A Sign of our Times

If you have a clue, it is clear that our society has officially embrace rude as a natural expression of who we are. All of this stems from a man-centered thinking where we are at the center of things.

3 things this week to verify this:

1. Serena Williams at the US Open
2. Joe Wilson - Republican yelling out during the President's Address
3. Kanye West at MTV Awards

I have a suggestion to us all. Shut up! We are not the center of the world.

God has a few suggestions:

James 4:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.

Proverbs 12:8 A man is commended according to his good sense, but one of twisted mind is despised.

Proverbs 16:5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished.

Who wants to live in a society where respect is gone? As Christ followers, let's not get caught up in this.
