So, here's the thing: What is wrong with people - our society? There is more buzz and outrage about the news personality suggesting a conversion to Christianity for a certain pro golfer than the CNN ban against the potty-mouthed comedian who dropped the f-bomb on New Years Eve! I don't get it. Have folks become so inundated with smut on television and in other media that they just don't notice the difference? The newsman is a devout Christian, he was asked his opinion and gave it. Who he is and what he believes was reflected in his response - and rightly so. This is wrong? Seriously? I don't think so. Our values are supposed to be revealed through our behavior, aren't they? That's how I was raised, anyway. I know, I know, news people are supposed to be objective. I think objectivity and "political correctness" will be our downfall if we don't watch it. How does that song go - "if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything".Maybe there are more people who think the way I do than I know about. I have noticed that nobody is paying me/us to get on television to talk about what we think is right or wrong. I believe it might be time to start speaking up. I have read that there are movements afoot against politics and big business. How about the National Christian Values Society. Sign me up!Thanks for your gracious comments and input, Tom. As always, you are all invited to respond if you feel comfortable doing so! Meanwhile, I know this:And we know that in all things God works for the good of those
who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

John 17:14-17 (NIV)
ReplyDelete14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
