Nov 3rd, 2023: What Have We Lost?

Being compassionate doesn't mean turning a blind eye to evil. When we fail to recognize what is evil, we lack an understanding of suffering, and our compassion remains undefined. Compassion, after all, means to "suffer with." Suffering often results from human failings, and we must summon the courage to acknowledge evil for what it truly is.

Our refusal to acknowledge the reality of sin has been a deliberate ploy by malevolent forces. This erosion of moral values blurs the distinction between right and wrong, reducing it to mere human perception. Our reality is now shaped by perception, influenced by ignorance and moral decay.

When sin is denied, forgiveness becomes unnecessary, and the need for a savior diminishes. I'm aware that there are movements seeking to undermine the very foundation of the Christian faith. Today, our world faces hostility toward its own existence. Universities have forsaken their pursuit of truth and open dialogue, becoming vehicles for specific agendas.

Fear permeates our societies; it dominates our lives. We can no longer openly discuss or freely think. This marks the beginning of our slow and painful decline. Perhaps one day, we will awaken to the extent of what we've lost.

Isaiah: 5:20

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;

Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;

Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
