Our Society

I am so thankful we have freedom of religion and I hope that is never, ever taken away. God, Himself, gave us that choice. HE gave us the freedom to follow Him, or not. We can choose to love, honor and follow Him, or we can choose not to. The problem is, we have taken that freedom and used it to make gods out of money, power, sex, drugs, alcohol, music AND ourselves. We have not only taken God out of our schools, we have taken Him out of our lives, our marriages, our homes.

We have become a "politically correct" society. We are not "allowed" to say "THIS BEHAVIOR IS WRONG". 

We try to fill a void in our lives, not realizing that void can only be filled with God Himself. Then we wonder, what is wrong with our society? Why do our children act as they do? Why is their so much ugliness? People need to open up their eyes, open their hearts and, OPEN THEIR BIBLE and READ IT. 

But think about this: when did this problem really start? It started in heaven, with Satan.  You don't think so?  "⁷ Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. ⁸ But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. ⁹ The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him." Revelation 12:7-9.  Let's not forget: ¹² How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! ¹³ You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.^{[b] 14} I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” Isaiah 14:12-14.  Now, read Genesis 1.  What's the main theme?  Creation - and everything God created was GOOD.  Then, go to Genesis 3.  What happened?  ⁴ “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. ⁵ “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”  Genesis 3:4-5. 

You can go on to Exodus and read about how God pulled the Israelites out of Egypt.  He had a beautiful country for them.  He promised them blessings if they followed Him and warned them of curses if they chose not to follow Him.  What did they do?  They went after other "gods". So, bad things happened.  Then they'd come back to Him.  God wanted to be their King.  But they wanted a human king.  You don't think so?  Read 1 Samuel 8. 

Better yet, read the whole Bible.  From cover to cover.  I know you might get bogged down in the geneologies, or the building of the sanctuary and all that went in it, etc.  But read the Bible anyway.  Ask the Holy Spirit to be with  you as you read the Bible.  The Bible is history.  It's a love story.  It's instructions on how to live, how to raise our children, how to treat others.  It's one adventure after another.  It's the Word of God.  The true God.  Our Creator and Redeemer.  

I AM BLESSED!!!

Keep Smiling!!  :)
