While union members and politicians are “acting up” in Wisconsin, perhaps 10,000 men, women and children have died in Japan.
While we use our time to worship at the altar of “me,” the very earth is groaning.
Even as the earth groans, we seem obsessed with either disposing of or putting our children at risk, destroying marriage, weakening the family, legitimizing all manner of unnatural behavior, collectively bargaining for Viagra, serving ourselves rather than our neighbor, and doing whatever is right in our own eyes.
This is only the third month of a new year. Think of what has already happened in 2011: The shooting in Tucson, continued murders along our southern border, civil unrest in Egypt and Libya and Saudi Arabia, a massive earthquake in New Zealand and, last Friday, the deadly tsunami which followed a 9.0 earthquake in Japan.
Even the rocks cry out. Yet, Planned Parenthood unashamedly begs funds to abort more children.
I wonder what the parents of five-month-old Baxter Gowland would have to say to that. Baxter was the youngest to die in the Christchurch, New Zealand, earthquake.
I wonder what the Creator and Father God thinks. After all, He so loved the world that He sent His only Son to value each human life — on a Cross.
Great thought provoking post. I am always struck by the lack of understanding the world has about the God who created them. I think it is time the men of this world stood up and took authority over the earth and over the spirits of the air. Instead we cower in the corner and quote every scientist or psychologist that proports to know what the God of Heaven intended when he created us. Just don’t get me started! Thanks for your words.
