Today’s world is filled with humanistic philosophies and esoteric thought of every kind. It seems that everyone you meet has become a philosopher, spouting his or her views on the evils of the times. The air waves are filled with people saying some of the craziest things. If some of the things we hear today had been said fifty years ago, there’d be a lot of folks locked up in sanitariums, being drugged for the clinically perverse thinking.

One of the most common, and perhaps the most dangerous discussion today, revolves around the concept of tolerance. Everyone is telling we must be tolerant. There are so many classes of people who have been abused down through the years, and it is up to us to correct all of their hurts. If someone appears dressed as an animal, making sounds mimicking that animal, we would have normally laughed, thinking they were going to some kind of a costume party.

Now, we must consider that that pseudo-animal may have somehow convinced itself that it is no longer human, but has morphed into its current animal lifeform. Any questioning on our part may be offensive, and could be grounds for a lawsuit of defamation. All of a sudden, that ‘animal,’ has become an entirely new protected class.

What has the world come to, with some of the insane laws that are being passed, along with ordinances challenging many facets of our ordinary lives? It seems that the foundation upon which reason and logic have sustained us for all these years, has been thrown out, and replaced with a brand new textbook understood by only progressives and far-left liberals.

I think Paul identified the problem well many years ago when he wrote in…

Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

The main reason we no longer recognize our world, nor understand its philosophies, is because it is no longer founded upon God’s righteousness. The Bible has been thrown out of the schools, and, by extension, out of the hearts and lives of most of our citizens. Those rock solid principles that were used to found this nation, have disintegrated into indecipherable gibberish.

Because the world no longer uses, let alone recognizes, the truths of God’s Word, there is no standard for behavior and thought. As in the days of the Judges, every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

It seems the only thing that is out of the realm of tolerance today is Christianity. The Lord Jesus Christ has become once again the Outsider, despised, rejected, and disbelieved by the world’s leading influencers.

The world has become ignorant of God’s righteousness, and has set about establishing their own; opposite of His truth.  Let’s make sure we stay grounded upon His Word, lest we too become ignorant.
