SPIRITUAL INSANITY

   As you open your eyes and look across the world today, what do you see?
   As you watch television or read newspapers, what do you see and hear?
   As you watch the leaders of governments today, what do you see?  What are they saying?
   As you watch the leaders of religions today, what do you see?  What are they saying?
   As you open your eyes and look across the world today, what do you see on the faces of people?
   What are people doing?  What are people saying?
   When was the last time you saw children playing, and laughing, and having fun?
   When was the last time you saw people walking in a park without looking over their shoulders because of fear?
   When was the last time you saw people walking the streets of cities at night to "window shop" without the fear of being attacked, mugged, robbed, or raped?
   When darkness falls, we gather our kids off the streets or out of the front lawns and lock our doors.
   When darkness falls, we lock our houses, lock our cars, lock our businesses, and even lock our churches and religious institutions.
   When was the last time you saw a president, king, queen, or any government leader weeping?
   When was the last time you saw a minister, preacher, priest, rabbi, or pope weeping?
   The leaders of government want us to believe that government is our god and that government knows best what is best for us.
   The leaders of religion want us to believe that religion is our god and that religion knows best what is best for us.
   Collectively, government and religion want us to believe that they will take care of us all the days of our lives and even to give us a place in heaven.  If this is true, why did government and religion not do this six thousand years ago and for all of the years that humans have dwelt upon the earth?
  So then, when was the last time you heard a government or religious leader talking about the love of God? 
   Probably never.
   In truth, the whole world is suffering from spiritual insanity, for the whole world has lost its mind, gone crazy, and should be in a psychiatric institution because the love of God has been deprived from people because of the leadership that stands before us in front of our eyes.
   In truth, the devil stands in front of people, thus preventing people from knowing the love of God.
   The devil is also standing in government and in religion, thus preventing people from knowing the love of God.
   The devil stands to divide people from people, nation from nation, and he stands to divide families from families, husbands from wives, and children from parents:  so that we are at war with one another instead of being united with Christ in a war against Satan.
   Without the nourishment of the love of God, people suffer.
   The solution for this madness, this spiritual insanity, is---and has always been---Christ the Lord.
       For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten God, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  (John 3: 16)
