That’s What Christians Do Now
By Donald E. Wildmon;
AFA President
In 1973, the Supreme
Court said it was ok to kill unborn babies. Since then, we have killed more than the
entire population of Canada. And it
continues. A
woman’s choice? Half of
those who have died in their mothers’ wombs have been women. They didn’t have a choice. It is called abortion.
Me? I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home.
That’s what
Christians do now.
First, it was in dingy, dirty
theaters. Then,
convenience stores. Then, grocery stores.
Then on television. Now it is in the homes of millions via
the Internet. It is called
pornography.
Me? I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home.
That’s what
Christians do now.
They call it no-fault. Why should we blame anyone when
something so tragic happens.
Haven’t they already suffered enough? Half of the marriages in America end
this way. The children
suffered. The family broke
down. It is called divorce.
Me? I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home.
That’s what
Christians do now.
At one time it was a perversion. We kept it secret. We secured help and hope for those who
practiced it. Now it is praised. We have parades celebrating it, and
elected officials give it their blessing. Now it is endowed with special privileges
and protected by special laws. Even
some Christian leaders and denominations praise it. It is called homosexuality.
Me? I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home.
That’s what
Christians do now.
It used to be an embarrassment. A shame. Now a third of all
births are to mothers who aren’t married. Two-thirds of all African-American
children are born into a home without a father. The state usually pays the tab. That is why we pay our taxes, so that government
can take the place of parents.
After all, government bureaucrats know much better how to raise children
than parents do. It is called
illegitimacy.
Me? I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home.
That’s what
Christians do now.
At one time it was wrong. But then the state decided to legalize
it, promote it and tax it. It has
ripped apart families and destroyed lives.
But just look at all the money the state has raised. No longer do we have to teach our
children to study and work hard.
Now we teach them they can get something for nothing. We spend millions encouraging people to
join the fun and excitement. Just
look at the big sums that people are winning. They will never have to work again! It is called gambling.
Me? I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home.
That’s what
Christians do now.
Not long ago, Christians were the good
guys. But now any positive image of
Christians in movies or on TV is gone.
We are now depicted as the bad guys – greedy, narrow-minded
hypocrites. The teacher can’t
have a Bible on her desk, but can have Playboy. We don’t have Christmas and Easter
holidays – just winter and spring break. We can’t pray in school, but can
use foul language. It’s
called being tolerant.
Me? I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home.
That’s what
Christians do now.
Yes, all these things came to pass
within 30 years. Where were the
Christians? Why, they were in
church. All these things are for
someone else to deal with. Times
have changed. Involvement has been
replaced with apathy.
But don't blame
me. I didn't do anything. I go to church, the minister preaches, I
go home.
That's what
Christians do now.
And this, from Karen Anderson of
California:
Dr Stan Monteith (Radio Liberty) told me about a quote from a
Christian minister who said: “Too many pastors today are so heavenly
minded that they are no earthly good.
They worship the grounds their heads are buried in.”
Sad, but true. I can’t tell
you how many Christians have said to me, “Karen, it’s all going to
happen anyway so why do you bother?”
I respond, “And you’re
going to die someday, too, so why do you bother to eat?”
As Dante said, “The hottest
places in hell are reserved for those who, in a time of moral crises, maintain
their neutrality.”
