I so much appreciate this very solid message by my Dear Brother Pastor Paul Jaramillo, (pictured above) of the Open Door Bible Ministry in Los Alamos, New Mexico! We love Pastor Paul and his lovely wife Pat.
Since the pandemic, American adults are behaving badly. Bad behavior of all kinds everything from rudeness and carelessness to physical violence has increased. Americans are driving more recklessly, crashing their cars and killing pedestrians at higher rates. Early 2021 saw the highest number of unruly passenger incidents ever, according to the FAA.
So we must ask ourselves . Why are people acting so weird?
Well we are seeing is the emptiness when life is built on the wrong foundation. A critical question for Christians is whether there is anything we can do about it. A critical answer to that question is to remember that we aren’t the first followers of Christ to find ourselves in a society unmoored from morality and meaning.
When public morality is unhinged, Christians ought not lose hope. Who knows whether God is poised to bring another Christian revival as during the time of the Wesleys and Whitefield? Either way our part is to reject the spirit of the age, embrace what is good and true, treat everyone as if they are made in the image of God, and speak boldly when we can. Of course, that will make many think we are being weird. So be it. That’s the kind of “weird” the world needs.
