This is pretty profound. For those of us
who have kids know how deep this can be.
Finally, The Truth on National TV Billy Graham's daughter was
being interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God
let something like this happen?" regarding 9-11-01... And Anne Graham
gave an extremely profound and insightful response.
She said "I believe that God is deeply saddened by this, just
as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get
out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman that He is, I
believe that He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His
blessing and His protection if we demand that He leave us alone?" In light of
recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. Let's see, I think it
started when Madeline Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body was found
recently) complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools, and we said OK.
Then, someone said you better not read the Bible in school... the
Bible that says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your
neighbor
as yourself. And we said, OK. Then, Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our
children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and
we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide) And we
said, an expert should know what he's talking about so we said OK.
Then, someone said teachers and principals better not discipline
our children when they misbehave. And the school administrators said no faculty
member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we
don't want any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued (There's a
big difference between disciplining and touching, beating, smacking humiliating,
kicking, etc.) And we said, OK.
Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they
want, and they won't even have to tell their parents. And we said, OK. Then
some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys and they're going to do
it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they want, so they can have all
the fun they desire, and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at
school. And we said, OK.
Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what
we do in private as long as we do our jobs. And agreeing with them, we said it
doesn't matter to me what anyone, including the President, does in private as long
as I have a job and the economy is good. And then someone said let's print
magazines with pictures of nude women and call it wholesome, down-to-earth appreciation
for the beauty of the female body. And we said, OK.
And then someone else took that appreciation a step further and
published pictures of nude children and then stepped further still by making them
available on the internet. And we said OK, they're entitled to their speech. And
then the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that
promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex. And let's record music that encourages
rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes. And we said it's just
entertainment, it has no adverse effect, and nobody takes it seriously anyway,
so go right ahead.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience,
why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill
strangers, their classmates, and themselves. Probably, if we think about it
long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with
"WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."
"Dear God, Why didn't you save the little girl killed in her
classroom? Sincerely, Concerned Student... AND THE REPLY "Dear Concerned
Student, I am not allowed in schools". Sincerely, God.
Are you laughing?
Funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send
it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what
they will think of you for sending it to them. Funny how I can be more worried about what
other people think of me than what God thinks of me.
Are you thinking?
Pass this link on, if you think it has merit. If not then just
ignore ....no one will know that you did. But, if you discard this thought process,
then don't sit back and complain about what a bad shape the world is in!
