Episode 759: The god of this world and the sudden vision of people in San Francisco
We are witnessing Biblical levels of spiritual blindness in D.C., in New Orleans in schools; if people opened their eyes and ears to God, much of this would stop. But, spiritual blindness becomes cultural blindness and we land at this point. Rich people in the richest parts of San Francisco--truly the top 1%--say they hate what their City “has become.” They say this because a colleague was stabbed in the chest, begged people for help from people, was ignored and died. But, what their City “has become?” The San Francisco Police Commissioner, who is not physically capable of any form of street duty and had nothing to say about the effort to find this latest killer, did say he is disturbed to see this killing “politicized” and he wants Elon musk to shut-up about it. San Francisco didn’t “become” a thing, San Francisco was made into a thing by people who would not allow in their businesses the combination of incompetence and blatant intent to harm but have funded it in San Francisco. People made culturally blind can sit and witness a culture utterly gutted by godlessness, government-installed aimlessness, family structures destroyed by engineered dependency and still decide the issue, the deep problem is, “gun violence” as a clip from New Orleans demonstrates when a news crew nearly sees a beatdown become a shoot-down.
Gladly, miraculously, beautifully, God stands ready to peel the scales from their eyes. He is telling us to be an instrument of that, just as such an instrument led Lenny Kravitz to becoming a Christian.
What does God say?
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God
Episode 760 - Men who changed me for the better, Part Two
As men, we are called to be Lion and Lamb. In 2023 America, we are told to be mute and godless or purple haired and rage-filled for the Glorious Revolution. Still, we are men and we learn from other men. This is Part Two of my reflections on men who changed me for the better, two of whom I barely got to meet and one of whom I think on a daily basis. The guy who knocked me cold in a single punch and could have easily ended me; a cab driver so huge I felt like a 5 year-old boy next to him; a teacher who chose to defend my teenage honor against a colleague while showing that fellow-teacher truth wrapped in grace.
What does God say?
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
“I am about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show yourself a man, and keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn, that the Lord may establish his word that he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me in faithfulness with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.’
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
