-Caveat Lector-
Food for Thought
In light of the recent shooting in California, let's
see, I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare
complained she didn't want any prayer in our
schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you'd
better not read the Bible in school.... the Bible
that says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal,
and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said,
OK.
Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our
children when they misbehave because their little
personalities would be warped and we might damage
their self-esteem. And we said, an expert should
know what he's talking about so we said OK, we won't
spank them anymore.
Then someone said teachers and principals better not
discipline our children when they misbehave. And
the school administrators said no faculty member
in this school better touch a student when they
misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity,
and we surely don't want to be sued. (There's a big
difference between disciplining and touching,
beating, smacking, humiliating, kicking, etc.)
And we accepted their reasoning.
Then someone said, let's let our daughters have
abortions if they want, and they won't even have
to tell their parents. And we said that's a grand
idea. Then some wise school board member said,
since boys will be boys and they're going to do
it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they
want, so they can have all the fun they desire, and
we won't have to tell their parents they got them
at school. And we said that's another great idea.
Then some of our top elected officials said it
doesn't matter what we do in private as long as
we do our jobs. And, agreeing with them, we said
it doesn't matter to me what anyone, including the
President, does in private as long as I have a job
and the economy is good.
And then someone said let's print magazines with
pictures of nude women and call it wholesome,
down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the
female body. And we said we have no problem with
that. And someone else took that appreciation a
step further and published pictures of nude children
and then stepped further still by making them
available on the Internet. And we said
they're entitled to their free speech.
And the entertainment industry said; let's make TV
shows and movies that promote profanity, violence,
and illicit sex. And let's record music that
encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic
themes. And we said it's just entertainment,
it has no adverse effect, and nobody takes it
seriously anyway, so go right ahead.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no
conscience, why they don't know right from wrong,
and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers,
their classmates, and themselves. Probably, if
we think about it long and hard enough, we can
figure it out. I think it has a great deal to
do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and
then wonder why the world's going to hell.
Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but
question what the Bible says.
Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided
they do not have to believe, think, say, or do
anything the Bible says.
Funny, how someone can say, "I believe in God"
but still follow Satan who, by the way, also
"believes" in God. Funny, how we are quick to
judge, but not to be judged.
Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through
e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when
you start sending messages regarding the Lord,
people think twice about sharing. Funny how the
lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely
through Cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus
is suppressed in the school and workplace. Funny
how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday,
but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week.
Are you laughing?
Funny how when you go to forward this message, you
will not send it to many on your address list
because you're not sure what they believe, or what they
will think of you for sending it to them. Funny how
I can be more worried about what other people think
of me than what God thinks of me.
Are you thinking?
Pass it on if you think it has merit! If not then
just discard it.... no one will ever know
what you did, for sure.
