Here’s the quote Mike used in his teaching yesterday morning. I thought it was worth reposting for you to read and ponder…
“If we know the characteristic sins of the age, we can guess its foolish and fashionable assumptions—
- that morality is simply a matter of personal taste,
- that all silences need to be filled up with human chatter or background music,
- that 760 percent of the American people are victims,
- that it is better to feel than to think,
- that rights are more important than responsibilities,
- that even for children the right to choose supersedes all other rights,
- that real liberty can be enjoyed without virtue,
- that self-reproach is for fogies,
- that God is a chum or even a gofer whose job is to make us rich or happy or religiously excited,
- that it is more satisfying to be envied than respected,
- that it is better for politicians and preachers to be cheerful than truthful,
- that Christian worship fails unless it is fun.”
