Metro Voice News Celebrating Faith, Family & Community
Is it possible our world has gone mad? We are in crisis, under siege, and the war is not from without; it is from within. The collapse of the Roman Empire occurred in a single generation and was not so much the result of invasions by their enemies but the result of moral decay and internal corruption. Similar patterns are emerging in America. We neglected or abandoned our traditional institutions long ago, but now it is time to take them back.
In Hope for This Present Crisis Dr. Michael Youssef provides a diagnosis of the insanity of the current culture and a seven-step prescription for restoring sanity to a world gone mad. Here’s the seven-step path to restoring a world gone mad:
- Remember the Truth: Stand firm on the truth of the gospel.
- Restore the Soul: Seek God’s approval—not the approval of other people.
- Revitalize the Family: Guard your children from the horrors of the internet.
- Reestablish the Classroom: Support conscientious, caring public schoolteachers.
- Respect Our Freedoms: Know your rights.
- Reform Our Society: Morally and spiritually purify yourself.
- Revive the Church: Demonstrate the forgiving love of Jesus at all times.
According to Youssef, “Forces are at work to strip the principles and precepts of faith from public venues or minimize their significance. Many progressive leaders are convinced that when Christianity disintegrates, it will create peace on earth. But the loss of our heritage will merely create a spiritual vacuum that will be filled with folly, crammed with chaos or invaded by Islam. The reality is: Western civilization will become so decadent and reckless that America will collapse like a house of cards.”
