The stone........after the throw.
The word.........after it's said..
The occasion........after it's missed.
The time.........after it's gone.
FROM A DEAR FRIEND IN NC.
State of the Church
From the book “The Church Awakening” by Charles R. Swindoll
“We live in an age that has drifted from a wholesome standard of morality to a wholesale and undiscerning emphasis on tolerance. Biblical standards are being replaced with political correctness. Criminals are being defended more passionately than victims. If we claim something is immoral, we are marked as bigoted, prejudiced, and out of touch. If we stand against same-sex marriage, we are branded as intolerant, homophobic, and guilty of “hate speech.” If we are pro-life, we are seen as anti-women, narrow-minded, and lacking compassion. If we promote abstinence as the best method for birth control, as well as for preparation for a healthy marriage, we become a laughing stock, and we’re told we don’t live in the real world.
Even though Scripture clearly states what is right and wrong, we have no hearing in the world’s ears.”
