¹⁵ I am speaking as to sensible people. Judge for yourselves what I am saying. (1 Corinthians 10:15 CSB)

Sometimes scripture states what should be obvious, but is it’s own leap of faith. As in our scripture today, it expects it is speaking to sensible people who are capable of judging for themselves. But as society “advances”, and I use that term in the loosest way possible, this seems to no longer be true.

Maybe I am becoming old and cynical. Maybe I have just seen to much of late that makes me question. Maybe I have not drank the Kool-aid of our modern culture. Yes, maybe I can say that I am all of the above, but am I alone?

Society believes it can judge, but in many ways does not do so from a sensible stand-point. Anytime a society trades truth for lies, how can they be called sensible, their judgement is skewed. And I will be called intolerant for saying so. But that does not make me wrong.

Great societies, most often, collapse from within. They lose their way morally and ethically and begin to decay. Social norms break down, civil unrest rises and people can no longer agree upon anything of value. I would love to say that we can recover, but history does not prove this out.

No, our one great expectation to fix it all is the return of Christ.
