Mark Sayers, a mate and man of God whom I admire and respect, has started blogging again after an absence of many months. Mark is well known for his particiaption in the Red Network, but even more so for his book and DVD “The Trouble with Paris”, and his ministry with the UBER Ministries.
Recently Mark wrote something that I totally resonated with. In his post, “The Politcal Incorrectness of a Non-Judgmental God”, Mark writes,
Hell sure ain’t cool these days. The idea of a post-death judgment of our actions here on earth is repugnant to the western 21st century citizen. Suggesting that after we die that we may be held accountable to our actions during this life, will not bring cyber-hugs from your list of facebook friends. The concept that God has set up a system of justice in our universe, and that some people may chose the path of evil and thus renege their place in the coming kingdom, simply does not wash with modern post-modern post-post-modern sensibilities.
I totally agree with his post that we have become desensitized to evil and also assume evil is represented by demons and the like on TV and the movies. I have often commented to my wife after watching a horror movie with a demon or monster in it that we don’t need monsters such vampires, werewolves etc in reality (ala Supernatural) as there is evil personified in much of what Man does to one another — in fact who needs monsters when Man can be a monster?
