You may remember the stories and movies depicting the act of tossing the young virgin into the mouth of the volcano in order to appease the “gods.”[1] Or maybe the bloody altar of stone used as the robed religious leader plunges a knife into the young victim and then place the body on a burning sacrifice. Human life can so easily be degraded to an instrument of appeasement to an angry god or ruler. The ancient Incas used child sacrifice “to appease the gods and to provide servants for its deceased emperors.”[2]
Child/baby sacrifice…we consider these ancient rituals to be an abhorrent and ugly part of humanity’s history. Yet it continues to this day in cultures around the world and even here in our own nation. In our modern day culture we refer to this practice as abortion. Not only has this practice been given acceptable status by many, but it is considered a protected right for parents to sacrifice their child to…to what? To freedom of sexual promiscuity without responsibility? To a foremost plank in a political platform to evoke dedication and therefore power to the politico? What a choice to put in place as the backbone of a belief system. Even after birth the trend is to mutilate and destroy God’s creation through the defilement and mutilation of our children in body and mind. Critical Race Theory and transgenderism are all about following Satan’s efforts to destroy any and all parts of God’s beautiful creation…man and woman. We willingly offer our most precious and most vulnerable up to be sacrificed to the gods of death, evil, sorrow, distress, total calamity and chaos. In so doing we are giving up our godly culture to be destroyed.
Webster’s Dictionary defines evil as: “abhorrent, abominable, dreadful, hideous, nauseating, noxious, obscene” Even this list of descriptors does not come close to defining God’s view of evil. Abortion and the “woke” agenda certainly fit right in. Proverbs 6:16-19 states that there are things the Lord hates, “…hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, a false witness who breathes out lies…” and others. Further, we read in Revelation 2:18, “But as for the cowardly, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral…and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur…” God hates evil. He warns us that, “…what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.” -Luke 16:15 To those who do evil, God states, “You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.” John 8:44.
Only Jehovah God is the Father of love, truth and salvation. How obvious are we in our lives that we are His children? Take a stand, live in love and speak truth to this generation.
