Choose You This Day Whom You Will Serve With
In the biblical worldview, the state, a temporal institution, serves man, an eternal being. Thus, government is limited in power, scope, and purpose.
In the progressive mind this is reversed: man, a temporal being, serves the state, an eternal institution. Thus, government is unlimited in power, scope, and purpose. The state becomes, as it were, an object of worship.
Finally, theistic worldview strongly influences how each of these groups respond to news. As familiar as I am with the God-hating Left, I have found them breathtakingly vicious in this crisis. They have blamed Trump for the virus; they have blamed Christians; they have leveraged the crisis to advance sordid agendas; and they reject any good news while attacking anyone who speaks optimistically.
They even attacked Mike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow, who revamped his factory to produce much-needed face masks. Why? Because he thanked Trump and God at a White House briefing. Can you imagine having these people in your fox hole?
