In our current climate, the idea that there are a few simple things that most, if not all, of us can agree on, is a wild assumption!
Common sense is not so common, huh? Instead what we have is confusion, contradiction, and conflict!
In this land of ‘alternative facts’ and relativism, it’s not surprising that even the news is no longer news! Journalism has been reduced to propaganda and punditry. Much Christian preaching has been undermined by pageantry, pedantry, and an unhealthy preoccupation with being provocative under the guise of being prophetic. Education has become socialization rather than illumination and liberation.
All these things are examples of what happens when the Truth (or at least the pursuit of it) is abdicated in the name of profit or pragmatism. We are untethered – without anchor or foundation. As a result, we find that we have no way of orienting ourselves, nothing around which we may gather.
No common courtesy. No common cause. No common good. No common ground. No common sense.
Such is our lot when we yield to the instruction of fools…
LORD have mercy on us!
Good sense is a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.
My mother used to say, ‘somebody got to have some sense,’ implying that if we encounter foolishness we ought to be the voices of reason. I pray that we may be so!
Good morning, I love you all!
ihs,
just adam
