The thing is, I don't think that we Christians should get too wrapped up in the mania. We need to be witnessing to others about the Gospel, no matter what times we are living in. Still, it's hard not to take notice of things that are happening around us that seem to signal something.
- There's President Erdogan. People seem to be thinking of him as a god. One quote from that link: “Even touching Erdogan is a form of worship,” (Never mind that I am just now even paying attention to him... BTW, the hologram thing creeped me out.)
- And that Hadron Collider machine that I mentioned before is surely man trying to play God.
- People are probably not any more blasphemous than they were when I was young, but they get so much more attention for it. Since celebrities seem to have more influence than is reasonable, I'm worried about rappers who don't protest when someone publishes a bible replacing the name of God with theirs. (And, though he has says ridiculously egotistical things, the rapper apparently had nothing to do with the publishing.)
- We are seeing strange weather,
To me the biggest sign of all is that people don't want to hear about any of this. I mentioned the CERN issue to a relative and remarked that this is the kind of thing we should all be discussing more - and not who wore what to the Grammys. The response: crickets.
What do you think? Are any of you experiencing a sense of, I don't know - something? As if we are entering into a greater need for prayer?
Call me crazy, but I do feel as if time is running short. But I think that we need to be hopeful, not afraid. We need to be more eager than ever to share the Gospel. Are you? I am, I can tell you that.
And because I saw this other video right after... ~sigh~
