Something just occurred to me about this sermon --The repeated refrain . . . "If . . . then our work is still not done" . . . echoes part of the Passover Haggadah -- a song called the Dahyenuh . . . (It would be enough). .
Had God called us out of Egypt, and not judged the Egyptians, it would have been enough for us . . .
Had God judged the Egyptians, and not destroyed their idols, it would have been enough for us . . .
Had God destroyed their idols, and not slain their first born, it would have been enough for us . . .
(I saw the earlier thread and commented on it, but missed this creepy resemblance.)
According to Virtueonline.org there are only about 775,000 in church nationwide on an average Sunday, most of them aged. Many churches with no youth at all. Entire "Dioceses" with a mere couple thousand members all told.
Deaths outnumbering births 2 or 3 to one, with few of those births realistically joining the church, ever. Loss of actual members, 50,000 a year.
And all the while, ever more bizarre deviancies and perversions in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the profile of a church in its death throes, right before our eyes. Ugly, but like a train wreck, hard to look away once you realize what is happening.
Child sacrifice endorsed and blessed by a high-priestess. This is old, old stuff come again. It sounds like something out of a Conan novel.
