8/19/2024 The Repaganization of the West and the Judgment of God

Preacher:
Passage: Jeremiah 52
Service Type:

Is the West, as is in Western Civilization under the judgement of God? Jeremiah 52 tells the story of the final destruction of city of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 BC. But Jeremiah is also clear that this was God’s judgment on the nation of Judah. Which begs the question, “Why was Judah judged?” The answer is for the sin of idolatry. Idolatry is hard for us in the 21st century West to wrap our minds around. But the truth is that the West, starting with the Enlightenment, has rejected God, and now is returning to the ancient gods of our pagan past. The West is repaganizing before our eyes. It is for us as the Church to look to our past to see how the early Church lived faithfully in the midst of a pagan culture, which increasingly looks like our future.
