THE ONLY "OLOGY" GOD WANTS

There are 282 English words ending with "ology," which informally defined is a field of study or academic discipline ending in the suffix "-ology." Such words are formed from Greek or Latin roots with the terminal "-logy" derived from the Greek suffix -λογια (-logia), meaning "speaking." Not all words ending in "-ology" are "ologies" in the above sense. In some words such as "autology" and "haplology" the "-logy" suffix is from the Greek λογος, meaning "word," and denotes not a field of study but a type of speech or writing.

If I have not put you to sleep with my boring introduction, I would like to make a few comments about some of the words in the list of 282, and some which were not counted. While I attended Seminary, I studied the Bible (Bibliology), God (Theology), Christ (Christology), the Holy Spirit (Pneumatology), angels (Angelology), man (Anthropology), sin (Hamartiology), salvation (Soteriology), the Church (Ecclesiology), and the future (Eschatology). For all of those, I am truly grateful, because they grounded me in the ten most important subjects in the world. I have studied these, but unfortunately, those who control our government apparently have not.

It seems they prefer Psychology with its "I'm Okay, You're Okay," Sociology with its "All Societies and Religions are equal," Archeology with its denial of biblical cultures, Geology with its "millions of years" dating of the Earth, Biology with its emphasis on evolution, Embryology with its "life begins at birth," and Astrology with its ridiculous assertion that the stars can predict the future. And how can we forget Climatology with Al Gore running loose, or Criminology with its bleeding-hearts who argue against making the lives of criminals miserable? Is it any wonder we have abortion on demand, children out of control, political chaos, gay marriage, legalized gaming, a drug epidemic, a collapsing economy, and politicians who would rather cut entitlements than manage a balanced budget? For the record: ENTITLEMENTS ARE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN EARNED! To reduce them or do away with them is blatant larceny!

There is only one "ology" that born-again believers and the God of the Bible want to hear: an APOLOGY! Man has turned the truth into a lie (Rom. 1:25), the natural into perversion (Rom. 1:26-27), has called evil good, and good evil (Isa. 5:20), and professing themselves to be wise, they have proven to be fools (Rom. 1:22). Instead of worshiping the Creator, man has chosen to worship created things (Rom. 1:23-25). And sadly, many professing Christians have been duped by Satan and his "ologies" which turn them away from serving the resurrected, living God!

UNLESS HUMANITY APOLOGIZES TO GOD AND TURNS TO HIM, THEY ARE DESTINED TO SPEND ETERNITY SEPARATED FROM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: JESUS!
