For several years I have subscribed to a free online newsletter from Liveprayer.com. I especially like this daily devotional because the writer of it isn't afraid to speak up against sin.
Unfortunately, we are living in a time when most radio and TV programs steer clear of mentioning what everyone used to KNOW was sin. Now it is labeled hate speech, bigotry, and radical Christianity.
What a shame that those who have a message that could cure a lot of the problems facing our society are being silenced by the fury of the crowd. As a result, many of the young people today don't even know the difference between right and wrong.
Today, it is "okay" for a 16 or 17 year old girl to announce to her friends on Facebook that she just got a birth control implant in her arm, or for movie stars to announce that they have suddenly discovered they are homosexual. Kids share naked pictures of themselves via their cell phones, and the pregnacies of unmarried noteables is flaunted not only on the computer, but also on TV and most of the magazine covers on the newstands.
But, Heaven forbid that we mention God to a teenager. For some reason, people seem to think that the aforementioned things are just fine to expose to the younger generation, but that talking to them about God will somehow ruin them for life. They are going to great lengths to remove even the name of God from our society.
Too bad there aren't a few more Christians willing to stand up against sin and refuse to back down when the crowd gathers to try to silence them.
