EVERYBODY FOLLOWS SOMETHING


IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND THIS BLOG TO A FRIEND GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BLOG AND CLICK ON THE ENVELOPE.

There are over 600 stories and commentaries on this blog that began Nov 24, 2009. It is added to daily.
Remember Karl Marx, Trotsky, Lenin, Stalin.  The state replaced God and a new theology was formed and promoted.

Marx fashioned his ideology first as a Jew and finally as an atheist.  From the Hebrew prophets he reached out and applied their belief that a violent social change was inevitable.  This led to the conclusion that it was perfectly all right to kill off a few thousand in the name of improvement. 

From atheism he extracted the belief that there is no hereafter and therefore was perfectly comfortable in disrupting the here now of 800 million people.  He fed the people a famine while trying to convince them it would be a feast.  

All the Russians who followed this quartet into the dreadful abyss of communism weren’t uneducated peasants.  But they were desperate to find a better life.

            After World War 1, Germany, war- ravaged and its people destitute, was looking for a leader and willing to accept anyone if the promises were big enough.  And in a dingy jail cell, Adolph Hitler dreamed of being that savior.  As he waited for his time in the political arena, he wrote his autobiography and manifesto, Mien Kampf (My Struggle),  which became the creed for National Socialism.

            Its theme was absurd, but perfectly acceptable to a nation gone blind in one eye and not able to see out of the other one.  Poverty can do that.  I paraphrase it as follows, I believe in a god who has sent us Adolph Hitler to save us from becoming parasites and do-nothings.  I believe in a god who has sent us Adolph Hitler to bring back to us beauty and truth.  I believe in Adolph Hitler because I no longer believe in myself.

These were stupid ideas but people, because of greed or arrogance or anger or desperation, buy into stupid ideas all the time.  History shows it happening again and again and again.   All the Germans who followed Hitler weren’t ardent followers of these thoughts but rather of his life improving promises dangled in front of them.

Therefore, in not too long a time, most all of Germany was shouting the nonsense of their God-given supremacy:  goose stepping through not only their own country but many other lands.  Persecuting Jews and anyone else who got in their way, and supping at the table of power and conquest.

It is not that most had not looked at the consequences of their actions.  It is rather that they had been become emotionally involved in a dream without being able to envision a nightmare..  The law of common sense, broken over and over again, had produced what only such brokenness was bound to produce.

You may scoff at the idea that YOU could possibly follow some cockamamie ideology down a rosy path toward a better future.  Don’t be too sure about that.

It happens to nations and people within a nation all the time.  Ruled by emotions;  unwilling to listen to two sides of an argument; drifting with the tide, until  one day, even in a democracy, too many have voted without thinking and reaped a whirlwind.

Am I pushing a political agenda with these thoughts?  No!  But I am asking for more thought, more study and more honest disagreement on the way to truth.

SOME QUOTES FROM Rev. Wyrick’s 9TH BOOK “THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN”

            Do you know that five hundred and fifty-five feet above the ground, there sits on top of the Washington Monument an aluminum cap upon which is etched the phrase Laus Deo? 

What difference does it make?

From this lofty height overlooking sixty-nine square miles of the District of Columbia, it sends out the message Praise be to God. 

Would you prefer to change the writings on the 12th landing of its 898 monument steps, a prayer offered by the City of Baltimore? 

What of the memorial on the 20th step presented by Chinese Christians?  No one argued against having Proverbs 10:7, Luke 18:16 and Proverbs 22:6 being engraved on the 24th.  School children from New York and Philadelphia had suggested this and it was accepted as a splendid idea.  

Is there any significance that when the cornerstone was laid in 1848 a Holy Bible was put there by the Bible Society? 

There could, of course, have been a book on atheism or no religious book at all, but not if the leaders at that time had not truly believed that this was a “nation under God.”
