England Goodbye, Then and Now

 

 A Timely Reminder to Look to Christ

      Back in the 70s, a song titled "England Goodbye" captured the turmoil of the nation through the lyrics of Malcolm Wild and Alywn Wall. The song wasn't just about political and social upheaval; it was a poignant commentary on a society turning away from God and the consequences that followed.

      While the song's focus was on England's struggles, its message resonates powerfully with the world we inhabit today. If we look around, it's impossible to ignore the widespread troubles plaguing our planet – conflict, division, moral decay, and a pervasive sense of unease. And while the global stage provides a stark backdrop, we don't need to look far to see the signs of a world losing focus on God. Our neighborhoods, our schools, and sadly, even some corners of the church, bear witness to this drift.

The Consequences of a Godless World

      The message of "England Goodbye" serves as a timely reminder that neglecting our spiritual foundation has consequences. It's a truth echoed throughout history and in the scriptures. When we turn our backs on God, we inevitably lose our way.

      Think of the biblical story of Peter walking on water towards Jesus. Filled with faith, he took the initial step. But the moment he diverted his gaze from Christ, doubt crept in, and he began to sink. This powerful image mirrors the predicament of our world today. We are like Peter, called to walk with Christ, but too often, we allow distractions and worldly concerns to steal our focus.

Returning to a Christ-Centered Life

      The solution, then, is clear: we must return to a Christ-centered life. We must prioritize our relationship with God, placing Him at the very core of our existence. This isn't about a fleeting moment of devotion; it requires a conscious, ongoing effort to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, to seek His guidance in every aspect of our lives.

      This journey won't be without its stumbles. We are human, after all, and we will falter. But just as Jesus reached out to Peter when he was sinking, God is ever-ready to extend His hand to us in our moments of weakness. He is our constant source of strength, our refuge in times of trouble, and our ultimate hope for a brighter future.

A Call to Action

      The world, much like England in the 70s, is in dire need of a spiritual awakening. "England Goodbye" may have been written decades ago, but its message continues to hold relevance. Let us embrace this timely reminder and recommit ourselves to seeking God's guidance and living a life centered on His love. By keeping our eyes fixed on Christ, we can navigate the troubled waters of this world and find the path to true peace and lasting purpose.

Skeletons in the closet

 But can they dance?

      I made this video many years ago with an FX program I was trying for my son William. I told him if he didn't clean his room that the skeletons would come out of his closet in the middle of the night and scare him into cleaning his room.........It didn't work. We all have skeletons in our closet, But the real question is "Can they dance?"
