We Will Survive

I am shocked by the media frenzy over the news of Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol and her pregnancy. I'm even more shocked that some christians are wanting to tar and feather her as well.

Christians have had their heads in the sand for far too long. Do you not know what has been happening to our teenagers??? We have worked with teens for over 20 years and have seen the statistics in action. We were told in the 80's from 16 year old kids in the public school system that we should work with the 11 and 12 year olds because that was the age they were starting to have sex!

Do you not see what Hollywood has been portraying to our children over the last 20 years?? The media has helped to "push" the lifestyles of the rich and famous along to our kids and now they're the ones who are like wolves trying to strangle the life out of this family who are trying to do something to change our country!

And now some christians, too, are jumping on the bandwagon in the guise of "purity" to have her tarred and feathered! Remember what Jesus said to the woman who was accused of adultery by the scribes and Pharisees...He said "Hath none condemned thee?" She said "No man, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn thee; go, and sin no more."  And what did he say to her accusers? He said in John 8:7 "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." God counts our sins the same as he counts hers. If you think for one minute that your sins that you commit every day are less than hers, then you just committed another one -- pride. Be careful, friends, that you don't fall into that pit.

Could it be that Bristol and her boyfriend have asked the Lord's forgiveness and have received that forgiveness from the One who gave His life for them and for us? And could it be that we should be glad for the life of this little one in the womb that has not been aborted? Shame on us as christians for letting this country of ours get this far and doing nothing about it! At least Sarah Palin is trying.

Oh, and by the way, check out your own TV set tonight and think about what it's teaching our kids....

God help our families!
