Every civilization that loses its vision of God eventually loses its vision of man. When people dismiss the Creator, they disorder creation. Once they reduce truth to preference and morality to emotion, chaos is not far behind. This is where much of the modern West finds itself — awash in confusion, yet proud of its progress.

The sexes are called into question. Family has become an outdated construct. Consensus defines truth. Our culture preaches inclusion, but practices hostility toward those who resist. The result is not liberty, but lunacy — a people enslaved by their own self-expression, chasing meaning in a world that has rejected its Maker. This is not enlightenment. It is rebellion — a forgetting of who we are because we have forgotten whose we are.

This rebellion, however, did not begin in the streets; it began in the soul. At the heart of the human crisis is a spiritual one. God’s order — revealed in creation, affirmed in Scripture, and fulfilled in Christ — gives coherence to all things. It tells us who we are, how we flourish, and what we’re for. But modern man has traded divine order for personal autonomy. We have become our own gods. When people remove God’s order from their hearts, every other order collapses: moral, familial, social, and civil.

We see this in the growing disdain for authority. They label hierarchy as oppressive, masculinity as toxic, motherhood as restrictive, and authority as abusive. But order is not the enemy of freedom — sin is. A society without hierarchy is like a body without a head: it may move for a time, but only toward death.

In this cultural collapse, the Church has an opportunity to stand as a prophetic witness — clear in conviction, tender in compassion, courageous with truth. And not only for those outside the church, but even to many of the churches that have instead mirrored the world’s confusion. Sadly, there are churches that have confused love with license, exchanged courage for comfort, and holiness for relevance. The social gospel has replaced salvation from sin with liberation from power structures. They talk about justice without righteousness, love without truth, and inclusion without order.

If the Church is to lead again, renewal must begin within her walls. It begins with repentance for its silence, its cowardice, and its craving for worldly validation. Truth is not ours to adjust but to embody and proclaim. Our witness depends not on adapting to culture but on preaching Christ.

To restore holy order, Christians must once again live as a countercultural people. This means:

• Revering covenantal structures.
  The institutions of marriage, family, and Church are not oppressive but protective. They are God’s chosen means of cultivating love, forming character, and preserving moral order in society.
• Honoring God’s design for humanity.
  Male and female are not interchangeable identities but sacred reflections of the divine image. The framework that allows human flourishing comes from God’s design.
• Resisting unholy ideologies.
  We must stand firm against the false doctrines of the age that redefine truth, distort justice, and undermine creation. The people of God are called not merely to defend truth but to display it

The decline of society is not the end of God’s story. The same Spirit who birthed the Church in a pagan empire still moves today. It is often in times of confusion that God raises up a remnant — those who refuse to bow to idols, who live with conviction when compromise is fashionable, and who shine with the light of Christ when truth is costly.

The time has come for the Church to stand as the last colony of divine order in a collapsing civilization and model heaven’s pattern on earth.
