Changing World
Recently, there has been many upsetting decisions made by the
American government that make me shake my head in
complete and utter disbelief. I realize that I am but a mere
person, and do not fully understand all the ins and outs of the
political scene, but from a Christian standpoint and from a
Biblical reference, it should be apparent to not only me, but the
rest of society, that the world is changing, and not necessarily
in a good way.
Maybe we in America have gotten spoiled somewhere along the
way, and are just now being faced with the harsh reality that
the Christian faith is not only being slowly eradicated, but also
held in the utmost disdain.
It has been supposed that the United States is changing into a
“secular country,” and that there is a discord between “man’s
laws and God’s laws.” It has also been purported that our
current president has loosed a “war on religion.”
If we look at the violence toward Christians around the world
today, the apparent answer would seem to be no…or would it?
Certainly here in America we don’t suffer religious persecution
to the extent of lives lost and brutality, but we are seeing what I
fear to be the beginning stages of those mere acts of
intolerance starting to form.
