The GOAT ~

I've watched as things that I was taught were corrupted and turned against what I believed. Things taken to such levels of exaggeration that went around to the other side and became the accepted norm. And it's hard!

One of the latest things is the focus on promoting the "greatest of all time". The culture I'm in is so focused on sport and competition and winning the "honor" of being "the best there ever was" and "the greatest of all time". Being Americans of course we shorten that to GOAT. And so now I'm watching the symbol that people have used for devil worship be promoted as representing the greatest thing in the world.

As I watch "settled science" on biology get overturned in the name of personal preference of sex and sexual orientation, as I watch men get declared as the greatest female athletes of all time, as I watch the church turned in to the butt of jokes and the villain in movies and video games, as I watch more and more people do illegal things because nobody is watching them I have to wonder

I read chapter 1 of the letter to the Romans and the Bible and wonder again if we are living that out right now.(https://www.bible.com/bible/97/ROM.1.MSG)

As they keep talking about limiting and tracking all cash transactions with digital currencies and other symbols that we will just have to wave over a sensor and I see fellow Christians react in fear but I actually welcome it. Because the sooner these things happen the sooner my Savior comes back. Come, Lord Jesus!
