Crisis

As the world gets more 'civilized', more modern, so do our way of thinking as well. It has developed from shut up and listen to independent thinking. This has brought us both good and bad to mankind. We know the good but lets look at the bad. This new ways of thinking has also developed new schools of thought@ modern life philosophies and it has in a bad way brought up a crisis among us. the crisis that that is in effect is the crisis of truth and relativism where truth is what u think is right, constructivism where new logic is thought over what u think is right. Compartmentalization where u life is divided and not connected - sort of physical split personality. culture of death as in abortion, euthanasia etc which is alright and finally the crisis of family life - gays, lesbians and divorcees. \\
As Christian or better said as Catholics because for protestants we r all saved d just wait to die and got to heaven provided we become their member. As Catholics being part of the bigger church is being challenged to live a life full of these crisis. The church is firm and strong as rock on its stand and doctrines and modern thinking condemns it as not being realistic. Modern thinking has shallow depth of knowledge and intelligence of people and has made them forget and more selfish cos they have become blinded to what would happen of their actions in the future of which the church has clearly seen and trying to stop it but could not hold it back all effectively.
As God has always reminded his people over the centuries through prophets and Jesus Himself the church is still doing so but people are just not listening.
The protestants on the other hand (some of them) are succumbing to the whims on humans and selling out the diving truth abandoning it tough some of them are following behind the catholic church.
I grew up knowing right and wrong and then i came out and believed there were lots of gray but soon i cam back to tell myself i cant live in grey matter! There is right and wrong! The divine truth if pure truth and its is not something which can be turned grey! the gray line is thin! not as broad as the sea. Lots of people dont see this and cant except this cos when they do they ego (pride with no substance) collapses like a wall of cards! There has no foundation built in people nowadays due to the modernization of mind so much so everyone fears to loose or loose out, fall. Malu! Unfortunately too many of them so they gang up make their own constructed relativism and life their truth and challenge the divine truth.
Protestants on the other hand run away from these challenges live in cocoons not going out there just as Jesus and His apostles did, keeps God to themselves and gives pittance in the form of their charity works to the community. But the catholic boldly and directly faces these challenges even with its own human weaknesses in it stand up tall and tells the world God's message. Wat beauty. Many would call it stupidity or foolishness.
Ask yourselves what would the world would become off in future? Who would stand beside us if not God and his church? How should we live in this world. Simple. Put God in life 1st.
