We live in a world that is living in
squalor. Hatred and destruction are everywhere we look; from the
Middle East where ISIS is destroying monuments, to the Southern
United States, where the call is to exhume bodies of the
“intolerant”, and erase all signs of our culture because of its
perceived history.
We see the awful things happening
around us, but don't want to admit that the reason things are so
awful is because of us, and yet the simple truth is that we don't
NEED to be awful. Human life is so valuable that Almighty God had to
experience extreme suffering and torment of soul to show us a better
path. Christianity has the solution, but the sinners in the world
cannot see the simple truth.
Others religions, such as Islam, do not
confer value upon human life. In fact, a video was making its way
around the Internet in which a Muslim woman hoped her son would
become a suicide bomber and take the very lives of the same Jewish
people that had just saved his infant-life through a complicated
surgery because the Muslim people do not regard human life.
In our own culture, the cult of
abortion is removing the value from human life. By denying its very
significance from conception, we are denying the merit of human life
throughout the life span.
The current din coming from the
homosexual crowd calling Christianity hateful is due to the simple
fact that sinful people cannot separate their sin from their
identity. It is easy to see when they continue to demand that we
accept them as having been “born this way,” while denying that
being born homosexual is contrary to their belief in the theory of
natural selection.
For Christianity the world is clearly
definable, sin is the nature of man, and yet man is redeemable. Man
has greater worth and must somehow see that his sin is the
monstrosity that is blinding himself to the truth; the Truth that
they are truly priceless.
A eye-surgeon knows that removing the
cataract will be a painful surgery with a lengthy recuperation, but
the end product is worth the process. To leave someone blind and
pitiful is cold-blooded, not the other way around. So in essence,
despite the hue and cry that Christians are being mean for calling
the world out on its sin, they are really trying to clear the mud
away from the sinners eyes so he can see how truly valuable he is in
the eyes of the Almighty Creator.
