Our readings in this series are from the book, Understanding the Times Here is a brief excerpt from page 67:
“Secular religion, with its twin deities of the self and happiness, and its meaner gods of experience, possessions, and position, has not proven to be a source of great hope and joy. As a generation, we are not achieving the continuous state of satisfaction and wellbeing we consider ourselves entitled to in a secular and material age.
“The use of anxiety-reducing drugs is on the rise. Consumer debt has become as American as apple pie. Relationships are frailer than ever. Our society seems more divided than ever. The bottom can drop out of our economy at any moment, and then everything we’ve hoped for and trusted in evaporates into thin air.
“In short, very few of those who have chosen the religion of secularism over that of the Bible seem to be experiencing the promise of lasting and complete happiness. What seems so right to them is proving to be a dead-end of disappointment. The religion of secularism is a failed faith.”
