“Yeah, man, peace, make love, not war.” I think the Hippie movement of, “love the one you’re with,” got it all wrong. They got God’s message to love one another wrong. He meant agape, to love selflessly or unconditionally. The sacrificial love of Christ is an example of the love God wanted spread throughout the world. But the Hippies chose to make it into a sinful action. Love turned into making love or having sex, freely with anyone. It degraded morality, dishonored the elders, ruined long term investments for short term gains, and the beat goes on.
That isn’t the kind of love that God wanted spread throughout the world. The movement was selfish, immoral, and evil. Yet many people say that they have great memories of that era and even to this day celebrate those years.
For the seven thousand, who didn’t follow that path, you are probably concerned about how the next generation fared because of this path that was ushered in during the 60’s. Society went in the wrong direction, greed, lust, immorality, social agenda’s that are against the laws of God. It ushered in the greatest era of greed, divorce, infidelity, and immorality in society.
I believe that this is the year for the 60’s to be redeemed. God is giving us a second chance to share the love he wanted to during the Hippie movement. His unconditional agape love, but with morality, justice, and kindness. It is a selfless and sacrificial love, but not at the expense of giving people free rein to live any kind of life they want. We are to return to the God’s laws, the Ten Commandments. A society of telling the truth, being authentic, living morally and righteously. He wants us to love with His kind of love.
Jesus came to give us an example of what love is. The story of Christ is a love story. Let’s return to the love God wanted us to live by. Let’s rewrite the 60’s love story and make 2024 a new generation of love.
Join our movement to rewrite the love story of God. If you are a by product of the 60’s pray for the younger generation that they will know the true love of God, through Christ our Savior.
