Let’s ask the judges for a definition before we proceed. “1: lack of voluntary control over urination or defecation, AND 2: lack of self-restraint” OK. There you have it. The very definition of why there’s an incontinence choice problem right here in the once greatest nation on the planet.
Yes, I said incontinence choice.
Even though the first definition of the word incontinence mentioned it’s a lack of voluntary control. Because the emotional incontinence of modern society is out of control. But certainly not involuntarily. “Clean up on Main Street, Stat!”
Have you seen how many “adults” rant like little spoiled brats in public places? And the rants aren’t limited to certain income brackets, ethnicities, culture differences, or basically any other demographic. It seems just about anybody can make that incontinence choice at the drop of a feather.
And it sounds silly to even talk about it. Because it should be fictional. But if you’ve ever read the Bible, and I mean really read it, none of this should surprise you. After all, Paul mentions how people will be incontinent in the last days. In fact, he talks about a lot of bad traits we’ll see during those perilous times.
So, obviously you and I are still living in the “Bible Days.” And I know you’ve witnessed more than one person who fits one or more of these descriptions:
- lovers of their own selves
- covetous
- boasters
- proud
- blasphemers
- disobedient to parents
- unthankful
- unholy
- without natural affection
- truce breakers
- false accusers
- incontinent
- fierce
- despisers of those that are good
- traitors
- heady
- high-minded
- lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God
During my time as a praise and worship music minister, in a church in Colorado, I wrote songs based on some of the pastor’s messages. And one of those messages was about how people say they’d like to go back and visit places during the Bible days. The pastor thought that was kinda humorous because…
These Are The Bible Days
I’m no prophet, but God can work through me.
Willing servants are all He wants to see.
We can learn from the past, the apostles,
and all of their ways,
But we live in the here and now, and these….are the Bible days.
Lord, our small hearts are full of love from You.
Help us know what You’d rather have us do.
Help the sheep hear Your call in this world that’s so full of strays.
As it was when Your Son arose; still these…are the Bible days.
When darkness falls…These are the Bible days.
Temptation calls…These are the Bible days.
When right is wrong…These are the Bible days.
The weak get strong…These are the Bible days.
Till every mountain sways, till every debtor pays,
Till every helpless, hopeless, sinner prays…
These…are the Bible days.
There’s no difference when going first to last.
Lord we need you like generations passed.
Give us strength for this life and help us always focus our gaze
With our eyes on the Prize because these”
are the Bible days.
Chorus
These…are the Bible days.
These…are the Bible days.
