Personal insights regarding political, religious, social and economic issues of the day.

How is it that the "lie" has gained such credibility and acceptance in our culture of late? Truth is no longer a firm foundation but rather an increasingly eroded beach continually beat upon by the crashing waves of deception. How long can a civilization endure that defines freedom without using the words restraint, morality and discipline? How can a people long survive defining perversion as a "healthy" lifestyle even as we battle it's plague of aids? Do we cavalierly sacrifice our preborn in the name of convenience and "freedom" and yet dare believe in tomorrow? Have we forgotten how to blush? "Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? Nay, they were not at all ashemed, neither could they blush." (Jeremiah 6:15)
I fear the worst. I fear the light that we think we see is really darkness (Luke 11:35): "Take heed, therefore, that that light that is in thee be not darkness". Because, if it is, how great is that darkness, as we have no motivation to seek the light, thinking we already possess it! Are we so gullible not to see through this disguise? Are we so blind, or is it simply the encroaching darkness?
"And this is the condemnation, that the lignt has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil". (John 3:19)
