We are not that unique

I love this statement from Mark Lauterbach:
I do not think we live in times that are all that unique. I do not think post modernism is all that new and different. I do not think that relevance is found in cultural cleverness. I think God is always relevant because he is unchanging. I think humanity is basically the same in the depths of our existence. I think we remain a race of people corrupted by sin and fundamentally opposed to the humiliations of the cross. We are only able to see and believe by grace.

I agree. Only narcissism leads people to believe that they are living in unique times.

The greater the collective narcissism, the greater the feeling that we are somehow more special than the billions that have gone before.
