lies

"But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"  -Jesus Christ

Because of his heritage in the Priesthood, his social standing would always be secure, as long as he kept his head down and did what he was supposed to.  In reading his story, I get the feeling that, perhaps, he did not want to go into the "family business."  But, one day in the temple when he was still a tenderfoot as priests go, God called him in a very personal and unique way to bring messages to the nation of Israel.  God told him that disregarding this mission was not an option, and to do so would have brought utter embarassment upon himself.   

Jeremiah came to be known as the "Weeping Prophet" because all the messages God gave him to deliver were of discipline to a wayward nation.  Not one convert resulted, that we know of, from his lifetime of preaching.  In one place in the book that bears his name, God told him to even stop praying for this nation because their desire was only delusion.  He was rarely taken seriously by the leadership of Israel, and never by the other priests.  Even when his shocking prophecies began to happen, he was mocked, ridiculed, derided, and even thrown into a pit.  His heart broke over and again as he watched their continued disregard for God's messages, and the scourging given them in waves by their enemy.

It is surreal to read, as my own country, built upon Godly principles by Godly, passionate men of great conviction and unbelievable sacrifice, has mocked in the face of messengers preaching confession and repentance.  With every rejection of its Christian heritage, the United States of America, the greatest force of freedom and charity the world has ever known, is being scourged by its self delusion; lies.  A great number among us, and in high places, want the Truth to be what they want, and not what it is.

The first and biggest lie is that our nation was not founded upon the Judeao-Christian values Divinely communicated in the Bible.  We once celebrated the blessing of the Ten Commandments by placing them as stone monuments in our courthouses and government seats.  Now they are removed, and every other foreign religion is recognized and venerated it their place.  With the removal of this cornerstone of understanding, the minds of young men and women have been exposed to an onslaught of deception, and for many generations, now.

Among this army of lies that has been marching against the boundaries set up by our forefathers is that truth is subjective.  "My truth may be different than yours..."  And the greatest casualty resulting from this lie is the high value of human life.  You would certainly go to jail for killing a seven year old child.  But, it is perfectly legal to kill a child alive in it's mother's womb for seven months, for any or no reason at all.  A child in this vulnerable stage of life is not even considered a human being at all, according to the courts of this land, predjudicially hearing only the scientific voices that echo this "liberal" agenda.

These lies have been perpetrated on a selfish and naive public by the vehicle of the "Tolerance" Doctrine.  It goes like this: 'You may not believe this way, but this is the land of the free.  Therefore, you cannot fault others for their beliefs, that are greatly deviated from what used to be known as right and true, and what was originally intended...'  And now it has progressed to this: 'If you believe something different than what "we"- (secularly educated, politically correct ruling class elite) believe, keep it to yourself.'  Logically, the next progression in this line of illogical reason will go: 'You had better just throw out your Bible moorings, and its connections to the Founding Documents, because none of them are relevant to the culture and life in 2012.  You are stupid, we are smart.'  Another way to put it is the Tolerance Doctrine is a movement of mind control rather than tolerance.  ' Think like us, and you will be tolerated."

We have removed the boundary markers of old; Godly wisdom has been replaced with transient relativism.  We are governed by lawlessness dressed in judges' robes.  The light within us is lost, darkened.  And because these "new" Americans for "hope" and "change" love darkness, the light that exposes their evil will continue to be progressively constricted and choked until no one can see anything at all.
