I've Unsubscribed From The Philosophical Gamer

 “They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.” (1 John 4:5, KJV)

(This is neither an exposure, nor an endorsement, of Dr. Phil.  Is he a worldly figure?  Likely.  But this is not the point of this post.)

After The Philisophical Gamer's latest video, titled "Delusional Boomer Dr. Phil Thinks "Gen Z Is Lazy"", I'm done.  He agrees with the Gen Z lady on the Dr. Phil show in that "you should go towards what makes you happy".  Honestly, I don't know anywhere in Scripture where you are to seek happiness in this life, correct me if I'm wrong.  

Also, what "fear tactics" is she talking about?  What?  Work or get fired?  Where's the context?

It is obvious that the "heroes" of this video seek worldly things, I get the same sense of the American Dream trope time and time again, and that is of the world.

Is the American a pile of garbage?  Most likely.  Inflation has been a kick in the pants for us all.  Yet, for most of us, we still live WAY better than we did hundreds of years ago.  Most of you can eat, right?

 “But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.” (1 Timothy 6:8, ESV)

The point is this:  Yes, the economy has not caught up with the standard of living.  Yet, for the past 70 years, America has always had high standard of living, and perhaps they are too high.  For believers for whom this is not our home, the standard of living is indeed too high.

“For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.” (Hebrews 13:14, ESV)

So, I am unsubscribing from The Philosophical Gamer, because what he seeks is of the world.
