Pursuit of Social Progress?

I was listening to the radio and I heard a story about Governor Cuomo from New York talking about a bill to legalize same sex marriages in that state. He was proud that as a democrat he stood for social justice and was all for social progress. After all, that is what the democrats do best. The problem is what he calls "social progress" is actually moral decay of our foundations as a nation. When we open the flood gates to allow what was once considered sick and perverted, the nation is doomed and faces God's judgement for going after this garbage.

People like Gov. Cuomo may think this is "social progress" but God has a totally different view of what he believes. You see God who is eternal is the same God today as He was yesterday and will be the same tomorrow. He does not change and His standards remain the same. What He called sin in the past He still does and will always call sin. I don't care what sin you may be speak of it remains sin. As a nation, we have gotten away from the biblical foundations laid by our founding forefathers. We excuse and embrace behaviors once seen as unacceptable in God's eyes. We may change how we view issues and call it "social progress" but God doesn't care what we think. He tells us in His Word what sin is and the consquences of sin. Ultimately the biggest consquence of sin is eternal death and separation from Christ in eternity. What an expensive cost for "social progress". Oh that we as a nation would get on our knees before God and seek His forgiveness and mercy for where we have gone as a nation. If we would do that, He promises to hear our prayers and heal our land (IChron 7:14) As beleivers in Jesus Christ, we need to stand up and hold up God's standards before the nation and the world. We do that by living holy lives before God and the world. Time is short for this world and we need to occupy doing the work of the kingdom while it is still day.

It is time we stop sitting back and watch the "social progress" that the world is pushing. How about we start to push back and remind folks what God declares in His Word? Remember that we are called to a battle for this nation and this worlds's souls. For God so loved the world that He sent His only Son into the world to save the world and not condemn it. Let's stand up and be counted!
