We have all gone through a dramatic metamorphosis over the last year and—almost a year and a half. We have found that if we had like Rip Van Winkle gone to sleep and slept for a century or more and awakened, we would have awakened to a very different world. In many ways our world is very different now than it was even a year and a half ago. I think it’s pretty fair to say we are now living in an utterly pagan nation. By all measures it is a pagan nation. Even the church, like ancient Israel, has decided to worship God on the one hand and worship idols on the other hand, as it has bowed its knee to cultural gods.
Truth is replaced by lies, love is replaced by hate, peace is replaced by anger, and we are looking around asking what the solutions are. There are people who tell us the solutions are political. Others would tell us the solutions are social—we need to literally have a revolution in our country and burn down everything that is in the past and reconstruct some new utopian sociology. Others tell us it’s economic—the reason things are the way they are is because of economic inequality. And all of these things will help us get back to what would be an acceptable life, if we just deal with things politically, socially, and economically.
