twice this week, in an ever changing world with a need to conform to being politically correct, i witnessed two outright declarations against secularity on Satellite TV, precisely on CNN International. First, earlier in the week at the #Ferguson Protests Ron Johnson the man in charge of Security & his colleagues started their press conferences with prayers with a consistent mention of Jesus. A trend that is fast becoming a relic of a lost age.
Secondly, as Dr. Kent Brantley the Samaritan's Purse Doctor who contracted Ebola was discharged haven passed several tests along with his colleague Nancy Writebol. At his discharge Press Conference he ascribed his survival to God, he then went ahead to detail how he refused to lose faith in God and Hope in God's ability to save him.
For a Nation that built its entire economy on spiritual influences the U.S seemed to have strayed from the very Entity that helped them become who they are. Sadly too it is becoming increasingly difficult for christians to practice their faith. I have heard stories of children in school getting punished for opening their Bibles in class. We not now only have to deal with Islamic Extremists persecuting christians, we now also have to deal with a fast rising secular society that exalts the very things that God speaks against. These things were predicted though, now more than ever we need to be more conscious of the times the signs abound every where, from the legalization of Gay rights (2Tim3:3), to wars in Syria, Ukraine (Matt24:6), Earth quakes (Matt24:7) etc. the end is definitely near.
I might sound like a broken record telling you to live right and cultivate a healthy relationship with God, but honestly we all have about two choices live right accept Jesus and join him up there when it matters most or get left behind at rapture and slug it out with every force of evil...
I would leave you to decide if being politically correct and consciously suppressing your conscience pays you in the long run.
