Hosea 4:6
KJV - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forsaken the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
NIV - My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.
There is a terrible disease sweeping America - it is called "stupidity." Most of us are plugged in to some type of gadgetry and the media tells us what to think while we overlook the significant issues of the day; namely, we are losing our soul because we ignore God. Intelligence is measured by test scores and kids with names like David, Matthew, or Mary have no idea their names have a biblical origin. We definitely suffer from a lack of knowledge and the consequences are horrible. Our children are being murdered as we wallow in our ineptitude.
I hope some of you were able to participate in "Life Chain." It is an annual event to protest the national holocaust of the murder of 53 million babies - 4,000 every day. Not to give ourselves virtuous airs for standing by the road for a mere hour when truly great people are active fighting this awful national blight every day. Our family was in Trenton, FL against the backdrop of 4,000 crosses our church placed in the lot adjacent to the church to symbolize the mass murder and multi-billon dollar industry championed by hands that truly shed innocent blood.
In our rural north Florida town, most who passed were supportive, some were indifferent, and some were down right hostile. I felt nothing but pity for those who spoke obscenities with their one finger salutes raised high. People are so ignorant of God to think He doesn't notice what we are doing and that He will hold us accountable for what we have allowed our nation to become. Moreover, their ignorance is our calling. The next time you encounter this prevalent and devastating disease, you'd better speak up.
God will definitely hold us accountable for being politically correct or too polite to tell the Lost that one day in the not too distant future, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
