“Man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority, ignorant of what thou art most assured, play such fantastic tricks before high heaven, as make the angels weep.”
We are blessed beyond words to enjoy the freedoms, the affluence and the rich heritage of Christian faith that have come down to us in our Western world.
Is it not disturbing then, to see a new generation repudiating the faith upon which our civilization was founded, swarming to druid solstices, smoking bong pipes, chanting naked in sweat lodges, rolfing and rolling new age crystals? In other words because “they are ignorant of what they are most assured”, they give themselves over to antics “that make the angels weep.”
This week was the anniversary of John Lennon’s death. For him it was indeed a “very brief authority”. I have always felt that it was the beginning of the end for the Beatles when they proclaimed themselves more popular than Jesus. After that, the tricks began in earnest.
Have you been assured of your Christian faith? Then stay assured. Let others perform the antics that make the angels weep.
