Chapter 9: Rationalization of Mankind

Page 32

For most of our U.S. history, the world could reason correctly that the

United States was a moral nation. Now almost half of the U.S. voters will vote for immoral candidates and for laws that support licentiousness. Does politics matter to God? We do have moral people in this country. But make no mistake about it, we can no longer be reasoned as a moral nation by much

of the world today. Much of the world has to now rationalize the idea of the United States being a moral nation. Why? It is because of the unchecked increase in immorality that exists across the U.S. We have a long way to go to get back to the point where it is universally reasoned by the rest of the

world that the United States is still a moral nation.

Can The United States Remain A Moral Nation?

Before I knew God, I reasoned that abortion was okay. For me, it was

the simple matter that no one should tell my wife what she could do with her own body. I wasn’t into morality; I was into my family’s legal rights. I just assumed she would never want to abort my children. But what if she had? How would I have felt about that? After all, it is her body isn’t it? What she

does with her body isn’t anyone else’s business, is it? I can certainly tell you that whatever you do is God’s business. He is looking and He sees it all. Nothing is hidden from God and “the wages of sin is [eternal] death.”

Was I reasoning or rationalizing about abortion? I was rationalizing because reason has to take into account God’s Word on the subject. That is what wisdom is all about. Remember, you get half the picture or less if you operate only from a human perspective. You must also consider the DIVINE

to get the total picture. What can be reasoned from God’s Word? What does mankind rationalize?

Abortion Is Rationalization!

Excusing An Immoral President Is Rationalization!
