Well, enough is enough!
I have been pondering literally for years when to speak out publically on this topic and share what has been on my mind, and today is that day.
The term ”white privilege” really isn’t what we have been made to think it is, and yet there are some people who do behave badly. Today, it seems that many people like picking on white men because these “accusers” and “finger pointers” have bought into a lie. Do the majority of men behave badly though, as some seem to believe? Admittedly, I am unsure, but I can assure you that many men I know, who are true followers of Jesus Christ, strive to behave well and want to be good and right and true. They want to teach both their sons and their daughters how to become Godly. Admittedly, we run into resistance from those who want to deny God and His ways because it’s really not us they have issues with but with God and His ways.
Make no mistake my friends, the “Me Too” and “Feminist” movements are not about living out good, Godly ways and serving God or following His leading. They really are all about self, which is really cloaked in a form of godliness and denying God’s power. See 2 Timothy 3:1-7 to understand what to do with ideas like this. Focus in on verse 5 to really see how to deal with these sorts of things.
“But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.” (2 Timothy 3:1-7)
Before you or someone you know accuses me of denying the fact that bad things happen in this world, I would encourage you to not read what I am not writing. I never claimed bad things don’t happen in this world. They do happen. We live in a world that is fallen. It has fallen from the perfection that God had planned from the beginning, and many seem to want to defy and even deny the God of the universe and His good and right ways. All the while, many attempt to steal their capital from God and attempt to claim the moral high ground for themselves. They really are doing nothing more than the warning that Paul has given us as believers in Christ in 2 Timothy 3:1-7 above. So please stay attentive, friends.
In fact, if you are really willing to see the truth, we are definitely living in a day and age with people like we see in verses 6-7: “They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.”
Please, not only keep your guard up but pray for your spiritual eyes to be opened to the truth of the matter.
Enough is enough, and it starts with you and with me. Get your spiritual “house” in order today. We need to speak out and live out the truth in love in all that we do. Do not keep silent! Friends, we have been raised for such a time as this!
