We’re into the Christmas season now, so get ready for sophomoric attacks on “religion”–by which they mean the Christian religion, and no other–launched by self-anointed Smart People with the manners of howler monkeys.
I’m ashamed of my town, re-naming its Christmas celebration “Winter Festival” and lighting a tree that stands for absolutely nothing.
If they’re ashamed of Jesus Christ, will they still look to Him to plead for them on Judgment Day?
This was my New Year’s message for 2014. Nothing much has changed since then. Atheists still eschew good manners.
I wonder if they were always so mean-spirited as they are today. I’m not counting college students going through a phase. It’s the ones who never grow out of it who can turn any conversation into an endurance test. But, as Martin Selbrede so often says, we are put here at least to try–and that with gentleness. No one ever got harangued into the Kingdom of Heaven.
But there is rejoicing in Heaven for every one of them who comes to Christ.
