Men loved darkness...

Posted on 11/27/2007 on my other blog space.

(Joh 3:19) And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Last night before going to bed a made a quick check of the news on foxnews.com and within seconds found two articles on a natural parent and a step parent involved in the death of a child. Not the accidental death of the child but a death that involved the child being brutalized by those responsible for the child's care before it died. The very person this child should have been able to run to for love, comfort, and safety was the person depriving the child of those very things to the final brutal end of depriving them of their very lives.

In a quote from the story on Baby Grace the child whose body was found in Galveston Bay we show more empathy for the memory of the child then the child received in her brief brutal life

Quoting the article: sheriff's Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo said Tuesday on CBS' "The Early Show." One of the things authorities are looking at is whether or not there was a pattern of abuse against the girl, he said.

"In a little over 20 years of doing this, I've seen a lot ... of heartbreaking cases," he said. "I think this one certainly still remains in our hearts and always will."

the second story is equally brutal do you need to read it to grasp the evil? I don't think so; I think we can understand evil without reading each brutal detail. We do not need to immerse ourselves in evil to comprehend it's nature.
I only post the link to the story since I used a quote from it. Our morals, our compassion, our system have become so skewed and lacking God that our children are paying the ultimate price.
I should not be shocked we have long held no value for human life before it leaves the womb; we have begun to devalue those who are at the end of their lives by endorsing the "right to die". Is this not just the natural extension of a climate that does not value life? After all we are an accident of time and chance in the current world view. We have removed God from every aspect of life - our schools, our homes, our government, our view on the very nature of who we are and how we came to be.
(Gen 1:27) So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
(Psa 139:14) I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
Psa 139:15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Psa 139:16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
