Dear God:

How did this get started?

Dear Concerned Student:

Let's see; I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained she didn't want any prayer in your schools. And the people said, "Okey-dokey."

Then, someone said, "You better not read the Bible in school, the Bible that says 'Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbors as yourself,'"and the people said, "OK."

Then, Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehaved because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem. And the people said, "An expert should know what he's talking about, so we won't spank them anymore."

Then someone said, "Teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave. And the school administrators said, "No faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued." And the people accepted their reasoning.

Then someone said, "Let's let our daughters have abortions if they want, and they won't even have to tell their parents." And the people said, "That's a grand idea."

Then some wise school board member said, "Since boys will be boys and they're going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they want, so they can have all the fun they desire, and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school." And the people said, "That's another great idea."

Then some of our top elected officials said, "It doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs." And the people said, "Yeah, it doesn't matter what anybody, including the President, does in private as long as we have jobs and the economy is good."

Then someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children and then stepped further still by making them available on the Internet. And the people said, "Hey, everyone not raising money for a political campaign is entitled to free speech."

Then the entertainment industry said, "Let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence and illicit sex. And let's record music that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes." And the people said, "C'mon, it's just entertainment; it has no adverse effect and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead."

Now the people are asking ourselves why their children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, classmates or even themselves. Undoubtedly, if the people had thought about it long and hard enough, they could figure it out. I'm sure it would have a great deal to do with, "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."

If they thought about any of this at all, that is. I would love it if they did; I want so much to see them come to Me in repentance and contrition, so that I can forgive them and lavish My mercy and lovingkindness upon them. I sent My own Son to be nailed to a cross for them; there is nothing I wouldn't do to reconcile them, and their children, to Myself.

Unfortunately, My hands are tied. Because, as I said in My last note, I'm not allowed in the people's schools - or pretty much anywhere else in their society.

My servant Paul recorded My thoughts on a people that gets so misdirected. Please read them, and teach them to your children someday. It may save more than their lives.


Sincerely,

God
