Why is nothing sacred anymore?

In todays society we have trivialized everything, nothing is sacred or Holy anymore:

Sunday's are just another day since blue laws were abolished.

Abortion/Murder of the unborn is looked at as women's health rights.

Pastors are no longer held up as a symbol of Righteousness.

Families are treated as a group living together.

Dad's and men are portrayed as buffoons who can do nothing right. Effeminate and passionless.

Christmas is now a major shopping day instead of Christ's birthday.

Thanksgiving is nothing more than a prelude to the shopping season.

The fourth of July is no more than a day off.

The Church the very house of God is nothing more than a place.


Why is this? How have we got to this point? The magnitude of this neglect is going to be felt forever here in America. We have raised generations who do not relegate anything to the sacred level.

We are specifically told in the bible of several things that are to be kept Holy.

Once we threw the Word of God out of our schools we stopped teaching anything as Sacred or special.


If nothing is ever special then how do we know what ordinary is? How do we know what happy is without sad? or up without down? Hot without cold?

We must have our Holi - days so that we remember what is sacred and pure. We must have days and times set apart to remember and reflect.

We must have people who we revere - police, pastors, teachers, firemen, missionaries, evangelists etc.

Instead we have a whole nation of people with no one to look up to and no one to pattern themselves after. We have a government trying to set itself up as our god. We have a nation adrift, ripe for the taking.


Exodus 20:8-10KJV


8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.


9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:


10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:


We are to Remember the Sabbath to keep it Holy. The Sabbath was not created for God but for Us. To give us a day of rest to be thankful and to worship the Lord our God who gave us All. It was set aside as a day of reflection, praise, and worship. We have lost this in our society today.


Luke 22:17-19KJV


17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:


18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.





19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.






Here Christ tells us to take of the bread and of the cup in remembrance of Him and His Sacrifice for us. He knew that we must remember these things or they will fade in memory. We are to make these things special so that we know, we remember, we celebrate the Sacredness.


We must get back to keeping things sacred, setting them apart and making a special event, a special time, a special thought.


We, in our modern "wisdom" feel we know more than all the generations before us. That they were backwards and provincial. I believe we are dumber because we fill our heads with nonsense.


Whereas in the "provincial" times all they had was the Bible and time to reflect on their Creator. Time to teach their children a work ethic, time to spend setting an example. Sunday church was an event. They had clothes set aside for that day specifically.


Nowadays we have preachers in the pulpit in shorts, jeans and no tie.


They had all day services of fellowship, food, and family. Now we can barely get out of bed for an hour and just try to get the kids up!


We need to get back to Sacred. We need to re-establish the Specialness of certain things.


We need to re-emphasize the Holiness of the Holidays. The Sanctity of the Sabbath. We must do this before we lose all remembrance in a foggy haze of familiarity.
