How Low Can You Go?, part 2

An exposition of Judges 19-21

You’ve probably never heard an exposition of Judges 19-21, perhaps the most lurid, brutal, disturbing, bizarre passages of scripture.

Pitirim Sorokin described the sensate the culture as one that believes true reality and value is sensory. That’s why in our age people think their feelings trump facts and reason and are the ultimate reality.

The question isn’t whether we’re declining. Of course, we have. The question is, ‘what comes after this?’. How low can we go until things fall apart in a sensate culture? The center cannot hold because there is no center, everyone is centered on their own feelings. What comes next? Chaos? Mere anarchy loosed upon the land? Or dictatorship,? Or revival? A great awakening?
