I noticed this in Western Washington and decided we had to get the hell out of there. Churches were turned into tourist shops and new age mystical centers. The best insult was the palm reader taking up shop in an old Anglican building.
The decline started in Europe first and spread from there:
So, when it all goes down - we should not be surprised.
I had a vivid dream last night. The skies were darkening and I was on a journey away from loved ones when I felt that there was an impending event. I was instructed to get down as low as possible (in a ditch) and to hang onto some tree roots for as much as I was worth and to be ready. I had no longer done so when a massive wind overswept the land. It scoured the face of the land and I had survived the extreme event. The winds were in multiple hundreds of miles and hour and lasted no more than 15 mins.
Not very many people survived. Only those who followed the Spirit were able to make it. I went on in search of family members to see if there were survivors. I found a female who was badly injured, but still alive. The dream ended.
Obsessing over hypothetical end of the world events where you're one of a select few righteous survivors to the point that you're dreaming about it probably isn't healthy.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wME8e44vvY Wagner Troops (25,000) are coming into Moscow and shutting it down. Putin said no work on Monday, evacuating businesses, and possibly moving Moscow into a Martial Law situation. Wow! Can this get any crazier???
ReplyDeleteOur 30 something daughter was telling my wife and I about how a church historian (don't have his name) had considered biblical condemnation of homosexuality to be cultural thing of the ancient past. No idea how on earth anyone could come to that sort of thinking. Apparently we have some woke contamination within the Church and a good share of the membership have fallen for this crap and not a word from Church leadership of these things.
ReplyDeleteThe Church at some point in the past abdicated it's roll in support of the Principals of the Constitution, as policy. I don't care about the verbiage in support, it would be a lie if they are unable to speak out about the perversions of our freedoms and morality being trashed right and left
Obviously this would offend Democrats in the Church who have ignored the perversions of truth of their real religion, as well as the Church's tax exempt status being threatened, and what ever popularity the Church enjoys, being dumped, and who knows whatever fallout would occur.
What point do we fear God over the "World"?
Has it bothered anyone that the temple in Rome Italy has statues representing the apostles around the statue of the Savior? Is this to cater to Catholicism? It is a disturbing to me and I am not a strict Mormon.
My point is that to compromise to the world means the Church must gas light the membership. I am sure that Satan is tickled at this compromise, as active faithful members are all being roped with strand after strand of the flaxen cords. On the other side, as the Lord permits these things to take place, he is not going to bounce the Leadership out of the way, at least until the time is right. This means the membership is supposed to be receiving revelation for themselves to act for themselves as the Leadership have been expressing many times, even though they say follow the prophet mantra, may be confusing, but that is the challenge. To respond to see through traditions that give us the warm and fuzzy feelings that we are in the right place, to something that is very complex.
