EVIL IS GOOD

We’re living in an age when it seems most people do not know the difference between good and evil anymore.

There is no more good. There is no more evil. Everything is homogenized into the middle. Everyone has so-called rights to be as profane and sinful as their imagination takes them.

We, as a nation, didn’t get here all at once. It’s been a slippery slide downward since the 1960s. There was a time when you could say prayer in school: now opponents have demonized God in the classrooms and declared that prayer in school violates separation of church and state.

Our founding fathers never thought that.

There was a time when drunks were sinful; now they constitute a disease.

There was a time when same-sex physical relations was sinful; now it’s a lifestyle choice.

There was a time when most college campuses held the Bible in high esteem; now educators discredit it as unreliable and relegate it as a fable.

There was a time when people honored men and women of Christian faith; now they’re despised.

On the international stage, Iran’s leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defiantly denies the holocaust against the Jews ever occurred; then why is he given the honor of speaking at the United Nations?

President Barack Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize, not for having done something laudatory, but for political reasons – essentially because the Nobel Committee sees Obama not as a staunch defender of the country, as was President George Bush, but as an internationalist – as one who will gladly dismantle America’s superpower status and reject American exceptionalism.

Take a good look at the political scene today and you will see politicians brazenly speak lies before the news cameras: and the media doesn’t investigate the truth, but simply reports on what the politician says is the truth. Even worse, is when the news media takes on an agenda or a cause; like man-made Global Warming and reports it as truth, or Congress’ socialization of America and reports it as if it were glorious.

Does anybody see anything wrong in this culture where any diabolical lie and evil-intention gets equal authority with truth and righteousness? Truly we’re living in a time which the scriptures denounce:

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

(Isa 5:20 ASV)

America's Christian Heritage

It's somewhat distressing to hear a president deny America's Christian heritage. It is simply so untrue! Unlike no other nation, the United States was founded by people with a strong belief in God. And this is reflected in our early documents.

It's not only a shame and disgrace, but immoral and a total travesty, that modern education attempts to discredit our nation's true history.

A modern-day hero, attempting to rewrite what has already been rewritten about our history, is David Barton. He runs the Wallbuilders website, which details America's forgotten, but accurate, Christian heritage.

He appeared on Mike Huckabee's Foxnews TV program tonight, recounting some little-known Christian aspects of America's history.

There are Lights in the Media!

Well, this is really wonderful. At a time when it's unfashionable to be a Christian, at a time when the media has ushered an onslaught of anti-Christian rhetoric, it's really refreshing to hear a member of the media talk about God as if He was real and to bring a message of hope to a troubled world from the scriptures.

This is Glenn Beck, a conservative commentator from Fox News, reacting after the tragedy of a gunman killing 13 people at a Upstate New York Immigrant Center in Binghamton, NY.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if all news commentators reflected on the news using the scriptures for moral clarity and for determining the signs of the times through prophesy?

NEWT ON ANTI-GOD BIAS

It didn't take long for the media hounds to take hold of that YouTube video (previously mentioned and shared on this blog -- see below) of Alaska Gov Sarah Palin speaking at her former Assembly of God church in Wasilla, Alaska. In essence, ABC's Charlie Gibson takes her to task about her faith in, and statements about, God; in relation to the war on terror.

But thank God for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. In the above video, Newt puts the whole episode in perspective, during a recent appearance on Hannity and Colmes. Newt, the articulate historian with keen insight on the the world's scene, was always my top choice for president.

His grasp of U.S. history puts Palin's comments into proper context. Watch this video and see just how much we as a nation have grown disdainfully towards God.

REDISCOVERING GOD IN AMERICA
By the way, I have an autographed copy of Newt's book, Rediscovering God in America. In it, Newt takes the reader on a tour of historical monuments in Washington, D.C. And there's no escaping it: God has always been a big part of our nation's history. It's so unfortunate that so little of the truth about God in American history is known in our school's today.

But I did my part! I gave a copy of the book to my friend's twelve-year-old and suggested that he read that book for a book report. And, he did a great job, getting a good grade.

Now how do we get that information into the hands of all schools?
