So there's a possibility I'm going to step on some toes with this post. And I might offend some people reading this. But there are just some things that I feel need to be said, so without further ado....
If you hadn't heard already, Minnesota, my home state, passed the marriage "equality" law today. It's pretty much all I saw on facebook all day today from old high school friends and teachers, and while they're all celebrating I'm grieving. Grieving the loss of morality in our country and grieving because we have turned our backs on God. Grieving the loss of an absolute truth, because guess what folks? You can't have one thing be true and then have the exact opposite thing be true. Relative truth is a lie. Either 2+2=4 or it doesn't. But 2+2 can't equal 4 and 6 at the same time.
And tt's not just this. It's the media blackout on the Gosnell trial and the 55 million babies who have been murdered since Roe v. Wade. It's the young children being tried for the murder of a parent or a sibling. I look at everything that is wrong in our country and a part of me asks why? Why is this all happening?
But then I remember: SIN. This crazy weather? Yep, sin is the cause of that too. Our planet, the one that God created specially for us, has been slowly dying ever since the Fall. And we are dying too. Slowly but surely, humanity is dying a very painful death and it's so hard to watch. Mankind is so blinded by the desires of the flesh and by our own self-righteousness. We are so wretched and broken without Christ. It is time for this nation to get down on it's knees and repent! Christians, we need to pray for our country harder than ever before and we need to stand up and fight for the things we believe in! The time for wishy-washy Christianity has come to an end. Love your neighbor, yes, but loving them doesn't always mean taking the easy way out. Oppose them if you have to, but always follow Christ's example and love them first.
Jesus, thank you for the promise You made in 2 Chronicles, that "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." We are on our knees before You, humble, contrite and repentant. We seek your help and your guidance, Lord. Help us to become the nation we once were, dependent solely on You for our every need. Bring revival to our land, Father. Help us to stand for the things that are honoring and pleasing to You.
In Christ's Name we pray, Amen.
