In our current culture, especially as we are heading into the next
election cycle, moral questions are being hotly debated and people are
looking to to political leaders to solve these problems. For example,
perhaps the two mostly controversial subjects are the definition of
marriage and the issue of abortion.
Everyday, we hear news reports of
organizations petitioning political leaders for changes to these laws.
Everyday, state governments pass, or attempt to pass, a law that will
define marriage as either traditional, being between one man and one
woman, or redefining it to include same sex couples. Abortion laws
continued to be hotly contested as states pass laws that require women
be informed of a baby’s development or the use of ultrasound to show
them the child. Yet, efforts to extend personhood rights are being
denied due to political machinations.
As we see cultural diversity, political correctness, pluralism,
post-modern and secular humanism spread throughout, and erode, the
culture, Christians rightly see the damage this does to the
understanding of the word of God. Additionally, because these concepts
demand that Christians capitulate their exclusivist position, which we
are often unwilling to do, Christians are often seen as obstacles to
unity within the culture. We recognize that the culture is moving to a
point where Christianity could conceivably be seen as a threat. The
further the culture takes this perception, the greater the possibility
that one day Christianity could be outlawed. Therefore, Christians are
rightly seeing a growing threat to the practice of our faith and,
ultimately, the moral degradation of a country in rebellion to God. Keep Reading >>>
