Radicalism, part 2
Is there hope?
A New York Times editor interviews random Americans about their faith. She wrote, "Many people who have no religious affiliation seem to have a dawning recognition that, in leaving faith, 'they threw the baby out with the baptismal water.'"
One of her interviewees, depressed and anxious, entered a men's Bible study. That led to baptism, and he recalled, "My mental and physical health improved dramatically." She says, "Millennials and Gen Z are discovering the deep needs of the human heart. We want to feel like life makes sense." Too bad Robinson and others aren't so inclined.
Ms. Cheaney: "Younger Americans have been told to follow their hearts and create their own meaning. But that is "really hard." Try impossible.
"A revival of religious longing stirs the young, restless and disillusioned," she says. "No trendy philosophy or political cause will satisfy. Two questions: What is God doing? How should we respond?"
If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? - Psalm 11:3. Cheaney: "The foundations are being shaken, politically, culturally, spiritually. It's hard to know what to think, much less do. Yet, The Lord is in his holy temple; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. v. 4
"These are extraordinary times of testing - not only for the world and its godless theories, but for the church as well," she writes. "Let the pure light of heaven shine through us."
Views: Did Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA have a role in this revival among youth? No doubt. And that's why a misguided Gen Z leftist did Satan's work for him.
