Post Lux Tenebras and Semper Reformanda

-

 I was listening to a talk by RC Sproul tonight. It was about Luther as we are in the time of Reformation Day when Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. It wasn't his intention to start a revolution. He had written them in Latin which most people didn't know in that area. He wanted to address these issues with the Catholic Church which he was a part of. Unfortunately, some students translated it into German, and the rest is History. Sproul was talking about the phrase Post Tenebras Lux, which is out of darkness, light. My mind reversed it and said we are now Post Lux Tenebras, out of light, Darkness. That's what I see in the church at large today with all the heresies and outright evil being pushed by a growing number of churches. Sproul made that point, as well as the reversal of the Latin minutes later. I was astonished. Not that Sproul said it, but that I had thought it. ME! God is gracious.


So how does this play into Semper Reformanda, Always reforming? Well, Protestantism should always be reforming. Reforming bad theology into good. The Reformation will always continue, as man will always twist Scripture out of true to accomplish his ends rather than God's. You don't believe me? Look at those like Osteen, Hinn, Copeland, et al. They've so twisted God's Word to make money that I wonder if they know the True Gospel any longer. These days, it's not just the Roman Church that is in error, but many a so-called Protestant church as well. Many churchgoers are also ignorant of the Gospel, likely because they don't read their Bibles. If they truly read them, fewer would likely be taken in by these sons of Satan. Scripture warned against the time when people would not bear sound doctrine, that there would come those who scratch itching ears. These days, there's a whole lot of scratching going on.  Also a whole lot of people that need to read, and understand Matthew 7:21-23. 


May God be gracious and open their eyes to the false teachers they follow.

Weep for the World

 It's very hard watching a World under Judgement come apart. The West especially is under Judgement from God. About the only thing we haven't done to pervert God's Laws and His order is to normalize pedophilia. It won't be long for that as there's been a push by NAMBLA to that end for over a decade. We murder the innocent unborn in the womb, we have 'normalized' homosexuality, we've 'normalized' the lie of being able to change your sex, or gender, or whatever they're twisting it into these days. We've allowed racial strife to be ramped up in the name of 'equality' or some such. We've become worshippers of the planet or Gaia if you will. We've ascribed human traits to animals. All this perversion and insanity is CELEBRATED while at the same time creating generations with weak minds who will crumble when the whole house of cards comes crashing down. Also, Governments are attacking Biblical Christianity wherever they can get

Because they are EVIL.

  They ARE evil , yet many will ignore it. Many would rather not be told the truth. Why? As the prophet Jeremiah says "The heart of man is evil, who can know it?" Man's heart IS evil. The Bible tells us this. A Biblical worldview tells you this. The Law of God is written on the heart of man. His heart is evil because he KNOWS this and yet ignores it. Do not trust your heart. Rather, trust in God and His ways.  Ramble Ends.

The New Salem Witch Hunt(s)

-
 Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the sun." We see this with Mankind over and over. Whether it's Israel and their constant straying from God that started almost immediately after they were freed from Egypt all the way through History to heresies in the church to today's return of the love affair with Communism, Man does not change. These days there is a double witch hunt. First up, so-called 'Whiteness'. Go to the vast majority of colleges and you will find both black, white, and many other hues calling for the abolishment of 'Whiteness'. The definition changes from person to person but the cry is the same. White people are evil and the cause of all problems in the world at large. Whites are racist and evil no matter their age. These people are blind to the very bigotry and hate they're spewing. THEY are the ones they're looking for, but they project their faults onto society at large. They are immune to facts or anything that goes aga
