen culture to boost & maintain attendance
EXCERPT: "Welcome to the Shuv Show. I’m your host: Christene Jackman.
This quote from Shakespeare’s Macbeth reminds me of the tactics of hasatan:
"Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under't."
(Shakespeare Macbeth: Act I, Scene V)
Ever sit and mull over the moral state of our country? Pretty grim, huh?
Kids, find a grey-haired person and ask,
“Just how different are the morals of America today from when you were a child?”
You need the see the world of today through the eyes of yesterday, in order to see the future.
Once unthinkable things are becoming the norm in our current culture
They are introduced, slowly, enticingly
like a serpent slithering secretly beneath a shroud of flower petals
Tools of the Trade? the media: tv, radio, movies, video games, books, school programs
All rewriting minds
Desensitizing and Debasing our sensibilities
A Path that will lead ultimately to the most vile of things
And the Adversary/Hasatan rejoices at the thought.
Remember Scripture says in Kohelet/Ecc 1:9-11,
“What has been--will be again, what has been done-- will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, ‘Look! This is something new’? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.”
There is nothing new under the sun. What has been will be again.
That tells us we must learn from history. Or else . . . :
