Atheist Thinking is Turning Us into Idiots
I’ve been writing for decades about the worldview battle taking place in Western culture.
For hundreds of years our civilization anchored itself in the bedrock truths of the Old Testament as wise and crucial for just and humane societies. We also imbibed the grace and love of God found in Jesus as the oxygen of our social fabric.
We ascribed to the Judeo-Christian worldview. Grace and truth make individuals and nations strong.
But like a cancer, an atheistic, no-God, secular worldview has been infecting our nation for years.
And atheistic thinking is turning us into idiots.
The War of 2024
God designed human beings to value and seek three critical realities:
Truth. Goodness. Beauty (the cultural trinity).
Truth is the most important because it gives perspective to everything. Jesus declared and backed up with his life:
I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me (John 14:6).
With the collapse of Western Judeo-Christian norms in the latter 20th and early 21st centuries, it’s becoming more difficult to know what’s true–in every area.
Here are some thoughts on the War of 2024 and knowing the truth.
Pride is Usually a Sin
June used to be known as the “wedding” month when a man and woman came together in holy matrimony, usually in a church, to demonstrate the God-given origin and covenant of marriage.
Our wedding, though not in June, took place on October 10, 1976, before 300 people at Harper Church. The wedding announcement stated: “We believe that the wonderful God of the universe has called us to serve him together in the beauty of holiness.”
Today the month of June has become “Pride Month” with numerous parades and celebrations around the nation. Some members of the current administration want it to become “Pride Summer.”
That’s problematic.
Pride is usually a sin.
