Hegomen Bishoy, ISIS is a CULT! not people of principle!
"The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. ... For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish." Psalm 1:4,6
Preaching of this type is very dangerous
“Do you want to live as a normal person? … You study, work, get married, have kids, and die? … live like any regular person? … What’s your legacy? The change you will impose on the world? ”
The problem is in basing the value of your life and your existence, on having a direct and clear role in your community, your church or the like … or in other words … assuming that if you are not a leader, or if you are not an outrageously distinct, then all your accomplishments are unneeded, And even your life and your presence are worthless!
It is a form of psychological deficiency called “discounting” or “deduction” … which is the other side of idealism or “Perfectionism”.
You find the people affected by the sermon (and I was one of them), having a contemptuous look on their lives … Eh, I’m just like everyone else?! … studying like everyone else? … working like everyone else? … having a family like everyone else? … where’s the excellence? … where’s the value?
The questions are followed by even stronger questions: What am I doing in this world? where’s my value? If I’m neither a leader nor distinct, what’s the need for my existence?
Of course, very strong introduction to depression!
