I firmly believe we as a civilization in the realm of religion are moving into what could be called the New Dark Age.
The Word of God will not be held from the people by the church and its
leaders.
The Bibles will not be chained in church buildings and kept
from readers.
No, the Word is now and will be in the future set aside by
how people feel about their religion.
An important passage of Scripture says, “So then faith comes by hearing
and hearing by the Word of God” (Romans 10:17). The modern paraphrase
that fits what is happening says, “So then faith comes by feelings and
feelings by the experiences of man.”
More and more God’s Word is ignored
and twisted so that man’s sentiments prevail over God’s revelation.
There are many reasons for the New Dark Age but it is upon us.
This
means that preaching the Word is “out of season” but it still must be
preached.
