I am wondering why Christianity was so weak in America that when bible messages couldn’t go in by means of government employees, they stopped going in at all.
We know how hard it is to stop the kids from being involved with whatever the latest superhero or cartoon fad is. Mom! Dad! I want the Disney Frozen gear! Over and over till they give in. Why can’t gospel get this kind of allegiance? Maybe because gospel is so powerful that it will knock your pants off once you’ve landed in the middle of it? Because it’s not just nice morals, it is a really scary kind of power to those who aren’t used to it? It really is. There’s a God both out there and in here both talking and listening, and He scoffs at the plans of the nations.
I think perhaps because a lot of folks and kids see it as goody-goody and boring. It’s a buzzkill to follow the rules set down by God, nevermind that it’s done not to punish us, but to avoid us falling into traps. Of course, to the bad guys, traps are good. The more folks fall into traps, the more they can step up and present themselves as the heroes to “save” you, even though it’s really about keeping you trapped and dependent upon them. A nice vicious cycle.
