One plus about the current state of our culture and its pull to the extremes is that most of us will never go far enough to please an unhinged public. The truth is, we become slaves to those from whom we seek approval. What a relief to just make it our aim to please God. Everything and everyone else we bow down to, no matter how benevolent the beginning, no matter what forecasts of good, will turn tyrannical. God alone can bear the burden of being God. God alone is Light and in him alone is no darkness. I have zero shame proclaiming the gospel of Christ in this day. In my opinion which, granted, is worth its weight in chicken feathers, the gospel is not only truth. It’s the sanest thing out there. Jesus saves us from ourselves from our enemy and from our brethren and sistren.
