Wanted: Men Who Understand the Times
“Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.” (Colossians 2:8)
In an era where truth feels like a relic and chaos masquerades as progress, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Picture this: a young man scrolls endlessly through his feed, bombarded by viral outrage, fleeting trends, and polished propaganda. One moment, he's laughing at a meme; the next, he's wrestling with doubts about his purpose, his place in a world unravelling at the seams.
Sound familiar? It's the soundtrack of our time—a symphony of confusion, where ancient wisdom is dismissed as outdated and bold conviction is branded as bigotry.
The modern lies are causing mental illness. Believing lies leads to confusion. Our modern world offers many lies to our young people: creation lies, marriage lies, family lies, climate lies, history lies, race lies, economic lies, gender lies etc.
Now, pivot to the heart of life: Jesus, marriage and family. Life's brevity stares us down. Decades, not earthly eternities. Yet within these decades lie the purest of earthly joys: knowing Jesus, the covenant of marriage, the chaos and wonder of raising children.
There are many parts of a human life, but I believe only a small number of truly valuable parts: Jesus, Marriage and Family. That's it. The best of the best. Worth pursuing. Worth protecting. Worth talking about.
Don’t believe the lies. Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies. Focus on Christ. Marriage. Family.
