These are some misc thoughts from Feb 07....
Just finished "By What Standard" By Rushdoony, an analysis of the philosophy of Cornelius Van Till, I only had to skip 2 different chapters as I was lost as to what was being talked about.
I use a yellow high lighter,in chapter 5, I was wishing that the high lighter was available in a roller version. I can say without a doubt that by reading Rushdoony, my vision of God just keeps expanding, he keeps knocking down my phony ideas that try to keep God as less than He is.
These following thoughts are not from the book but have been on my mind. By phony ideas, I mean my old man worldview that was the result of an education system which impressed upon me a worldview that all of life can be understood and experienced apart from God. What absolute evil of the first order.
As the guy said on Kevin Swansons show..."Christians would never send their kids to a Jehovah's Witness school or an Islamic school" Everyone thinks that schools are neutral. But because we Christians have forgotten our heritage and have developed such a taste for humanistic ideas that we didn't even recognize that the schools had become houses of worship for the religion of humanism. We couldn't see that they were desecrating the first commandment. Right in front of us.
Luke 16:... for the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.
So, we who have fled the schools, do we still drink deep from the same system of humanism that is the heart and soul of modern entertainment, the handmaiden, the logical outgrowth of our education system.
Entertainment. We need to be watching out for those false worldviews that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. It's only a "G" movie, you know. There's nothing like buying tickets and popcorn so the enemy can work on us. Ouch! We need to be men of understanding and come to grip with the fact that the kingdoms of this world are at war with the Kingdom of our God, and us by extention. Fool us once shame on you, fool us a 1000 times and we need serious help. We need to refuse to expose ourselves and our families.
Luke 16:15...for what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
