An Uncomfortable Truth – UHD 14:6

A global disaster looms over the horizon. It is the slow erosion of the Christian mindset by ideological pollutants. This seepage acts like a relentless cancer that cripples sound thinking. The malignancy travels through the air odorless and undetectable to the eye. It randomly enters the unsuspecting and otherwise healthy Christian through several audio-visual Christian mediums that ride on the winds of changing thought and it eventually erodes protective layers of the mental ozone. It raises the levels of toxins in the brain until healthy understanding and common sense is drowned out by the rising tide of high-sounding scholarship that questions the reality of God’s sovereign power over all the physical earth.

Early recognition is the key to successful treatment. What would help is early warning detection systems that automatically place us on high alert so that encounters with these toxins can be recognized and treated immediately.

In an American society that forced God out of public recognition by ostracizing prayer in Jesus’ name, a culture that banned the truth of God’s Word from education, and a populace that questions whether absolute truth can be known, anthropocentric philosophy remains as the main proprietor of the way of life on earth. Several axioms pop-up on the mental computers to indicate symptoms of polluted, earth-bound thinking: “The land is life;” “God holds people responsible for the earth’s climate;” “The good news about Jesus Christ causes the physical erosion of the ozone.”

Once these contaminants enter the brain, the damage to the cells of clear thought and wisdom is inevitable and the mental capacities are slowly poisoned until recovery is nearly impossible. This is an uncomfortable truth.
