Pretending There's No God

II Kings 22-24

What if we pretended there was no God?  That’s today’s story.  After years of staggering along like a stoned ballerina in The Nutcracker, the children of Israel stumbled upon a Bible.  It’s read to all the people.  It’s beauty spreads like buttercups across a spring field.  But it’s too late!!!  At some point they had crossed over the line of no return.  The sobering truth is that God will not always tarry with a people. The hearts of the people have long since died, the fertile rich soil turned to salty flats.   There’s something we should all remember: it’s never to late until it’s too late and then it’s too late.

The horrors of a country that decided to pretend there was no God.   Too bad we can’t pretend the consequences!

Post Script:  A good contemporary look at this scenario is the movie, The Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington.

still from The Book of Eli
