The Word of God is offensive and scandalous to all who are perishing.

I am not a religious man, but I totally understand the gravity of what is happening today, and the ramifications it will bring.

I am reminded of the old movie version of the "Exodus", and the scene portraying the breakdown of the Jewish society with the end result being the worship of the golden calf.

One can easily substitute today's reality with the reality of more than 2000 years ago.

History repeats.........endlessly it seems....

That's true. As the Good Book says,

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." 1 Cor 1:18

and...

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

And this little gem (which has nothing to do with anything but I laugh every time I hear it):

"As the good book says, when a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick." (Tevye)
