Greetings and blessings to all of you. We live in a Postmodern society. Postmodernism says ‘all truth is relative’ (relativism). Meaning... what is right for one group is not necessarily right or true for everyone. Christianity teaches that sex outside of marriage is wrong, while Postmodernism holds that those rules don’t apply to today’s society. Consequently, sexual immorality which is condemned in the Bible is much more permissive in today’s society. Saints, Jesus is The Way The Truth and The Life. God is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever. Nothing has changed as far as who is in control of the world and what God desires. The only thing that has changed is our thinking. What we use to believe as illegal or immoral we now consider them as normative; the lying, the stealing, the alcohol and drug use, abortion as a form of birth control, the love of our fleshly desires in the form of ourselves, kids, material possessions, etc. and let us not forget the sexual identity confusion that is now being condoned in elementary schools. This way of thinking which rejects absolute truth has many to reject the Bible or pick and choose parts they like or read the Bible the way they want as to justify their lifestyle. Some Postmodern thinking Christians have adopted the idea that there are many “paths to heaven” and that all religions are equally valid. In the Bible God chose the Jewish nation to be the people who will show others around the world who the true God is. God began a theocratic nation and that is what He wanted all the other nations to be. But as you know the Jewish nation rebelled against God and His principles. But God loved us (the Gentiles) and He came up with a plan to save us and bring back His chosen people. The Bible says in Romans 11:11-12, “Did God’s people stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God made salvation available to the Gentiles. But He wanted His own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves.” But some of us it appears to have join the Postmodern society and have adopted what God hates. In First Samuel 8:5 the people of God said to Samuel, “Give us a King (President) to judge us like all the other nations have.” Has our nation said that? Of course. In Judges 17:6 “every man did what was right in his own eyes.” We are presently living like this right now. Repent Now! Lord have mercy on us.
With the Love of Christ
