The Change We Need

It has been quite a while since I have had time to write and I don't know if I really do today, but my engine is revving over a cultural issue. All through the Fall we heard from our new President that serious change is needed to right things that have gone wrong in our nation. I agree that things are not right in this nation culturally, with government, etc. That we need change is evident, but what kind do we really need? So, in the last couple of days, we have the first evidences of the coming change:

1. No one can be tortured who is a terrorist combatant against our country because that is cruel and inhumane. (I am not making a statment about Guantanomo here).  Those people are filled with hatred and are bent on killing.  Many of them are just plain evil.

Today's Decision:
2. Our taxpayer funds are going to be released according to Executive Order to go to foreign lands to fund abortions in those countries. This procedure, done against innocent and unborn children, I guess, is HUMANE, and should be done, not stopped.  Those being aborted are innocent and have no say in the matter.

I am not advocating the torture of adults, but think about this for a moment. One of these continues to allow someone to live and the other actually kills life. I am continually amazed at how these two issues are seen by people in this country and around the world.  We have really gotten to this full blown place in our land where people cannot see the total irony of their viewpoint.  

Could some kind of common sense enter the picture? Are we really serious that one of these is okay and the other is not? Those who embrace this ideology are so blind to their very own argument.  Blind guides leading the blind.  Is it any wonder we are where we are?  

Which of the two is the greater injustice? Which is, honestly?

Proverbs 22:8 "Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail."
This is where we are!!!

This is what we need to do:
Proverbs 23:23 - "Buy truth, and do not sell it, buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding."
We would not have the financial, social, and knowing God issues if we bought the truth and sought wisdom with all our hearts.

That is the only way we will be able to navigate the waters of our culture.

I feel better now.
