The Real Threat

Global warming threatening to devastate the globe, political moves toward socialism and even Marxism, government spending out of control all seem to threaten our way of life. These are merely inconveniences compared to the corrosive effects of sin. What was at one time recognized as sin are denied to be so by leaders and the media. Perversion is hailed as acceptable. Greed and corruption are personified in the halls of government. Consumerism is touted as the answer. Our children are taught lies in the mandatory public education system and universities as the academics and religious leaders hail them as truth. The media plays their banal songs as America burns, choosing to write about cell phones in toilets and Tiger Woods moments while suppressing discussions of the sin that so easily besets us. They make a mockery of government officials who don’t meet their standards of messiahship while ignoring the very Messiah who has the answers, making them complicit with the sin being perpetrated as they turn a blind eye. The planet is actually cooling, but the sin problem that presents the overwhelmingly larger consequences, continues to grow. Perhaps it is time to realize the slippery slope we are on.
