I cannot leave our topic recently called WHO IS ON THE LORD’S SIDE? without addressing the development of what is coined CANCEL CULTURE. Thousands of years ago, the prophet Hosea obliquely gave the foundation for this manifestation in our generation when he stated: “For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.” (chapter 8:7) What starts small can potentially reach duplication, multiplication and ultimately divisive lengths and when we turned our backs on God’s Word and made it impossible to keep checks and balances in our society through our godless laws even cancelling the primary caregivers for children called the parents, we must then not be surprised at the whirlwind effect it will have upon future development. The attitude adopted is if they do not like me for any reason or what I am saying, then they will cancel me/us out, and if they hold a position of power, God help us all.
How often did we hear the phrase spoken from kids to parents: “You cannot touch me or I will take you to court.” Personally, I thank God for loving parents who put the “board of education on my knowledgeable backside” in a totally loving manner ridding me of certain demons early in life, but having stated that, look at what we are facing today. Young people who go to universities where they are supposed to be intellectually developed but are so narrow-minded that they are stupid enough to believe that Israel are the genocide perpetrators while Hamas are the victims in the recent conflict. If we sow to the anti-biblical posturing going on everywhere in the world, we will have a generation of young people emerging where they will cancel out anyone who disagrees with them. Technically, that is called anarchy and is part of what was spoken of as a sign of the last days we are currently living in. (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Thank God for people who are addressing these students on campuses even though they are subjected to much abuse.
