Consensus is diametrically opposed to truth

I just read an amazing blog post entitled "More truth about Wikipedia" by Tim Challies. In this article he analyzes

the negative side of the Wiki model. Tim says that "At the heart of the wiki model is a new conception of truth—truth is what we agree upon." This article is a great commentary on how Wikipedia is a refection of our the culture as a whole. Challies reminded me of the importance of analyzing trends in the society, this is a very interesting and useful practice. We must never assume something is good before thinking about where it comes from and what its goals are. This article is a bit lengthy but its definitely worth a reading. So if you still haven't, go read it.

Mom Convicted After Locking Son Out of Facebook (Responce)

Facebook is not only making headlines about privacy or technological progress. Dan Fletcher from Time Magazine writes about an surprisingly strange occurrence. A mom "was convicted on a misdemeanor harassment charge, receiving a $435 fine and mandatory parenting and anger-management classes, according to the Associated Press, as well as a 30-day suspended jail sentence to be served only if she violates provisions in her year-long probation." What was the reason for all this?
Was it some serious crime? No, it was for the simple act of locking her son out of his Facebook account. Granted that neither mother nor son acted  Biblically (see Associated press version); this court ruling is a sad reflection on our society's loss of parental authority. Parents have Biblical mandate to bring their kids up in the fear of the Lord, and children are commanded to obey their parents.This is God's clear and simple design -- which sinful humans have managed to corrupt for centuries, but never to such an extent.

May these kind of articles encourage us to think about the coming of our Lord, and to pray for the salvation of sinners before that glorious day.
