“WHERE”

Today I am going to retype something that was in a newspaper years ago. Not even sure how long and what newspaper but I ask you to read it and think about it.

“WHERE DID IT ALL BEGIN?”

Let’s see, I think it started when Madeline Murray O’Hare complained she didn’t want any prayer in our schools, and we said OK…

Then someone said you better not read the Bible in School, the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself, and we said OK…

Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn’t spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped, and we might damage their self-esteem. And we said, an expert should know what he’s talking about, so we won’t spank them anymore…

Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave. And the school administrators said, no faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don’t want any bad publicity, and we surely don’t want to be sued. And we accepted their reasoning…

Then someone said, let’s let our daughters have abortions if they want, and they won’t even have to tell their parents. And we said, that’s a grand idea…

Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys and they are going to do it anyway, let’s give our son’s all the condoms they want, so they can have all the fun they desire, and we won’t have to tell their parents they got them at school. And we said, that’s another great idea…

Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn’t matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs. And agreeing with them, we said it doesn’t matter to me what anyone, including the President, does in private as long as I have a job and the economy is good…

And then someone said let’s print magazines with nude pictures and call it wholesome down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female body. And we said we have no problem with that…

And someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children and then stepped further still by making them available on the internet. And we said they’re entitled to their free speech…

And the entertainment industry said, let’s make TV shows and movies that prompt profanity, violence, and illicit sex. And let’s make ones that encourage rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes. And we said it’s just entertainment, it has no adverse effect, and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead…

Therefore, now we are asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don’t know right from wrong, and why it doesn’t bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with…” WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.”

If we think about our world there is much we could add to that including, violent video games, lack of the foundation of being planted in the house of the Lord and everyone focused on their rights and entitlements.

But I bring you good news: 

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Acts 16:31 (KJV)
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Will you join me in praying and seeking God for revival in the Christians. The true born-again believers can change the entire environment of the world we live in!

Are You His People?

Do You Believe the Word? PRAY!!

Father, what a mess we have made of the wonderful world you have given us and the desire you have to Bless us. Let each of us examine ourselves, repent, and pray. You promised to heal our land. Help us to understand we can reap the good we sow as well as the bad. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen

Be a world changer through prayer and action!
