What is this post about?

I want to do this post a little differently then the others. I've written out an article on a certain topic. I eliminated any words that would automatically reveal what I'm talking about. Essentially, this is an ambiguous post. Your job is to figure out what the topic is. Comment and tell me what you think. Here it goes...

When I consider that great beast, I wonder who could have composed it! What wrong ideals, brought forth from laziness and inexperience, could be forced upon a creature who needs no prodding in such a matter.

Sadly, these ideals are not ones of merit whether good or bad. For they are the ideals of no-ideals. Yes! It is a lack of teaching; a lack of care which is our problem. This does not take away the reality of sin. Sin is at the heart of the matter (namely pride). But it does reveal a great responsibility for the latter party. Not just the responsibility of preventing trouble but also the responsibility of creating a higher standard.

Where one starts, or, whether or not one can even begin to imagine taming a sin-infected being are very good questions. Both have, I’m sure, been considered by many a struggling person. The answer is quite simple. The true beginning, after everything is torn away, is with the heart of the struggling one in question. Have they committed to something higher then themselves and their earthly achievements? For earthly achievement can only take the passion for teaching and reproof away. Instead of focusing on those poor impressionable creatures, the latter become consumed in what needs to be done for earthly comfort. They must, instead, determine to abstain from earthly obsessions for the sake of a mannerly and moral, future generation. This determination can only come from their very depths: the heart.

Though abstaining is a worthy and noble cause, the process can not be left merely to that great defensive tactic. One must then bring himself to act offensively. Fill that great void with a very noble thing: Simply, the armor of God. With truth and its example, one can only prepare to end victorious. With righteousness and its example, one’s pure motives before God along with that wonderful gift, prayer, will leave the person joyful and ahead in the race. But don’t let me forget that most powerful article of war, faith, which God has given to us for the ultimate victory. Without it one can’t even hope to get through the gates of heaven. Through it one can endure those difficult times where teaching and reproof are dire but least used.

Though many more things could be said on this topic—hundreds of books have been written on it—I believe I should end this writing now. It is enough to contemplate for years to come. So spend some time turning over how you will act when your time comes.
