PUTTING GOD ON THE MARGIN

It used to be–at least early in my lifetime, there were few that disputed the truthfulness of the Gospels or their origin. In fact "Gospel Truth" was commonly used for describing the degree of truthfulness. No more. We live in a new age.

One thing that this age could be called is an age of information. Computers and the internet have created a global access and market for information and ideas–and done it on an exponential scale.. Personally I find that exciting. All this information resource and the marketing of it has opened an access to vast new horizons. Now there’s a forum to share the good news of Christ on a world-wide scale. Also these blogs are really a God-send. They enable a writer to share the Gospel in a deliberate and logical way–and offer it in bite-size portions.

However, there is a dark side–I don’t mean porno. I believe the widening horizon and the availability of comparative religious information has shrunk some people’s faith in the truth of the Gospels. I believe this is from marginlizing God and the Christian Walk.

So no more do people use the phrase "Gospel Truth. Perhaps that is an indication of where the American culture is now a post-Christian culture or even a return to the Roman pagon religious state.

I wonder if this present age isn't kind of a transition age.

Some schools are producing a political class that could easily classify Christianity as a hate-crime
