Collapsing Western Culture

“In the United States of America, our traditional, Western, Judeo-Christian culture is collapsing. It is not collapsing because it failed. On the contrary it hs given us the freest and most prosperous society in human history. Rather, it is collapsing because we are abandoning it.”
~ William S. Lind

Pretence can never endure

Here is a quote I’d like to share.

“For men who think that they can secure for themselves unshakable glory by pretence and empty show, by dissembling in speech and countenance, are wildly mistaken. True glory takes root and spreads its branches too; but everything false drops swiftly down like blossom; and pretence can never endure.” – Cicero

God has created each of us special….. Let’s not compare ourselves with another, lets be exactly who God created us to be. Pretence can never endure.

Great Quote

Here is a quote I would love to contribute to our Church & Empires class.
It’s from the early church father Tertullian and is taken from his five-volume work Against Marcion. In this quote Tertullian is of course contesting Marcion’s Gnostic docetistic notion.

“You may, I assure you, more easily find a man born without a heart or brains, like Marcion himself, than without a body, like Marcion’s Christ!”

“The greatest gift that God in His bounty made in creation, and the most conformable to His goodness, and that which He prizes the most, was the freedom of will, with which the creatures with intelligence, they all and they alone, were and are endowed.”
~ Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)

All history is incomprehensible without Christ.
