THE TANTRUMS ARE WINNING (NOW)
I was in the car, waiting for Martha while she was in a store. As I sat there, I heard a child screaming at the top of his lungs. There was a man, woman and child (about 8 years old) on the sidewalk. The child was lying on the ground, screaming, kicking, and spinning himself in circles. At one point he got up and started to attack the man, bent over like a bull attacking a matador, acting as if he was going to bite the man. The man was backpedaling and running from the child, apparently trying to avoid a vicious bite. When the boy eased off from his attack, the man went down the sidewalk. I watched the boy continue to throw his fit.
I admit, I don't know the condition of the child. However, it caused me to think of the condition of our society today. If people don't get what they want, they throw a tantrum. This tantrum throwing is actually changing our society, rewriting our history, reshaping our values and attacking our morals. It is not the person with the best arguments or the legitimate claim on something that is winning their point today. It is the loudest, most obnoxious, meanest, most violent and least tolerant people who are now determining our society and our future.
Sadly, when the brats and bullies are in charge, the civilized and reasonable people are victimized. God has appointed both the State and the Church to stop such anarchy, but they surrendered their position of authority into the hands of selfish mob rule.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
(1) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
(2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
(3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
(4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
(5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
