Years
ago I was at women’s meeting and the older women were talking about the
decline of morality in our society. As a young women in my early twenties I did not realize the
urgency and importance of the conversation. As I heard them talking about the end of the age being upon
us I was literally thinking some of the comments were hyperbole and completely
outlandish. More than two decades
have passed since I sat in the midst of those godly women and have come to
realize that even their worse hyperbole can’t come close to the decline we are
currently seeing today.
Only
two in a half decades have past since that conversation and there has been a
complete redefinition of truth, morality, how humans communicate, connect,
entertain, educate and the list goes on and on. But the greatest concern I see
is the church conforming to this redefinition and encouraging
disciples to evolve since society is evolving. It’s a terrible day when alleged
theologians, pastors and teachers are taking the Word of God and redefining
it’s meaning in the name of love.
The
message of the Kingdom of God is far more powerful and liberating than the
co-exist rant our modern evolving society so easily embraces. There is a depth to the absolute truth
of the message of gospel that resonates in the spirit of man. What society has
done is dilute the truth with its man made philosophies tearing down its original
purpose which is to bring freedom
to humanity.
The
truth is the Kingdom message is one of true equality. The book of Galatians
tells us there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither
slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ
Jesus. The Lord has no favorites however he does not rule His Kingdom like a
democracy nor does He accept everyone’s opinions about anything and
everything. The message of the
Kingdom does mean there are no
ethnic, geographical, cultural or moral barriers for those who have repented by
turning away from that which God calls sin. Only then is true forgiveness
extended and a NEW LIFE IN HIM begins. When we are His and live according to
the reality of the Kingdom we become a regenerated man, by the Spirit! How’s
that for equality and acceptance!!!!! Now that is how God’s love wins!
To all contemporary thinkers, theologians, pastors
and seekers who boldly declare freedom is found in the message that no longer stands on the infallible Word of
God I would like to echo the words of George Orwell.
“The more I hear
people screaming freedom, freedom, the more I hear their chains rattling.”
