I see it. I see it. I see it. I finally see what is happening in the world. Actually, I don't see the whole big picture yet, but every once in a while, I get a piece or two of the puzzle, and I put the pieces into the puzzle and get a little big bigger idea of what the big picture is supposed to look like.
My question has been, for ages, why is evil making progress in society? A bigger question I have is, why isn't anyone stopping this evil from progressing, especially since we have the tools to do so?
A partial answer to these questions is explained in two words; apathy and indifference. I think if we knew that God was going to destroy the world tomorrow by allowing a meteor to hit, we wouldn't even pay attention to the message. We would make our plans for Disney, the beach, the mall, or whatever the vacation is that strikes our fancy.
So, here's what's going on in our country. Are you paying attention? We have people out there who are making up cases that sound very plausible, but some of them sound silly to us. But what is happening, is that these 'cases' are becoming statutes. Let me give some examples.
In the 1970s, Madeline Murray O'Hair went to the Supreme Court and was able to somehow legally get prayer taken out of our school systems. The supposed law that somehow went into effect, was something to do with the 'Separation of church and state' which ironically is nowhere in the Constitution. Yet, I bet if you ask those who are studying to become attorneys if the term 'separation of church and state' is in the Constitution, you will get a resounding 'yes'.
The ball is in our courts, so to speak. What I mean by that is simply that we have the power to stop these kinds of things from being acted upon. Since there really is no place in the Constitution where there is a 'separation of church and state' clause, it would have been easy to disprove. But, do you know what Christians were doing when this was happening? Nothing. No one cared, really. I remember talking with one, and the attitude was, well, this will just help people to talk more at home together. NO, we needed to go to the court system and oppose Madeline Murray O'Hair with her supposed law that she made up and brought in to the court system. Obviously, those in the Supreme Court did not oppose her either. Their hearts were saying the same thing. 'Get prayer out of the school system'.
So, some territory was taken away from us. Are we concerned yet? Do you realize how many people today believe that the Constitution guarantees separation of church and state? Do you realize how many people are acting upon this as if it were true? And this is just one of many examples of things that are going on today, yet, we never challenge these things when they go to court. Why?
Today, in some schools, a teacher is not allowed to wear a pin that says I love Jesus. In some schools, students are not allowed to read Bibles. In some textbooks, the authors have a Muslim slant to what is taught in the book, giving Islam credit for things that Islam is not credible for. One kindergarten girl was praying and she was reprimanded by the teacher. These kinds of things are happening all over our country. The amazing part is, no one cares. No one is challenging these people. We are the moms and dads at the PTA meetings? Do they know what is going on? Do they realize that their children are required to read books like, 'Heather Has Two Moms"? Do they realize that their children could be suspended from school if they carry a Bible with them? Do you see what is happening? Are you concerned? Do you realize that it is in your power to change the course of all of this?
Here is how these things happen and take root: Listen carefully please. Someone makes a case out of something. It could be a simple thing, and out of that case comes a belief system relating to the law. An unwritten law comes about. For example, I could make up a law, and tell others about it as if it were true, and people would believe me. I could say, every dog that is loose is required to have a collar on and a name tag. I could tell all my friends about this 'law' and they would assume it is true. No one would probably research what I say to find out if it is really a true statute or not. The same is happening all over America today. People are spreading rumors of what they want to be true, or what they think should be true, and we assume it is true.
I was just looking at an article describing how a Kentucky Fried Chicken place is not going to use their hand wipes any more, simply because someone believes the hand wipes will offend Muslims. The hand wipes have alcohol in them, and I guess Muslims are resistant to using alcohol?
I guess if we want to be careful of not offending people, we pretty much would have to go into our homes and find a closet to live in and never come out. But, my question is, is there an agenda behind all this? Could it be that subtly, those who embrace Islam are behind a lot of these supposed and man made laws? Could it be a form of infiltration based on Muslim thinking and scheming?
I think Islam is behind a lot of what we are doing and believing in our legal system today. I also think that Liberals are doing the same thing to promote their cause. If Liberals get their way, they will take more and more freedom away from the people. They will gain power for themselves.
So, the point is simple. Don't assume something is legal or illegal simply because someone promotes it. Also, don't stop at that, but when the principles laid down in Scripture are being violated, let's challenge those who are lowering or changing the standard.
God is still God and never changes. But God does want us to be responsible citizens. Instead of being apathetic and indifferent when people go to the Supreme Court to bring a case that will break God's standard, let's challenge them. Let's challenge those who are creating new cases that will eventually turn into laws for people to use to promote their evil agendas.
If we would have challenged Roe vs. Wade, perhaps we wouldn't have to spend so much time arguing with people about abortion. Perhaps people would have a clearer understanding of what is right and what is wrong.
Where did this idea come from which states that a woman has a right to her own body? This 'law' makes no sense. First of all, none of us has 'rights' to our own bodies. If we did, then taking drugs would be ok. Having sex in whatever we way want would be ok. Pedophiles would be doing what is right for their bodies. How far are we going to take these laws, and why are they going unchallenged?
They are going unchallenged because we do not have eyes that are seeing God. Go to Isaiah 6, and you will see a man who was changed because he got a glimpse of God. The world is in darkness, and they will not see God. But why do so many Christians not see God?
We live out and talk about what we love. I am around Christians all the time. Much of what they talk about and live out has nothing to do with God. But they are enjoying vacations, cruises, beach trips, music, TV, movies, books, food, entertainment, parties, Disney, clothes, sports, games, videos, internet, Facebook, dating, social events, gambling, and a ton of other things. Where is God in all this? Where is love for people in all this? Where is love for church? What has happened to us?
