One of the most distressing aspects of the lie is that it is believed by so many Christians. Far too many Christians don't see the evil that is inherent in the above topics. Unfortunately, they believe those behaviors are acceptable in our society. As Christians, we must recognize that we are created in God's image and that each person is born with a sin nature. We must think, speak, and act to demonstrate that there is right and wrong in the world. We must oppose evil, even when that evil is "socially acceptable" like abortion.
There is so much more I would like to say, but I think I will end with a simple appeal to Christians. Stop spreading the lie. Before we start going out and telling others, we must stop working for the enemy in spreading the lie. Make sure the way you think, speak, and act line up with God's truth.
"I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments." (NIV) Galatians 2:4
"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of the world rather than Christ." (NIV) Galatians 2:8
"The world is too dangerous to live in- not because of people who do evil, but because people sit and let it happen." Albert Einstein
"Let us not forget that violence does not and cannot flourish by itself; it is inevitably intertwined with lying. Between them there is the closest, the most profound and natural bond; nothing screens violence except lies. and the only way lies can hold out is violence. Whoever has announced violence as his method must inevitably choose lies as his principle... The simple act of an ordinary courageous man is not to take part, not to support the lies! Let the lie come into the world, even dominate the world, but not through me." Alexander Solzhenitsyn
