Nice article:
Americans have come to believe we are special. That things are supposed to be as we want them to be. We are mistaken.
A friend who will be teaching a class this evening asked me to lead a song Faith is the Victory. We sing "Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! O glorious victory, that overcomes the world" and then pout when things do not go as we prefer.
We're no different than the Israelites we so often condemn. As a rule one generation does not pass their beliefs to the next generation.
Your comments Misplaced Applause are right on the mark. We have lost the right to expect people to take us seriously when we protest Gay Marriages or whatever the name because we have so readily accepted immoral behavior of heterosexuals. Gay is no worse than adultery nor robbery, dishonesty, etc.
Christians lived in the pagan Rome we can live in pagan America.
Paul wrote, "Come out from among them, and be separate from them." We must get back to the Bible. We must as David did, remember the days of old; meditate on all that Jehovah has done and ponder the work of His hands. We must forget what lies behind and strain forward to what lies ahead.
Nice article…..
