On-going moral problems
We American Christians know through the Bible's perspective that we face moral choices each day, each hour and we will for the rest of our lives. Yet the media, some churches, some government spokespeople think that the ME, stem cells, illegal immigration, civil rights, minimum wages, are all new moral questions. They are not. Haven't been for nearly 60 years. The fact that few Americans see rightly about the on-going evil of personal and national sin is very disconcerting since we think, write, believe that somehow America is a moral nation. And it is on some questions. Still, when we hear nothing about personal responsibility, about God's warning against unreformed sinful natures, about the necessity of undergoing transformation from the grace-love-and blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ we Americans risk depression and loss without understanding the cause of those feelings and perspectives. The fact is, more and more churches are failing to teach the good news and the bad news of the Gospel of Jesus. Oh, we get alot about love and claiming God's blessings, but not much on repentance, service, trusting and obeying Jesus' Word and surely not much about the ongoing problem of internal personal sin as well as international sin. Fortunately, there are some brave preachers, teachers, organizations, churches, and even media bloggers who present the Full Gospel and the consequences of accepting it personally and then how to live out one's life on a daily level. Even dealing with questions of good and evil nationally and internationally. Just cocooning oneself in a Bless-me club will not help kids to learn how to face daily evil. Yes, kids need to be taught and I am convinced that many , many adults really need to be made aware of the reality of good and evil and how to deal with it by cooperating with the Lord God , Jesus Christ more than ever!
