MORAL DEGRADATION.

MORAL DEGRADATION.

It’s not a subject of contention that our today’s society has lowered moral values to its historical low levels. Not many years ago one could distinguish between a harlot and a just woman. King Solomon in his Proverbs the seventh chapter says that he saw a woman wearing harlotry attire, verse 10. This is clear prove that their were dresses made for harlots and others made for just women. Did this changed over the years? Did the manufacturers of dress stopped making harlotry dress? No they didn’t! What happened is that it reached a time in the history of mankind that harlotry dress and attires seemed to be more appealing and thus they became generally acceptable, or should we say that the number of harlots increased and thus they were seen as fashion makers/setters, or is it true that many men were held captives by the ‘charming and attractive’ look of harlots and thus women on fearing that they might loose their men to harlots decided to follow the trend and put on harlotry attires to ‘show their husbands that they too can be ‘charming and attractive’? Whichever the reason, the truth is that we are living in the days of moral degradation.

The watchmen who were appointed to shepherd the flock are not left behind. They know deep in their hearts that the attire being worn is degraded but they won’t speak. They won’t speak against the current moral degradation lest they loose their tithes and offerings; they want to keep their expensive lifestyle and thus allow their flock to do whatever they wish, so long as they don’t forget to tithe! Who will tell these pastors that the Bible forbids a harlot to give tithes and offerings in the church (Deut. 23:18)? Who will teach them that obedience is better than sacrifices? King Saul when told to kill and destroy the Amalekites with all their possessions thought that fat animals can be pleasing to God when offered as sacrifices. What was God’s answer? 1 Samuel 15:22,

 “And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.”

One Sunday keeping Pastor, once declared that he will not allow women who wear tightly fitting attires into his church. Funny enough the same pastor had curled hair and when that story was aired over the media, one journalist joked by saying that ‘neither men who curled their hair should be allowed in the church!’ Yes, this is what is happening. How can we expect these pastors and ministers to rebuke immodesty when they are the great culprits? Jesus was right to ask,

“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” Matthew 7:3.

It started with a few people who didn’t believe in God and now it is right in the church pulpit that is, the gay relationship. I fail to call it marriage as I know that marriage is a union between a man and a woman in a matrimonial vow. Thus to me, for the gay relationship to be termed as ‘gay marriage’ is to abuse the beautiful word and institution of marriage. There is nothing as ‘gay marriage!’

When it started scientists burnt the midnight oil trying to find a gay gene. Thank God that now days we have many Christian scientists or else the atheist scientist could have already told us that they’ve ‘a gay gene’. All studies that have been done to determine the gay gene have not given any prove of such a gene. The studies have just suggested some theories, but our Bible gives prove beyond any doubt that God created a man and a woman and also said marriage shall be between a man and a woman, (Gen. 2:18,  Pr 18:22  Ecc. 9:9,  1 Cor. 7:3,9,14,  Eph 5:22-23,25,28,31,  Col 3:18-19,  Rev. 19:9)

My heart was filled with sorrow when I heard British Prime Minister David Cameron announcing that any third world country that refuses to recognize gay relationship will not receive grants from the United Kingdom! It seemed to me that Mr. Cameron has forgotten all the difficulties that Britain has gone through. What happened to the mighty British Empire? Her majesty the queen was once the most powerful woman on earth, what happened? All this happened because British Empire sided with the enemies of God’s children; British Empire refused to let Israelites return to their homeland and millions of Israelites ended up in Hitler’s gas chambers! And now again Britain is making another mistake. By going against the principles of the Bible, they are directly declaring a war with God Himself. Did Mr. Cameron realize that wealth and riches comes from God? Did he know that our God is able to supply all our needs without depending on them? Do you remember what happened to Ezra when they went to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem? (Ezra 8:22), Ezra refused to ask for protection from the king because he knew that God is able to protect them. Thus Mr. Cameron should be told in the loudest voice ever that “we can do without his grants.”

Why is the church allowing gays ad even appointing them as shepherds. This is amazing and makes many wonder. The challenging part is that the Roman Catholic Church, the great harlotry church has come out strongly against gay relationship. What might be happening is just for us to speculate. Their might be something happening which is much deeper than what you and me can understand at this time.

Am not ruling out a possibility of many Christian churches allowing gay relationship. The outcome of this will be that many members will delink themselves from these churches and because they can not stay without spiritual nourishment, they will turn to Roman Catholic Church or Islam! Why do I make such an assertion? This comes from a number of points as follows;

• Britain and I believe other European countries will follow suit soon, is ready to support, give grants to any nation that recognize gay relationship. These grants are extending down to the churches. Any church that recognizes gay relationships shall stand a high chance of getting grants from Britain and her allies.

• Many Church leaders are money minded, most of them get their motivation not from the powerful, sweet words of the Bible, but tithes and offerings they get. Such leaders will be an easy catch to the luring dollars and euros of the great nations.

• Roman Catholic Church and Islam are the main religions that shall stand against gay relationship (It should be noted that there are other Churches that are and continually shall stand against gay relationship, this includes the True Church, but their input to this will not be felt.)

• Many Christians are still anti-gay and can not stand or attend a Church that supports the gay relationship. Most Christians are ready to break away from any church that supports gay relationship. Thus when their pastors accepts the dollars and sing to the tune of Mr. Cameron, these churches are going to loose many members and the result shall be that Roman Catholic Church and Islam shall be the immediate acceptable choice!

God of Heaven, the Creator of Heavens and Earth is keenly watching as the stage is being set for the world’s last drama, what will you do when the Almighty God descends down to bring forth His judgment? Where will you hide from the fiery fire? What will your dollars and euros do to prevent you from the wrath of God? This is the time, today is the acceptable day of your salvation, tomorrow may be too late!
