“Without natural affection” - the Bible’s denouncement of these people. Come soon, Lord Jesus.
Yes. In other context I’ve talked about how terribly impressed people are these days with their own goodness.
C.S. Lewis once wrote of his shock he felt on entering a better class of society than he’d previously known and discovering that things he’d thought little of were far from right. In the vastly more extreme case the man Isaiah, who was certainly mighty in the righteousness that could come from the Law and as a ministering priest also given positional / official holiness beyond that but when he saw the Lord high and lifted up he despaired of life, announcing that he deserved to die.
People these days live one way but act like they’d imagine had they been in Isaiah’s slippers they would get a pat on the back for being such great people. They are so NICE, so TOLERANT, and they approve of themselves and those seemingly like them endlessly.
But their hears are dark, their hands drenched in blood, their feet covered with the filth of the cesspool that our culture had become.
Christ said that if the light that’s within you is darkness then how great is that darkness! Is it any wonder our culture looks like a Romans 1:18-32 process?
