Current events always surprise us because we are not omniscient, nor can we see into the future. Then again, there are certain things happening in the US that I thought I'd never see in my lifetime. Some are silly, many are irrational, some are threatening and dangerous to the body politic.
Some of these events or developments are unpredictable in the sense that, as noted, we are not Nostradamus, not prognosticators. But many of these developments are predictable outcomes of a shift in moral understanding and values in American culture. As Scripture said, it's what comes out of a person that defiles him, and this is what we're witnessing now. For more Christian commentary, check my website at rexmrogers.com.
