The baby in the womb was a human with potential, who was to be protected - today it is considered a potential human that can be disposed of without regard. Marriage followed the biblical model, which reveals "the Creator made them male and female, therefore a man shall leave his father and mother's house and be joined to his wife" (Matt 19:4-5) - today you are considered a bigot if you don't celebrate same-sex unions as good and holy. Then we all embraced JFK's famous words, "Ask not what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country" - today, a growing majority demand their Obama phones, food stamps, medical cards, housing assistance and welfare checks as entitlements owed to them by our nation.
We live in an upside down world not unlike the one Isaiah spoke of centuries before the birth of Christ: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter" (5:20). Our nation's felons have better accommodations than our troops and better care than our elderly. The worse your reputation becomes the greater your celebrity status increases. Engaging in sex, producing offspring and buying a house are pre-marital activities, if marriage is entertained at all? Need I go on?
Some see all this as freedom and enlightenment, but it is in fact slavery and darkness promoted by the Prince of Darkness. Just look around at our bulging prisons, empty factories, failing schools, corrupt politicians, mindless mass murderers, crushing debt, rising anger.... Tell me again how free and enlightened we have become.
We've been standing on our heads long enough. It's time to dust off our Bibles and get back on our feet. We need to turn our country upside down again so we can become once more, right side up.
Jus' Sayn.
