Falling off the Edge

It seems that the west coast is continually loosing ground due to the steady erosion of common sense perpetrated by the liberal establishment. They are tilting into the nothingness of completely arbitrary morality. The most recent idiocy is, again, from the California Supreme Court. They have done their little dance with morality and have concluded that one child can have two mothers. An article in AgapePress notes that "parenting, custody, and child support laws in California will now apply to homosexual couples who conceived through artificial insemination."

Lest we, here in the Midwest, say, "It could never happen here," do not forget that the Minnesota State Supreme Court has also been making some cute moves with morality as well. What happens on the east or west coast eventually finds itself here - unless, that is, people start using God-given common sense.

Of course, that might be part of the problem. That "God-given common sense" comes from knowing the God-given Word of God. Study after study has shown that, even self-confessed born-again believers are woefully ignorant of the principles of God's Word. With many, the only exposure they get to God's Word is on Sunday Morning (or sometimes Saturday night). And that is often watered down so as to be ineffective. Most who call themselves believers do not spend any time outside of church studying the Word of God, and then they believe that just once on Sunday is enough. Many who know, refuse to live the truth or stand for the truth. And the trut is not just about homosexuality or abortion. It's about how to know God. It's about how to live for God. It's about what our rebellion does to our relationship with God. It's about the fact that we do not live for our own glory or happiness. We live to bring glory to God, and joy to His heart.

What happened to "I can't get enough of His Word." See what's it doing to our culture. Will it do the same to His children, as well?
