Just before Jesus left the disciples to return to the right
hand of the Father, He gave them a number of commands related to their
subsequent ministry. One of them, recorded for us by Matthew in the 28th
chapter of his gospel, was to go into the world and, as they were going, to “make
disciples of all nations, teaching them all that I have commanded you.” Thus,
the disciples were to basically reproduce themselves by forming new disciples,
we could say they were to do so in their own spiritual image. This they did with great zeal for,
as we read in the book of Acts, their passion for spreading the good news of Christ
was unmatched in the annals of history.

Chaos and Mayhem
William Shirer, witness to what was the Third Reich and
author of the “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich,” once made an interesting and
insightful comment about Germans as they stood by watching Hitler and his rise
to power. “How did it happen that an ancient and cultured people steeped in
Christianity, cultivating the arts and sciences, preeminent in technology who
gave us Luther and Kant, Bach and Beethoven, Gorta and Einstein, collapsed into
savage barbarism in the mid-20th century?”

Busybodies For All!
The human mind is a fickle thing. It will become captivated
by just about anything whether worthy of such attention or not, at least for a
little while. The current political season is a great example of such a
tendency. It has been just over a month since Kamala Harris managed to bump Joe
Biden off the Democrat Party ticket, without winning a single primary vote, and
become the party’s new presidential candidate. As if by magic, overnight she
went from having an approval rating that was even lower than Biden’s (somewhere
in the 20’s) to quickly becoming the darling of the left. From being
disregarded and soundly criticized even by the leftist media, to becoming the
superwoman of everyone’s dreams.
