Remember the Laughter

We’re in the minority gentlemen. The world has figured out things that we can’t know in our narrow-minded Christian worldview. We believe in a fairy-tale and they believe in proven facts. We’re stuck in the stone-age using an ancient book as authoritative while they are moving forward to bigger and better things. The world gives others the freedom to live as they want to live and do as they want to do and we’re prudes who want to impose our beliefs on others.

Is there any hope for Christians? Where is God at a time when the world is throwing stones at His name and His reputation? It seems we’re outnumbered and outsmarted. But let’s step back and think about some of these things that our world is saying and put them under a slight microscope.

1. You are an absolute idiot to think that an animal was made by Someone. Yet, you are respected if you think that an animal mutated from mud. You really don’t even have to believe that, you just have to say anything but “God did it”. “We don’t exactly know how the first life-form made it to earth, but we’re positive that God didn’t do it.” Well I guess that makes sense to the world.

2. If you think there is an absolute truth, then you are insane. The only absoute is that there is no absolute. Doesn’t logic have to enter somewhere into the conversation? Let me make it clear, my way claims that it is the only way. Therefore, you cannot believe that I am right and you are right. Somebody’s got to go to hell. Because of the teachings of my King, I must reject whatever you say that contradicts what he has said. If you’re right, I’m going to hell. If I’m right, you are. Don’t miss the point I’m trying to make: We can’t both be right.

3. Christianity suppresses women. If Christians had their way women would never have any fun, they wouldn’t work outside of the home and they couldn’t be pastors, and they couldn’t run for president. But thanks to the feminist movement everything is great in America. Premarital Sex in down, Divorces are down, and children growing up without parents is down. All False. I’m sure that the feminist movement has righted some wrongs that were done in the past, but the attitude that it has produced must catch some of the heat for broken homes. Feminists will not allow a biblical family. A woman submitting to her husband is unacceptable. So now, instead of a Husband looking out for the family, there are now two heads, and those heads clash.

4. Virginity is out. How can you expect to live life to the fullest without having sex with more than one person in your life? It doesn’t take you long to figure out that life is mainly about getting some. Watch MTV for 10 minutes. Watch every sitcom, drama or reality TV show and you will see something that draws your mind to our ultimate goal of having sex with whoever we can. You can’t even watch a super bowl without seductive enticements. Where has this landed us? Now, we can justify killing another person. If you get pregnant with a child, just head down to a local clinic and they can murder it for you…and it’s perfectly legal.

It seems that Psalm 2 is right, “the kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his anointed.” As unintelligent as popular opinion has become, it seems that people would rather die and go to hell than to give any kind of credence to Christianity. The world is against us, what can we do?

For one thing we can read the rest of Psalm 2 and find out how God responds. Do you think that the Lord is in the heavens biting his fingernails? Verse 4 says that he laughs at this kind of action. This does not worry him. It’s like an ant marching up to the owner of the Dallas Cowboys (Jerry Jones) and telling him that his team can’t play on the field anymore because the ants were on it first. No matter how much he threatens Jerry Jones with his army, Jones will simply laugh.

So in times where you recognize how outnumbered we are, remember the laughter. There is coming a Day when our Lord is coming to right the wrongs and clear his name.
