What if, instead of the current state of affairs being the mounting triumph of secularism, it is the last gasp of its defeat?
I mean that very truly. What if that’s how we looked at things? I can’t think of a reason to think otherwise except that we are conformed to the pessimistic spirit of the age. To think that things are just going to get worse is to ignore all that God has done in history, in Israel’s age and the Church’s.
I’m laying an indictment at the feet of pessimism. It’s faithless.
We should speak and think and act and pray and worship in eager expectation and hope that God will do something quite full of both grace and truth. Do we believe the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation or not?
I think one of the great hindrances the devil has laid on us in our day is to not expect too much of God.
“You do not have, because you do not ask.” And we do not ask because what if we ask and God doesn’t answer? We’re trying to give God an out. We may think He’s all good and all powerful, but we don’t think He’ll put that power to good use.
I think this is why Doug Wilson and his cohort have been so productive and their project so captivating. This is absolutely true of the Puritans too and the thought upon which sparked all this discourse. They do not merely try to hold the line in as many places as are practical. No, they are racing after that Rider on a white horse Who has gone out into all the world conquering, and to conquer.
The secularists are wrong, their project doomed to failure. Do you really think they can throw off God and Christ?
Do we preach Christ as a beggar, begging people to try Him out? Or is He Lord, and LORD?
Does He need our charity, or we His?
