When you read the Levitical laws, a lot of those laws were designed to set God’s people apart from the world around them. Many ceremonial and cleanliness laws went to outward appearances that could visibly identify God’s people. Today, those laws do not apply to Christians, but the moral law is still binding. That law sets God’s people apart from the rest of the world. The peace and joy of a Christian’s life in turbulent times draws people to them. As the west moves beyond Christianity, we are not arriving at something new but returning to something very old. And the Christian moral law is the best way to stand against that old paganism rearing its head again.
I get the concept of tattoos, say a loved one or important things, but today there just seems to be a bizarre obsession with them. Why would one cover their entire bodies with them? Is it low self esteem? Do these people actually gaze over them daily in admiration so that they feel good about themselves? I don't see how this would help them so it seems like a sickness. The same goes for piercings. I get ear rings but what does a nose ring do for you? Those were designed for beasts of burden. Neal Boortz used to say that no woman ever became more attractive with a nose piercing. I know that may be considered misogynistic but it's actually true.
I never rejected my Christian religion, but I had enough growing up. Where I screwed up a bit, and I suspect there were thousands of baby boomers like me that did the same, is that I failed in the discipline to make sure my kids attended church and got the same. Thankfully my kids found their own way to belief in a Christian God, but many of their peers are spiritually deficient and substitute their spiritual gaps with radical ideology.
Because I am far more conservative than Erick, there are many things that I simply do not agree with him on. But this is not one of those things. I can neither add nor subtract a single word from this segment. I think this is as pure an exposition of truth and reality as I have ever heard on radio. We battle not flesh and blood but principalities and powers of the air. Thank you for this Erick. I am going to play this segment for others.

Best explanation for the collapse of the collective West in real time. And technology and a "sophisticated" military will not save it.
Paganism always reduces to worship of oneself.
Well said. Thank you.

Amen Amen All of us should seek the Lord and he will be found.
