I am going to take a break from blogging for a bit - don't know how long. Given what is going on in the world my heart is just not in it right now. And just as I am not overly interested in writing, I am certain you are not too concerned with hearing from me at this time.
How the heck did we get here? That question can only be answered with a book or a few sentences. I'd like to write a book some day, but for now, two paragraphs will have to do:
I believe that at the root of all of this political and financial turmoil is a lie that that to our shame, we have believed. Post-modern intellectuals and our universtiy campuses have told us for forty years that things like "truth" and "morality" and "ethics" are relative; that there is no objectively definable and un-changing definition of such things.
And I believe we have looked too often to Washington for every solution to every problem, when in fact the problems either originate or are magnified there. It is time to look to ourselves, our beloved families, our churches, and our communities for solutions. Big Government is broken - and I believe the only fix is term limits for Congress.
As we consider how we are going to navigate this crisis in our own lives, and as we consider who we are going to vote for at all levels of office next month, I ask that we all give some thought to such matters.
I believe it is time to walk what Jeremiah called "the ancient paths" again. It is time to seek the simple truths that don't change and are not relative.
They are there - we just need to remember how to look for them.
