I was meditating on why there is so much dirty-mindedness or low-mindedness amongst those who professed to be believers in Jesus Christ in the UK and Scotland. Still don't understand it. Without wishing to sound overly critical, (but probably will anyway!) in my experience of rubbing shoulders with all different kinds and colours of Christians, many who say they are Christians in the UK and Scotland are just so low, so base. So what's with all this stupid and degenerate thinking? Aren't Christians supposed to be the 'light of the world' as Jesus described in the bible? I began thinking a little more about that word 'base'. and decided to look it up in the dictionary to see exactly what 'base' means and this is what it says:-Webster's 1913 dictionary:
Base - Morally low. Hence: Low-minded; unworthy; without dignity of sentiment; ignoble; mean; illiberal; menial; as, a base fellow; base motives; base occupations. A cruel act of a base and a cowardish mind.21Here are the synonyms to the word "base" from Webster's 1999 dictionary: Synonyms: BASE, LOW, VILE mean deserving of contempt because of the absence of higher values.
Hmm, what a way to describe a man or woman who professes to belong to Jesus Christ, the Son of God who died on the cross for us all - and is holy and pure in every way.
