“To have one foot on the land of truth, and another on the sea of falsehood, will involve a terrible fall and a total ruin.” — Charles H. Spurgeon
Have you noticed that the citizenry of this world, with all our global connectivity and technological advancements, seem to be shifting more and more into a trajectory of chaos and uncertainty? Why is this? Surely in an age of scientific precision and meticulous social engineering, we should be achieving a high level of stability. Yet, obviously from our current state of cultural upheaval and political warfare, we seem completely unable to reign in the darker elements of our nature. A gathering swell of violent rage, fear, depression, and a growing lust for drugs, alcohol, and pornography are tearing at the moral fabric of our society. But why?
Perhaps we should seriously considered the distinct possibility that all the guiding philosophies of this world have unionized to cobble together a central message that drives us into the moral chaos in which we find ourselves. Like a fat-cat global conglomerate, the world and its board of directors have fine-tuned their mission statement and built a business model around it to achieve its vision of complete domination in the marketplace of souls. And like a scheming conglomerate, it has engaged in a massive PR campaign to transmit their corporate message into every mind and heart on the planet.
The problem with this international cartel, however, is that the world, by its very fallen nature, does not peddle in truth. It profits only in duplicity, deceit, and lies. To hide that inconvenient fact, the world has to engage in propaganda to fool the masses and bend them to its will through subtle indoctrination. Sadly, the world has succeeded in many ways to grow its market share through the compost of social media, Hollywood entertainment, amusements, consumerism, safe spaces, and other distracting toys which placate the people with a false sense of happiness and well-being.
And yet, deep down, the people are still by and large unsettled. Why? Because the world wants you to shelve the perfection of God and His truth and replace it with its own flawed products of narcissism, hedonism, and self-actualization. Indeed, the world’s company motto comes in various forms, but advertises the same point: Self Above All; Do As Thou Wilt; To Thine Own Self Be True! The end result of this marketing campaign is inevitable: the rise of paganism, fantasy, and the idols of individual beliefs; the blurring of gender lines; the obliteration of all sexual boundaries; the tossing aside of human life for one’s convenience; and the denigration of Jesus Christ and vilification of His devoted followers.
Of course, disharmony always reigns in individuals when their quest for self-satisfaction displaces God and His truth. This is why people still live in turmoil, hopelessness, and fear despite the world’s best efforts to sedate them with their pharmacopoeia of comforting lies. The world might offer them a safe haven to practice their selfish pursuits, but at what cost? Tyranny, it can be shown, always grows strongest on the backs of underlings who are willing to trade in their God-given moral compass for the benefits of consequence-free living and doses of fleeting pleasure. Without God and His truth, however, the people are trapped in a totalitarian state of satanic deceit. They are slaves to their sins. And in their innermost being, they know it.No More Business With The World
