Prophetic Perspective on The West – Ben Shapiro
I have kept a personal diary since 1972. A year ago I turned it into an autobiography called One Small Life: Revival Adventures From My Fifty Year Journal. While writing and arranging the book, it seemed like an interesting idea to make a “Life Calendar” of the most important events and decisions I’d made over a lifetime.
The purpose was to remember God’s goodness and guidance.
On August 28, 1973 (fifty-one years ago today), at the age 20, I got a glimpse of God’s calling. I listed it this way: “Ezekiel 1:3 – I must speak God’s prophetic message – 1973.”
There are many prophetic voices in our world who have blessed my life and honed the message. Here’s an important perspective on Western Civilization that I want you to ponder.
The Moment We’ve Been Praying For
Many of us have been praying for decades that Roe v. Wade would be overturned and that America and the world will stop killing innocent babies.
That moment has arrived–and we must rise to it.
It’s time to lead the abortion debate with grace and truth.
Progressivism’s Fatal Flaw
The English language contains many words to describe lack of faith in God.
Atheism seems to be the root term–though it appears harsh to some people. Secularism is similar, and simply means “worldly.” Then there is humanism which sounds cool but begins and ends with human beings (no God).
Then there are the sensual terms like hedonism and narcissism, and also political expressions such as fascism, Nazism and communism.
The most popular word in contemporary culture is progressivism–which really means “moving beyond biblical beliefs” (to them, that’s “progress”).
Progressives want to create a post-Christian world.
Progressivism is not progress, and has one fatal flaw.
