Flee From the Wrath to Come

      Someone pulled a thread and we are unraveling. The whole thing is coming apart at the seams while we watch in unbelief. We thought our history would sustain us, our embrace of freedom, our ability to rally together as a family and fight and die if necessary. But now we are left with factions so diverse that each individual is torn in many different affections. We thought our tolerance would uphold us, that very unique way where we turned from our wrongs and embraced those we once enslaved, but our tolerance has become intolerable, for we now call the killing of the innocent good and the death of the evil wrong. We thought our Christian standards would save us, for we delight in kindness, generosity and acceptances, but we abandoned the very Christian morals that gave us Christian standards and now we are left with counterfeit virtues. We thought education would see us through the dark times, but we watered down our education to a self-esteem boosting, permissive, entitlement-driven system that teaches our children they are merely the product of evolution and natural selection while training them how to wear condoms and how to receive benefits that they have not earned.
      So...where do we go from here? If you have reached the end of your line there is only one place to go...to God; not a god of suicide bombs or meditation on self-realization, but the God of Truth, the God of righteousness, the God of our very creation. The God who shows himself to his creation by joining in our miseries, not being born to entitlement, but being born in a manger. The God who not only died for his own, but suffered and died, so that the righteousness he requires can only be found and can only be had in Jesus Christ alone.
     Give thought to your soul, for our days are short, and remember this above all else, "God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble." Humble yourself, and flee from the wrath to come. Look to Jesus and live!
