Pssst… Lauren…

Cute little article you wrote but it fails to address the reason and is written in a secular tone via a secular mindset — worldview rather than a Biblical view.

Common sense evaporated from America, from the West long, long ago. Long before you were even born Lauren. It was rare fifty years ago. Let alone being visible presently.

Knowledge and technology may increase — greatly — but people, in general, have become dumber and dumber, more ignorant in the basics while vainly, foolishly imaging themselves so advanced and educated compared to those who came before them.

Why? Simple if believing, seeing, hearing, knowing — discerning well, wisely, and rightly dividing the Word of God.

Though resisted and rebelled against, refusing to acknowledge reality — we all are living, and have been for some time now, in Romans 1. The people have been given over to their reprobate, wicked, unrighteous minds. By God. For their persistent, open, and utter refusal to acknowledge Him, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the truth of His Word.

That’s why everything is as it is. 

Not much makes sense even when coming from most mouths in these times.

Almost all reason, logic, critical thinking, thinking period other than obsessing on self and the banality and insanity of this world, other than seeking and taking in as much pleasure as possible, almost all rational thought, morality, ethics, responsibility, accountability, honestly, and what mattered to most folks long, long ago have vanished from America, the West, and the face of the earth.

So obsessed with the extinction of a certain insect, a certain this or that — as common sense, and all of the above have all but become extinct among the people of earth.

Due to the evil and darkness in their soul, in their dead cold hearts. Because they refuse, resist, and rebel against God, against Christ, against the Holy Spirit, and against the Holy Bible.

They are the walking dead.

It can be seen in their eyes. By their words.

Why be cutesy and attempt to win favor, appease, and approach all these most important matters in a worldly manner when time is of the essence in speaking, writing, and living the truth?

Why not speak, write boldly of the truth? About sin, about evil, about hell, about the only way to salvation and eternal life, about the REALITY of what is and has taken place and what is to come rather than trying to be cute? Worldly? Being liked by the world?

There is a reason all the sensible things mentioned below have been twisted, perverted, abandoned, and have become extinct — all due to SIN. In serving Satan rather than God. In loving the world and lies more than loving God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the TRUTH, and the Word of God.

In Loving Memory of Common Sense

So much that is in today’s news seems to be the result of the absence of common sense.

Reprinted from The Stand

Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense (Proverbs 10:13).

Common Sense, age unknown, passed away on March 15 year 2020, in homes and minds all across the globe after a decades-long battle with humanity. He was a dear friend and disdained enemy to many. His presence was often described as a gift and a punishment. Mr. Sense worked much of his life, if not all of it, in service to justice as well as the keeping and protecting of mankind. In his spare time, he dabbled in keeping hands off of hot stoves and reminding us not to stick safety pins into electrical outlets.

For the greater majority of his time here on the big rock, Common Sense found that his job was uncomplicated. Boys were boys, girls were girls and if a man wanted to eat, he had to work. There seemed to be an unspoken gentlemen’s agreement between the parties. That is, until the man started to abandon his end of the deal, loosening his grip on the handshake. Slowly at first, then suddenly it was as if it were a race to see who could get to the finish line of stupidity the fastest.

Though it is impossible to know the date on which his sufferings began, it is clear that his condition rapidly worsened at the turn of the century. Upon the onset of Y2k, it was almost as if the ice had thawed and released just enough half-baked, mostly brain-dead Neanderthals to set about the decay of what was left of his relationship with the humans.

At first, it was global warming and “Happy Holidays” – light work. Common Sense, frail and fatigued, clung to life, holding fast to his duty to man.

Soon, students couldn’t pray in school, but drag queens could pop by for storytime.

Airline patrons were instructed to stand six feet apart in TSA lines; the same patrons who, just moments later, would be sitting elbow to elbow with each other in an ill-ventilated aircraft.

Children under the age of 18 can’t get a tattoo, smoke or vote, but they can permanently alter their bodies via sex-change surgery, without the consent of their parents no less.

Endangered species get billboards along major highways, but human children are being dismembered and having their brains vacuumed out of their heads in the name of health care.

A man cannot have a say in the issue of abortion without being accosted in the streets, but he can, however, pretend to have a uterus.

If a white woman braids her hair she is a racist, but a man is celebrated for appropriating womanhood.

We are supposed to introduce foods to our new babies one at a time to avoid allergic reactions, but at their two-month well-check parents are gaslit by the CDC to give eight vaccinations to their newborn in one sitting.

A pregnant woman should avoid eating sushi to keep from exposing her growing baby to mercury, but moments after birth that same baby is whisked away to be pumped full of other metals by way of the Hepatitis B and Vitamin K vaccines. Hep B, by the way, is most commonly a sexually transmitted disease or passed along by way of sharing heroin needles.

Guns are being banned for killing people, but spoons aren’t on the chopping block blamed for obesity.

The list is longer than there is space to write it.

Common Sense fought bravely, with a boldness that many do not possess. Ultimately his heart, aching and stretched thin, ripped right down the middle. It is certain that his absence has already proven catastrophic. We can only pray that the roots of his legacy are nestled deep in the hearts of those who loved him.

Mr. Sense was preceded in death by his brothers, Critical Thinking and Accountability. He leaves behind his father, Integrity, as well as his mother, Wisdom, though both are reported to be in poor health.
