A Deafening Silence!

The recent absurd actions and decisions of our nation’s Supreme Court reveal how corrupt the majority of the justices have become. Recent decisions concerning LGBT rights that inflict harm upon our children and our society are inconceivable. The recent abortion decision is a stamp of approval upon the mass slaughter of innocent lives in abortion mills across America.

We, as a nation, continue to condemn Hitler for slaughtering millions of innocent lives during World War 2; while, at the same time, condoning our nation’s practice of slaughtering millions of innocent lives for the sake of convenience or choice.  In his strongly worded written dissent concerning the recent abortion decision by the Supreme Court, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote: “The court just makes stuff up to get what it wants” (Bre Payton, The Federalist.com). Thomas’ statement reinforces the notion that the court is corrupt to the core.

A young pregnant mother, Shanika Minor, was recently shot and killed in Wisconsin, killing her unborn child as well. The perpetrator is charged with two counts of murder? The mother could have gone to an abortion mill earlier in the day and had her baby torn out of her womb and it would have been an acceptable medical procedure. But, somehow, it is a crime to kill the baby otherwise? Idiotic? Preposterous? Senseless? Absurd?

A former college student, Emile Weaver, gave birth to her daughter in the sorority house and subsequently killed the newborn by throwing her in the trash (Associated Press, 06/27/16). Abortionists throw newborns in the trash every day and get paid for it? Emile Weaver will spend the rest of her life in prison while the abortionist returns home at night and gets rested up so he can return to his abortion mill and continue his cycle of slaughtering unborn babies. Ignorance? Ridiculous? Ludicrous? Absurd?

In June, 2016, an abortionist in San Diego, Robert Santella, stepped outside his abortion mill and began to rave and rant against the pro-life protestors gathered outside. His actions were recorded by a by-stander. At one point, he told the crowd that he loved aborting babies. His actions resulted in his relationship with the local hospital being terminated.

Former employees of a late-term abortion mill in Houston, Texas have testified that Abortionist Douglas Karpen would deliver fully formed, survivable babies whole and then twist their heads off or stick his fingers down their windpipe to prevent them from breathing. Then he would tie it all up in a plastic bag and go on to the next. And this is acceptable? According to our irrational Supreme Court, it is!

In his dissent, Justice Thomas also declared that some may call this decision a victory, but it is a loss for America. The impact of that particular decision will reverberate across America for years to come. The full effect upon our nation is unimaginable. The silencing of 65 million babies should be deafening. Their cries for vengeance should be driving us over the brink. When a nation allows itself to be dictated by the forces of evil, as America has allowed itself to be, destruction is imminent.

America is in a freefall to her death. The growing corruptness of our politicians; the devaluing of human life; the casting off of all restraints; the mass marketing of sex by Hollywood’s stars as they increasingly bare more of their bodies to the camera—all indicators that America’s future is extremely bleak.

However, the real failure lies within the church. Failing to stand up and speak out allowed evil to gain ground. Prayer was removed from our schools turning them into battlefields today rather than institutions of learning. The removal of the laws of GOD from our public property has enabled evil to grow and succeed. The legalization of abortion has wiped out over 65 million babies. Where was the church?

Did we not see the absurdity in all that was happening around us? Did we not care? Did we not heed the warning of Solomon that “the hearts of all people are full of evil, and there is folly in their hearts during their lives—then they die” (Ecclesiastes 9:3 NET)?

As the church, we can never assume that the world will better itself when left to itself. Genesis 6:5 warns us that “every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time” and will continue to be as such. The church is here for a purpose—to be a mouthpiece for the righteousness of GOD—to uphold right living and to run interference when evil attempts to dominate our society.

Church, we must get right with GOD and then we must band together and stand against the evil that has bound our nation while we still have an opportunity. It is time for us to declare a halt to the absurdity being perpetrated against our nation by rogue leaders. The cries from the trash-piles where millions of babies have found their final resting place are creating a deafening silence that we must address.

Scripture Reading: “The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the LORD said, ‘I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them’” (Genesis 6:5-7 NIV).

Personal Prayer: Father in heaven, our nation is in trouble. We have sinned against You and continue to do so. The recent Supreme Court decision reveals how much more wicked our nation is becoming. I pray for the church in America that she will repent and turn. I pray for our leaders that the Spirit of GOD would prick their hearts and change their minds. I pray for America as a whole that You would help us to recognize our only hope lies in You. Forgive us, O GOD, and help us to turn back to You before it is too late…in Jesus’ name…AMEN!
