For all two of you read my blog you should know that I devour most articles that Carl Trueman puts up on the Reformation21 blog. We'll lady and gentleman, he is at it again.
He gives a brief synopsis of what it means to make committed decisions in our world that has elevated the ability to choose as the highest human right. This has many problems but let me just give you a few quotes to stir your appetite for destruction:
"To Lead is to Choose."
"...if it is true that this generation is addicted to the cult of choice and of keeping all options open, is it not the case that this generation is ill-equipped to hold any position of leadership?" And I would ask this as well. Because you have to commit to lead and in a generation that will make no enemies how can this be done?
"Of course, there are many other aspects of our culture which point to this reality of emotional retardation. The compulsive need of some to be liked, to the extent that any criticism of them generates visceral and personal responses speaks of a deeply insecure and immature section in our culture."
"The man who has no enemies has no honour." However, the problem with this Presbyterian saying this, is that he makes excuses not to make reconciliation. It is true what he is saying, but, if we are not careful, our humility will go out the window as our enemies grow.
Read the article, its really good.
