Introduction   “…Do not steal. Do not take advantage of one another…” Leviticus 19:11, 13   There’s a not so quiet kind of injustice happening in modern life—and folks it ain’t happenin’ in back alleys, but in the fine print of our utility bills, ATMs, and online payments.

Introduction It happened in the early to mid-seventeenth century, in Europe, and gained momentum and spread from there ever since. A switch is what happened, from a decidedly Jesus Christ-honoring dating nomenclature to a decidedly Christless, profane one. Why?

I.                       Introduction   This is not a doomsday sermon; it is a wakeup call sermon. A warning shot has been fired across the bow. It is just a warning we think.

A couple of interesting asides to tuck away are the following: as a noun “nato” in Greek can mean the curiously misleading “one who is gentle” (lamb-like), the antithesis of the violent military alliance the acronym form connotes, and in Latin “nato” can mean “bare/birth/give birth” as a verb (from the root GENNH), and “begotten/birthed”
