At the Olympics, we just saw the shocking results of teaching rebellion. The Last Supper was openly mocked. Marie Antoinette, the queen in 1793, in a picture that I won’t post here was ritually beheaded in a glorification of violence and a love of disregarding the law. https://twitter.com/i/status/1816904363769528547
Are we training our children with wisdom? Our kids must learn not to rebel but to gratefully build on what God has given us. We seek to reform our families, our churches and our civil government in terms of the Bible and in ways that are lawful. In the time around 1776 Americans loved God. We defended our churches, our culture, and our 150-year old colonial legislatures against a lawless king. Resistance was led not by a mob or self-declared authority but by our proper colonial governments.
The French Olympic organizers are glorifying an ungodly revolution. Besides the king and queen, 100’s of thousands were killed or mercilessly executed. The calendar was ended. 1789 became Year 1 as the revolution declared itself, and not the birth of Jesus, as the center of history. The week became 10 days. Each day became 10 hours. Church property in France was seized and used to back their inflationary currency. The altar at Notre Dame was replaced with an altar to man’s reason. All this was an effort to destroy all and start over.
The actions of the organizers this week remind me of Proverbs 8:
Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from Jehovah …all who hate me love death.”
Send your child to Oak Hill Christian School. In a world where many have gone mad, we’ll work hard to teach him or her Wisdom.
