That’s
what Christians do now.

In 1973 the Supreme Court said it was OK to
kill unborn babies. Since then, we have killed more than the entire
population
of Canada. And it continues. A woman’s choice? they didn’t have a
choice. It is
called abortion.
Me? I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home. That’s what Christians do now.
First it was dingy, dirty theaters. Then,
convenience stores than grocery stores than on television. Now is in
the home
of millions via the Internet. It is called pornography.

They call it no-fault. Why should we blame
anyone when something so tragic happens. Haven’t they already suffered
enough?
Half of the marriages in America end this way. The children suffered.
The
family broke down. It is called divorce.
Me? I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home. That’s what Christians do now.
At one time it was a perversion. We kept it
secret. We secured help and hope for those who practiced it. Now is
praised. We
have parade celebrating it, and elected officials give it their
blessing. Now
it is endowed with special privileges and protected by special laws.
Even some
church leaders and denominations praise it. It is called homosexuality.

It used to be an embarrassment. A shame. Now
a third of all births are to mothers who aren’t married. Two-thirds of
all
African-American children are born into a home without a father. The
state
usually pays the tab. That is why we pay our taxes, so that government
can take
the place of parents. After all, government bureaucrats know much
better how to
raise children than parents to. It is called the illegitimacy.

I go to church, the minister preaches, I

At one time it was wrong. But then the state
decided to legalize it, promote it and tax it. It has ripped apart
families and
destroyed lives. But just look at all the money the state has raised.
No longer
do we have to teach our children to study and work hard. Now we teach
them they can get something for nothing.
We spend
millions encouraging people to join the fun and excitement. Just look
at the
big sums that people are winning. They will never have to work again!
It is
called gambling.
Me?
I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home. That’s what Christians do now.
Not
long ago, Christians were the good guys.
But now any positive image of Christians in movies or on TV is rare. We
are
usually depicted as the bad guys – greedy, narrow-minded hypocrites.
The
teacher can’t have a Bible on her desk, but can have Playboy. We don’t
have
Christmas and Easter holidays- just winter and spring break. We can use
foul
language. It’s called being tolerant.
Me?
I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home. That’s what Christians do now.
Yes,
all these things came to pass within 30
years. Where were the Christians? Why, they were in church. All these
things
are for someone else to deal with. Times have
changed. Involvement has been replaced with apathy.
