The only Way for the totally lost

The violence and looting that has been seen in North and East London is symptomatic of a lost generation of young men full of anger and frustration, devoid of moral reference points.

They have walked around with chips on their shoulder, not knowing the love, discipline and exampleship of a father, not knowing the discipline removed from the education system, not knowing what it is to hope in getting a good education, not knowing how to control wayward hormones and emotions that have stewed in a quagmire of fornication, drugs and the constant demonic input of the media.

Growing up in a benefit state, with a false sense of entitlement and a perverted perception of what it means to be ‘respected’, these young men just needed an excuse. The people gathered at Babel just needed the fear of another flood and those who called for greatness; the thousands that followed Christ into Jerusalem just needed seventy religious leaders to turn their cheers to cries for execution; the men of Benjamin just needed a plan and the right opportunity to turn into kidnappers and rapists.

Given the circumstance, whether fostered over years or a matter of days, the human heart has the ability for great wickedness. Humanity is totally lost, and those who are totally lost will cling to the first person who says that they can show a way. Let us pray that these events will cause local councils to seek a method they’ve never tried and open doors for the Way to be preached to those who laugh in the face of man’s authority.
