| November article: Numb to Sin by Rex Johnson
Dear Wake Up family: Have you noticed that we never hear sin called by its plain old-fashioned name anymore? These days, a drunk is not a sinner, he’s just a sick man in need of treatment. Liars aren’t liars and thieves aren’t thieves, they’re simply embellishing their social media profiles or made mistakes while tallying their invoices. In today’s world, promiscuity isn’t sexual immorality, it’s just having a bit of fun. Likewise, a pervert is not degenerate, he’s only giving expression to his innermost feelings. The same kinds of excuses are made for rioting and even murder. Feelings, these days, are evidently more important than either morality or ethics. And to make matters worse, the shame, if any is to be recognized, is not placed squarely on the culprit, it is instead transferred onto the ever nebulous SOCIETY. Today, someone else, someway, somehow, is to blame for the social ills that plague the world—it’s never the guilty. It is instead those that audaciously refuse to embrace the despicable, who are hated and punished. This condoning and excusing of guilt simply encourages even more bad behavior, perpetuating the spiral of apostasy. How much more backward can mankind be than to call evil good, and good evil? Yet here we are. Click on the link above to read the rest of the article. |
