Brainwashing?

We have all heard of the frog in the warm water....right? If you place the frog in the warm water it stays comfortable and once you turn up the heat the frog adjusts to the temperature all the while not realizing that eventually he will be cooked! That's more or less what happens.....

Over the years there has been a whole lot of brainwashing going on in our society...
All you and I have to do is to look back in our parents lives and then in our own lives to see how much we have adjusted to our surroundings. The things that we once saw as shocking are now happenings that take place regularly in our daily world and we don't bat an eye about it.

I remember a time when people with tatoos were considered racy and rebellious..now everyone has them.. (I will not compromise)

I remember a time when Christians considered drinking a sin...now most christians do the "social" thing and have a drink or two...(I will not compromise)

I remember a time when Sunday Church was a must...now many take a day off to handle business, or have a family outing, etc... (I will not compromise)

I remember a time when Christianity was the only way to God...now many believe we must accept the muslim faith as truth...Kabbalah is another truth...Scientology is another truth...take your pick... (I will not compromise)

A few nights ago we were watching a new dateline episode. Cameras were hidden and it was a show where actors portrayed an injustice and people "bystanders" either reacted or ignored the situation. It was called "What would you do". The first scenario was in a grocery store...

A down syndrome boy was the actor and he was working as a bagger. The rude customer was an actor as well...she proceeded to say nasty things to the bagger and insulting him..saying things like..."I can't believe they hire these retards"...it was awful to hear. Interestingly, most people just ignored her comments. A few people stepped up "Mainly Women". I was shocked as to how many people did not want to get involved and just compromised their "true shock" with silence.

The next scenario was in a restaurant. There was a Lesbian couple with their kids having dinner at a table. The Lesbian couple and family were the actors... They showed them kissing and being very outwardly affectionate in the restaurant. The other actor was offended by this couple and asked them to stop kissing...etc. This is where my gut began to tighten...

Once again...brainwashing was taking place in our society. We are suppose to view these two scenarious as equal? We are to sympathize with the Lesbian family the same way we are to sympathize with the down syndrome boy alike? I turned the channel. No one is going to dictate to me what is right and what is wrong. I can make up my own mind.

I DO NOT AGREE WITH HOMOSEXUALITY!!! It's a sin!

I have a true compassion for the individual that is living this lifestyle and will pray for them. They need our prayer and love, no doubt about it. Given the opportunity I will help them just like anyone else. But I will not accept this lifestyle as it is being portrayed...."they were born like this?". No, sorry that is a brainwashing that is taking place in our society....

Sometimes I yearn for the old days...there is so much confusion in our world today. So much compromising going on....no absolutes any more.

In the history of the Bible there is always a Remnant...I want to be in that number. I don't want society to dictate my beliefs. I don't want to look back 10 or 20 years from now and see that I have adjusted or changed my views....
Sin is Sin...we should be able to recognize it and not make excuses for it...we should be able to recognize the sin in our own lives and repent of them.

How much have you changed...have you compromised something?

Lets pray together: "Lord, help me to be true to you alone. Do not allow other ideals or philosophies that are not from you to enter my thoughts. In Jesus' name AMEN!"
