There has been a
recent brouhaha over the lyrics “Don we
now our GAY apparel.” Apparently,
the word “gay” has become too offensive for even gays. Hallmark recently promoted a message that
said “Don we now our FUN apparel” in
an apparent attempt to play up to all sides of political correctness. This strategy back-fired big time, as they
succeeded in riling up both the LGBTQ community as well as the Christian
community. Alas, the Bible tells us how
it goes when you try to remain neutral on all sides. You get vomited out of both.
However, perhaps
the American Lexicon has indeed changed?
Is gay no longer gay? If a word
or a song no longer suits us, do we have the poetic license to rewrite it much
like the SuperBowl Coke commercial that sang “America the Beautiful” in a
variety of foreign languages? I propose
that this same bastardization of meaning has also occurred with the English
word “Love.”
Two times this
week, I received an email message from a well-respected Christian
organization. The first one asked me
pray for abortion doctors so that they might experience more of God’s love,
mercy and kindness. The second asked me
to pray for Kathleen Sebelius so that she might experience “the goodness of
God.”
Much like the
Hallmark re-write of long standing Christmas carols, this is Christian
political correctness gone mad. If these
well intentioned intercessory requests mean we are to pray for even MORE restraint
of God’s hand of correction, I humbly believe we are praying in defiance of
God’s will. Should the WWII German
Church have prayed for
God to allow more time for Josef Mengele and Adolph Hitler to change course? How many more innocents would have died in
the Holocaust? History allows us to the
unique opportunity to see the end result of looking away from innocent
slaughter.
Even a sinful,
imperfect parent knows that a completely undisciplined child will eventually
become a sociopathic, tyrannical brat.
Based on recent court rulings which have so far overturned almost every
sensible abortion restriction, we, as a country, have not shown one iota
of Repentance on the Sanctity of Life according to God’s Holy Word.
Activist judges
have also overturned the will of the people in several states that have defined
marriage as one man/one woman. Our court
systems have become an oligarchy…America is now ruled by a handful
of “elites” just like Kathleen Sebelius.
Yes…there have
been “pockets of repentance” but the law of the land remains the same:
Americans can still get an abortion WAYYYY past any known
definition of “viability” if they are willing to travel and find the right
doctor. If you don’t believe me check out
this vile website openly advertising abortions at 28+ weeks in the second and
third trimesters:
To the highest
levels of our government, including the President, the Supreme Court and much
of Congress…the slaughter of innocents is sanctioned and protected as a
Constitutional Right. It appears that
soon we may create gay “marriage” as another protected “right.” Strike Two.
This discussion can go on ad nauseum but Jesus called us to
rightly discern the times we are living in:
He
replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will
be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in
the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You
know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the
signs of the times.
~Matthew 16:2-3
Here’s God’s definition of LOVE. This is the type of LOVE that I pray Kathleen
Sebelius and abortion providers will soon experience…
Those whom I love I
rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
~Revelation
3:19
Americans are about to see the other side of God’s love…the disciplining
side.
And no…
The gaiety of the
tambourines is stilled, the noise of the
revelers has stopped, the joyful harp is silent.
~Isaiah
24:8
Gaiety is the most outstanding feature of the Soviet Union.
~Josef Stalin
Prayer:
Almighty
God, Creator of Heaven and Earth. It is
indeed a privilege to come before you in prayer. Let us not mistake our intimacy with You and
Your Grace as a perpetual license to continue in sin. Help us to recognize that while Your Love
endures forever, Your Patience is coming to an end for those who oppose your
commands. The blood of innocents cries
out from the ground day and night demanding justice. Please set the captives free, O Lord, and set
Yeshua as the plumb-line once again for our nation. Amen
