Reub, you have put out a most strong warning about how all the world is deliberately allowing itself to slip faster and faster down the slippery slope, that there are things happening behind the scenes which are sidelining or worse ordinary people from having any say in how this world should live. The most surprising thing is that these ordinary people are getting behind what is happening, this full-blooded drive to take our freedom from all of us! They don't see the harm, the damage they are bringing on themselves, and one day, when it's too late, they will so deeply regret and suffer from their blindness at destroying the lives they desire and find themselves trapped in a dungeon they themselves helped build. We need the breath of the Holy Spirit to be spread worldwide, pointing out that we all have a choice, either seeking out wealth which will lead to the tyranny of those who acquire it or seeking God Who promises real life to the full. (John 10:10)
This is one of your best yet, Reuben. Great food for thought and as always beautifully written. It really does not make any sense to try an bridge the gap to those that still believe the government’s have our best interests at heart. And yet my own worldview tells me that in the end good will win over evil and I hope I will be there to see it.
Thanks Tanja for the feedback and encouragement. It is great to have a worldview that the good will win in the end and I hope you are right! We are living in interesting times and you could write a dozen different scenarios of what will happen over the next 6 months and none are likely to be correct. I am reminded of the Bible verse "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding". I seem to understand less each day but am still trying to draw the pieces together.
Thanks for the comment Rog. As you say freedom is precarious and Reagan's quote is important when he said "“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” The challenge for us all is knowing how and when to resist as we are being drawn into a snare. Thanks for the great insight
