The Status Quo

Quote of the Day

7/17/2005

“Someone, somewhere, decided upon a monumentally debilitating and eventually fatal life and religion maxim: ‘Whatever the most people do’ is the standard by which everything else is judged. Very seldom are the issues of life truly weighed in the balances of the Word of God. You see it in what is ‘acceptable’ in clothing, haircuts, speech patterns, what ‘church’ is, how we should raise our children, and a thousand other topics. Instead of making our decisions based on the Word of God, we are often hypnotized into conformity by fear of men…or laziness. Most will spend their short lives simply parroting the world’s ways, and heap a wee bit of out-of-context scripture on top of men’s ‘wisdom’ and traditions in a vain attempt to sanctify the status quo.”
