NOW WHAT DO I EXPECT?


Today's Huffington Post Headlined, "American Civilization Is Still Standing, Despite Predictions Of Marriage Equality Opponents."

I don't know of any Bible believing Christian who predicted that the day sodomite marriage was sanctioned by the United States Supreme Court our nation would suddenly collapse or suffer cataclysmic disaster.  Not one of the predictions of the so called "marriage equality opponents" have suggested that.

Here's what I expect...

...Armed with this new definition of marriage ("people who love each other")  there will be calls for plural marriages--Thruplets, etc., and a move to sanction marriage with minors.

...Traditional marriage will diminish.  Divorce will remain common.  And living together without the benefit of marriage will be the most popular.  We will continue to divide what God has joined and join what God has divided. 

...Child abuse will continue to plague the nation.  Parents who are more concerned for their own self-fulfillment and pleasure will neglect, ignore, and abuse their offspring.  Deviants will take advantage of children and justify themselves--"It's consensual and loving."

...Life will be cheap.  Abortion will continue take the lives of millions before they are allowed to breathe.  Researchers and fertility specialists will discard hundreds of thousands of fertilized ovum as unwanted or unfit.  And suicide will be normalized and subsidized as life loses its divine significance.

...American productivity will continue to fall as pleasure and ease are subsidized and work and industry are taxed. The traditional family unit is the undisputed leader in instilling a strong work ethic and responsibility into the character of children.  By taxing the ideal, and subsidizing the less than ideal, we will continue to produce fewer qualified applicants to fulfil the needs of our economy.

...American fascination with entertainment--from gaming to games, from shows to showing off (our latest styles, tats and piercings), from licentiousness to libertine pleasures (think the lust of the eye and the lust of the flesh) will prove corrosive to character.  "If you live after the flesh you will die," the Scriptures warn.

...The day will come when our government will be unable to fund all the programs our crowd-pleasing politicians have committed to finance. Tax revenues will continue to lag far behind expenditures.  Currently we have a national debt of 1,700 billions of dollars. 

...Our military will be weakened as American dollars are spent on hand-outs rather than national defense. Our reliance on technology will make us more vulnerable--think hack attack.  American resolve will be increasingly tested by enemies around the world.

...Furthermore our military will be weakened as Divinity is expelled and Deviancy is enshrined.  Chaplains will be forbidden to preach the Bible, while libertines, homosexuals and transvestites are celebrated in the ranks.

...Our resolve will dissolve as moral strength is mocked and spiritual truth is denied. With no raison d'etre we will cease to be that "city upon a hill" and "land of the free and home of the brave."

...The media will continue to shape the hearts and minds of a clueless population--unable to think rationally.  Emboldened by their amazingly successful 15 year campaign to normalize sodomy, they will continue to undermine and erode any vestige of virtue in the civilization.  What programmers don't think of, advertisers will.  Witness the explosion of sexually explicit commercials on the television and computer screens of this generation.

...The schools--kindergarten through graduate school--will continue to promote tolerance, of everything and everyone except those who truly believe the Bible.  Traditional heroes and values will be tossed out and a "brave new world" devoid of virtue will shape the curriculum and agenda. 

...Liberty will give way to licentiousness.  Os Guiness is right.  Without Faith and Virtue, Freedom will devolve into anarchy.

...A strident self-centeredness will ravage the spirit of cooperation that once was the backbone of our great institutions. Our first loyalty will be to ourselves.  As our thoughtful appreciation of the "greater good" fades our loyalty to great causes will be lost. 

...Moral authority will be ignored, questioned, and violently rejected. The law will be rendered meaningless by judges who have imbibed the spirit of the age. 

...There will be a great falling away from Bible preaching and believing churches. This falling away will lay increasing stress, ( ideological, organizational and financial) on the remnant.  The enemy will do all that he can to discourage, divide, and dishearten us.   

...Bible Christians will continue to be marginalized and finally demonized by a culture that has rejected truth.  This will have implications for Christian employees, Christian students, Christian parents, and serious Christians across the nation.

...FINALLY, I EXPECT THAT THE REMNANT WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL TO CHRIST AND TO HIS CHURCH.  AND I EXPECT THAT THE TRUTH OF CHRIST WILL TRIUMPH.  AND I EXPECT THAT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THIS SINNER WHO HAS BEEN SANCTIFIED BY THE BLOOD OF THE CONQUERING LAMB, WILL ONE DAY REJOICE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD IN THAT CITY WHERE THEY NEED NO SUN!
