I know my blog is usually devotions. Good that it is. The focus should be on the Lord. But sometimes we need to see where we live - the Bible calls it "walking circumspectly." So I'd like to share with you a little of how un-Christ-like thins are today.
Scanning the headlines of my two favorite Christian Internet News Networks (CNSNews.com and OneNewsNow), I found the following headlines. They aren't much individually, but taken together, they can tell a remarkable story.
- Morning News Shows "Promoting" Democrats, Study Finds - this should be a "no brainer, but I suppose seeing it in writing establishes the fact. We all know about liberal media bias. This just shows how "in your face" they can be.
- Controversial Arab School to Open Next Week - do you suppose a local government would also sponsor a Christian school? Not hardly! I guess we should just hand our nation over to the Muslims and be done with it.
- Anti-gay Remarks Cost Mayor His Seat on Tourism Board - Of course this just means that the homosexuals get to run our country while everyone else moves over. I guess it's not just the Muslims who want our nation. What's going to happen when the Muslims and the Gays have to duke it out for power?
- Lesbian Could Head Episcopal Diocese - So the mainline denominations have finally and completely put their Bibles away and decided that they want a religion rather than a relationship with Jesus Christ. The homosexuals love that. It's old news, but one "priest" has even said that she's both Christian and Muslim. I suppose this is a political move to keep her priesthood when the Homosexuals and Muslims start fighting for power. Either way, her job is secure. She's embraced both - for now!
- California Teacher Offended by 'Manipulative, dishonest' NEA Tactics - the educators of America are united in their secretly destructive philosophies to ruin our children through immorality, smut, and the homosexual agenda.
- Holiday Inn Dumps Christian Banquet; Group Says "Anti-Christian" discrimination at play - Just one more way to put down the Christian and promote the homosexual agenda.
- Illinois School Pushes Smut on Children - Is this really a surprise (See NEA above). But making this smut a requirement for summer reading - it's no wonder the homeschool movement is growing in our country.
- TV Ministry Watchdog Calls Televangelists' Divorce Terrible Testimony - and so do I. The attacks on Christians by unbelievers is strong - yes - but so are the attacks on the family by the unseen world. It almost seems like the enemy is winning. Fortunately we know the rest of the story. I only wish that so many people would not be put in doubt by these unfortunate events. This is why holy living is so important.
Some might think some of these stories to be a bit exaggerated. However, the sheer number of stories like this tell us that there is something bigger happening than any one of these stories tells. There is a spiritual darkening moving across the land. Christians need to not only live holy, but speak boldly. There is only one hope - Jesus Christ!
