Time of good becoming fashionable

[Greenfields]

They say fashion repeats it’s self…sometimes I wonder if the secular world will tire of bad being “in” ,cool,
and it will become fashionable to be good ,having a clean image,church going , having good morals…
What do you think,will bad ever become boring ? Will good be “in”?

One might say the secular world has already tired of some of its bad behavior. At least in the USA, no one thinks that drugs or promiscuous sex are particularly “cool” things to do anymore. They are more like stuff that people do, or go through a stage of doing, for one reason or another, but a lot of the people participating in those activities are not enjoying them when they are doing them. This is a big contrast to the 1970s when such activities were actually considered trendy, cool, “brave new world” stuff.

Ah that’s very interesting to hear.Over here large outdoor music festivals are pretty common, some of them huge that go for a few days.They include a lot of drugs and new age stuff ,occult is kind of promoted there,so I guess even if the ‘recreational’ drug stage moves on the other might be there to stay.

I suspect it’s more that different sins become “in.” There’s a bit in Screwtape letters where he suggests that the Devil’s tack is to have Christians rail against whatever sin is the least issue in the audience. Lecturing cowards on the dangers of foolhardiness, for example.

It depends on your definition of good. I see the devil’s wiles in widespread sexual sin, the culture of death (abortion, increasing euthanasia), the collapse of marriage and the family, the disdain for religion, and more greatly increasing over the last 20 years. Like many I think we are coming to a boiling point of self-destruction. I hope and pray that God’s mercy will somehow intervene to help people come to their senses. I trust that it will, but not before the tragedy of many lives.
I am greatly encouraged by the younger generation (so many at the Pro-Life Rally!) who, as all young generations, are full of the hope of change–in this case for the better.
