It's apparent and proven, History repeats itself. Man cycles in everything. We rise and fall with ideas and our searching’s concerning God and Faith. This has happened since the beginning.
Once the cycle goes the direction of what many feel is the "Bad Direction", hitting rock bottom, someone will find the Law that is lost, and Man will try it again. Everyone will get excited and dance and repent, doing things like they’ve never been done before. Then when the Revelation loses its vigor because one promise after another is broken, and the "Idea" didn't pan out as dictated or guaranteed, that Generation will drift away into another realm of exploration.
I don't really think this a bad. It's just who we are. We've always been this way. At least we're consistent.
This is why I believe the Mercy of God is needed for all time. Children born into a certain era didn’t have one ounce of say in the matter; no choice. If you or I were born in the Dark Ages, tough. If you were born during the time of a great uprising to feel and seek God, count your blessing. Either way, the season which a man or woman is born is not left up to them. Poor, rich, blind, powerful, or powerless, life is unfair in the material and physical circumstances that we will inherit when we take our first breath.
Much of this fall or change has to do with Spiritual Pride. We make bold claims and deride past peoples who didn’t stand a chance, leaving them for the pit of Hell. Our arrogance strangles the life out of us, and so, the Church becomes a dry and empty place because Mercy has abated into nothing but a word. Our attempts at Faith reach into a void where the well no longer satisfies and people feel it’s time to move on. No sense in trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip.
Sometimes we just have to hang on for the ride! Stop trying so hard.
