Put on Your Thinking Cap
The Christian Life
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.”~ Hosea 4:6
I understand there is a Christian radio program entitled, “Let My People Think.” It’s about time someone in the Fundamental and Evangelical circles spoke out on this issue. There is a tremendous need for this today. Christian thinkers in our age are a dying breed—rare specimens that are fast becoming extinct.
When there’s over-lording leadership in a church, family, or country, people are discouraged from reading or hearing other opinions. They are taught to listen only to the words of their leader. Hitler was an expert at this.
Whenever you find this type of cult mentality, what reading habits you are allotted are limited. That is, only that literature which is approved by its leadership. Any other writings are frowned upon. In such situations, you must pledge your undying loyalty, and never question the hierarchies authority.
The object is to keep God’s people in the dark (like in the Dark Ages) and ignorant of any other position than that of the dictator or cult leader. I remember a pastor saying to me, concerning the preacher boys I have trained, “You trained rebels.” My reply was, “No, I trained thinkers, and they are a threat to all tyrants.”
May God help us, His people, to take up the thinking caps He has provided for each of us, and put them on again. And use them for the one express purpose for which they were given: to think for ourselves. A thinking people are a free people, and only ignorance brings bondage.
