People don’t know that there are only two genders, that marriage is only for one man and one woman, that killing a baby in the womb is still murdering a human being, that if you choose not to work, you choose not to eat and benefit from others’ work.<\/p>\n
Why are these things lost on much of our society? It is because they have swallowed the false notion that there is no real standard of right and wrong. Everyone does what is right in their own eyes, and no one is accountable to a real standard above themselves. This has been pushed for decades by means of teaching evolution as an alternative to creation by God. Humanism rides on that foolish theory, and humanism makes man the highest being, the highest authority, and no one human gets to make the rules for other humans.<\/p>\n
God had been recognized as the highest authority, and His word would judge us and testify to right and wrong. When we threw out God and His testimony to right and wrong, the world went crazy. We must turn hearts back to God, or we will see our country become more and more like Sodom and Gomorrah. Lawlessness is never good and never ends well. Repentance and remission of sins need to be preached in every corner of our influence. Souls need to hear the truth and see the light. Only the gospel can help people one soul at a time. Support the truth and hold up the light to this dark world!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
