My People, Those People
Waukesha, Wisconsin Christmas Parade. Five dead, over forty injured by a man who drove his vehicle into the parade. He’d done the same thing to a woman at a gas station just days before; just ran over her with his vehicle.
Darrel Brooks was no stranger to police or the court system. The ACLU and other miscreants who hamper our system and keep criminals at large have ruined our justice system. Low bail and now in many cases, no bail, have made our streets the hunting grounds for criminals who prey on the most vulnerable of those among us.
All this abandonment of law and order started a long time ago. In the early sixties prayer and Bible reading were thrown out of schools. Kids used to be told there were things that were wrong. Not now, we can’t place our values on another parents child. So kids have no value system except what the screens tell them. The church left its post as screener of Hollywood trash in the sixties. Who’s to prevent our young from accepting and desiring to emulate the very worst on the screen. If there is no God, there is no one to hold them accountable. They are taught to worship dinosaurs and believe fables about the origin of life. There is no right or wrong in the animal kingdom. And so here we are, bathed in my truth and your truth.
A little at a time our standards have been replaced with rights to do whatever we want. There was a time when peer pressure would hamper the evil that lurks within every soul. Not so today. Our children play video games in which they gain points for each “kill”. Movies place deviant behavior on display to entice all who watch to indulge in the same decadence.
In the sixties, crazy as they were, no one drove a car into a parade to wreak mayhem. It wasn’t accepted, it wasn’t normal. But here we are with the new normal, cheating, stealing, and murdering without consequence and most times without remorse. It’s a chilling world our darlings of media have created. Time to warm things up.
We have leaders and followers of brutal cruelty much like the Amalekites in ancient Israel. Destroying everything that makes life worth living, it was a them or us type of situation. We know what Saul (our leaders) will do; the question is, will there be a Samuel to do the messy job of saving the country?
I don’t expect sinners to repent in droves; some will, most won’t. The burden belongs on the shoulder of the Church of Jesus Christ. The Bible says if “my” will repent, I will heal their land. It really has nothing to do with “those” people.
