REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR

 

REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR

  It is important to remember events . . . and the lessons therein. This is a pedagogical Biblical principle. (Jn.3:9-10; 2Tim.2:2, 14)

  Pedagogy may be interpreted as the ladder rungs of educating; Precept upon precept. Beginning with learning the ABCs of any topic being the primary example.

  I’m concerned that the lessons inherit to “remember Pearl Harbor” are no longer in the tidal wash of many in the American consciousness.

  Serious? Yes. But not so serious as the USA present day paucity of knowledge of Scripture. A knowledge that at one time contributed to protecting us from being duped by “Wonderful Bible quoting politicians”. Politicians, and some preachers and tele-evangelists, that manipulate an unknowledgeable congregation by twisting, fragmenting, misquoting, misapplying, non-contextually speaking God’s Word. A marketing ploy in appealing for the Christian consumer afflicted with consumption to buy their wares.

  And so it was with the courteous smiling Japanese diplomats speaking of and selling peace in distant Washington D.C. as the Rising Sun warplanes roared toward far and away Pearl Harbor. (And attacking the Philippines and elsewhere.)

  Beware! Be Biblically equipped. Recognize the ploying.
