“SOWING AND REAPING”
By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.
A multitude of years ago God spoke concerning human behavior. He taught that a person or country would reap whatever they sowed (see Romans 6:23; Galatians 6:7; II Peter 2:13; Revelation 20:11-15). Sometimes it takes a “long time” for the results of wrong living to be realized - but just as sure as the sun will arise again, mankind will reap for his wrong-doing.
Often today, someone will ask why are we seeing so much violence surfacing from the lives of our youth. The news reveals that children in their preteens are carrying guns to school and shooting students as well as teachers and parents in cold blood. We read of young teenage boys mercilessly raping little girls or elderly women, and having no remorse. Often children are found mutilating small animals for the joy of it. Why is this ungodly and viciousness increasing? One is not required to have a Ph.D. degree to see the hand-writing on the wall”, as to why the U.S.A. is reaping what she has sown.
Many years ago, our tax dollars began to be used to buy textbooks which taught that man had evolved from a monkey (Theory Of Evolution). This basically went unchallenged by the American public. After all, the “Educated” with many degrees were supposed to be “in the know”. However, there were a handful of Bible believers who shouted “foul”, as they realized the Bible teachings were being contradicted (Theory Of Evolution), but most of America was busy making a living and would not join in the battle to challenge the anti-God movement.
The Theory Of Evolution teaches that man was made in the image of an animal instead of in the image of a Holy God, which the Bible describes. A God who has stated that human beings are responsible to one another and to Him as the Creator. Since God brought all into existence, He has the right to make the rules. He says that one must be taught to live peacefully with each other or bear the consequences. Thus, our youth have been taught:
1) He is not a creation of God and not accountable to Him, now or later
2) Man has the right to select his own life style (such as being “Gay”, or “Living Together”), no matter what God says about such (Immorality)
3) There are no absolutes in life and man has the right to do as he sees fit, as long as others involved give their consent
Thus, America now reaps what she has sown. REPENTANCE is the answer.
