WITHOUT SHAME WE DO NOT REPENT — PART 2

REPENT! TURN AWAY FROM SIN.

REPENT! TURN AWAY FROM SIN.

In WITHOUT SHAME WE DO NOT REPENT — PART 1, we considered three videos. We will diversify somewhat in this post.  Nonetheless, we will start with a video.

Abortion Violence

Campus craze: ‘Stab that baby!’ (H/T to vineoflife.net) shows how some college students regard the abortion of babies.

Pastry Violence

What is ironic is that adults (and college students are young adults) can get away with pretending to “abort” a baby, but a seven-year old cannot get away with making a make-believe gun out of a pastry. Even the Liberals at CNN are amazed, but the parents signed the school handbook. So they supposedly knew what they were getting themselves into.     :lol:

Check out Gun-Shaped Pastry Leads to School Suspension for 7-Year-Old. Here is the Fox News version: Boy, 7, suspended for shaping pastry into gun, dad says. That little boy shows more wisdom than the people who are suppose to be teaching him.

An Explanation Of Freedom Of Religion

What is going on?  Why such incoherent absurdities? Consider what education is about. To some extent we want to prepare our children for the grim task of survival; we want to give them vital skills. However, that little bit of knowledge is dangerous. Unless we pass onto our children a proper set of values, then we have not prepared our children to survive. If we never teach our children that this life is about preparing for the next, they behave like predatory beasts.

Unfortunately, we have created an education system beset by political machinations. This systems requires parents to send their children to schools run by politicians they do not trust to be taught by teachers they did not choose. And why? Because that’s what our parents did to us. What we forget is that it was not always that way, and it has gotten much worse.

What can we do about this mess? Because our schools have failed us, we each need to learn the basics of government. What is crucial. That is the right that is at the center of all our other rights. That right is the right to practice our religious beliefs. Please listen to Rev. Rick Warren on Religious Freedom.

You want to skip the formalities. Warren starts his discussion about 7 minutes into the video. From there on it is well worth listening to the whole thing.

Does Warren talk about school choice? No, but he does explain that freedom of religion involves a whole lot more than just going to church.

  1. great post. i don’t think there’s anything that can stop the speedy train to hell that this nation and the world by extension is taking. I no longer have hope other than locally sharing the Gospel and trying to help people understand how very bad it has really gotten.

      Thank you.

      Hopefully, as time passes, more people will reach the same conclusion you have reached. The Bible says that when a nation loses sight of the next life it makes itself miserable in this life. If the Bible says as much, then it is entirely appropriate for us to point to the sinfulness of our society and call for repentance.

    Thanks for another very important and relevant posting, brother. I am enjoying this series greatly.

    Sad to say,I am with Mike an Brandy on this one. I, also, see very little hope for our country as a whole. Of course, we all acknowledge our God can do miracles and He can turn our country around as He sees fit. But the issue is not CAN He but WILL He.

    I am convicted, as long as our country refuses to repent, there is no reason to believe that He will send revival and bring our nation back to Him.

    The best we can accomplish is to reach out to those who are willing to listen and present the truths of God’s Word concerning the spiritual condition of our country and each of us, her citizens.

    Thanks again Tom for all the work you’re doing to remind each of us of the greatness of our country and the danger that is facing her.

    Lord bless you my friend.
