The Problem of Depravity–and the Coming Election
Watching the actions of various groups in America recently got me thinking about one of the “basics of life.”
While progressives and anarchists looted and burned many cities blaming racism, police, and social injustice, people of faith came to Washington, D.C. (and all over the nation) to repent and self-identify with the sins of the nation.
One worldview blamed out-siders for their problems. The other blamed themselves.
The “blame others” crowd might prevail and elect Joe Biden our next president if you believe today’s polls.
Why?
It’s a problem of depravity and the coming election.
The Election That Could Determine the Fate of This Generation
Some might call it hyperbole that this is the most important election of our lifetime.
But many are saying so–and I agree.
This will be the twelfth presidential election of my lifetime. For much of America’s history, presidential elections didn’t matter greatly because power was local and federal influence remained quite small (except for expanding the nation from “sea to shining sea”).
Beginning in the mid-twentieth century, the federal government began to grow exponentially, the nation became increasingly secularized, and the possibility of both economic problems (monstrous debt) and world rule (globalization) came menacingly into view.
Because of these and other factors, the November 3 U.S. elections could determine our fate in this generation.
Here’s how.
The Fog of Deception
A well-known journalist with one of the fastest growing news podcasts in America was recently asked why left-leaning corporations like Comcast and Disney support socialism.
He admitted they knew that tearing down the capitalist system in America would hurt their profits. But they were still committed to doing so.
A viewer asked, “Why would they do that?”
He replied: “I don’t know.”
I think I do.
It’s the insidious fog of deception.
