THANKS, AND NO THANKS

There are many things we can be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day. However, there are some things for which I can’t be thankful.

I am not thankful for sin. Adulterers, child molesters, drug addicts, fornicators, homosexuals, lesbians, murderers, porn addicted, sex-traffickers, swindlers, transvestites, wife beaters all of us are sinners and fall short of the glory of God. Yet we all do matter to God.

While we are alive, though, we have an opportunity to turn from our wicked ways and turn our lives around and get right with and to walk with Almighty God through Jesus Christ. I am very thankful for that!

I am not thankful for the growing prominence of the secular-humanist religion in our culture, which has been for some time and is incessantly trying at ever twist and turn to replace and even destroy Christianity and its great past and potential influence on our culture and society.

I am not thankful for the rampant hedonism in our culture today. Pleasing self is not the highest achievement man can obtain. Teaching K-12 school children anything-goes pornographic sex-education is counterproductive to building a fair, moral, wholesome and just society.

I am not thankful for the Leftists' version of tolerance, diversity and multiculturalism, which only tends to divide us as a nation.

But I am thankful I still can live in a nation founded on Christian and biblical principle and values and which has the potential to be renewed and restored. But that must begin individually, one person at a time.

Let it begin with me.
