Christ is risen!

In the heady days of the Enlightenment in Europe, the elites and the educated were convinced humanity had turned a corner away from the silly superstitions of religion and towards the “mature” and “enlightened” attitudes of the materialistic world. Science would lead to a “Golden Age” of human reason, and all this silly talk of God, miracles, and resurrections would be abandoned as we humans grew up from the childishness of religion.

That elitist, short-sighted arrogance sounds familiar.

The famous French philosopher, Voltaire, once said, “A hundred years from my death, the Bible will be a museum piece.” But a hundred years after his death in 1778, the French Bible Society set up its headquarters in Voltaire’s old house!

Now, society is tearing itself apart, having seen the unintended consequences of “de-enchanting” the world through mere materialism and rampant secularism.
