Subject: Cristians are a no show in Culture War |
Bible Note: Referral to another thread............................................ Hi Mommapbs, You asked where were Christians during Roe vs. Wade? Many of them were praying for Roe, and their prayers were answered. She has now become a Christian and actively supports the unborn. You asked where were Christians when school prayer was banned? Many of them were starting something called "See you at the pole", which now has thousands of students praying around their school flagpoles across America. You asked where were Christians while evolution was being taught? Many Christians have put much time and effort into discovering how science supports the scriptural account of creation. See ICR.org for more information. You asked where were Christians when the Ten Commandments were removed? Many of them have put signs in their yards to support the return of the Ten Commandments, and some such as Justice Roy Moore have put their career on the line for that cause. You asked where are Christians now that "In God We Trust" is endangered? Many of them have started groups such as the CLA (www.christianlaw.org) and the ACLJ (www.aclj.org) to defend against these legal threats. You asked where are Christians now that "sanctity of life" is endangered? Many of them started an organization called "Right to Life" to fight this culture war. Even their enemies admit that they are winning. (http://www.miplannedparenthood.org/rtl.htm) You asked where were Christians when the US Post Office released an Islamic stamp? Many of them are protesting and educating people about this issue (http://www.freecongress.org/commentaries/2002/021121pw.asp) While I agree with you that more could be done, one cannot deny that there are Christians who are truly engaging in the "culture war". I hope that this message is an encouragement to you Mommapbs. I hope you can see that the cup is half-full :) |
