The normalization of evil occurs because we let it happen...
Complacency is not a virtue... And neither is cowardice.
Do you ever wonder how we got to this place? A world in which children can “pick” their gender, woke doctors mutilate kids, and everybody from politicians to… *cough*… “pastors” embraces depravity and outright evil?
I do—and the ugly answer is: we let it happen… Like the slo-boiled frog, we dismissed warnings, ignored evil, and allowed depravity into every corner of life… We gave ground, slept—then, labeled “extreme,” became the frog.
“EXTREME,” you say? Yes, their mantra—extreme for believing God made two sexes… Extreme for refusing to redefine marriage... Extreme for opposing boys in girl’s bathrooms.
We LET… THIS… HAPPEN… Did nothing as situation comedies - gems like “The Bob Newhart Show” and “Mary Tyler Moore” - degraded (slo-boil) into “Two and a Half Men.” We watched, did nothing, as Disney transmogrified, embracing (light simmer) sexual activism and smut. We accepted lies, the normalization of deviance, and let what’s normal - the nuclear family, blue for boys, pink for girls - be turned on its head.
Thus, today, if you approach moral issues - marriage, race, transgenderism - traditionally, you’re reviled… Ostracized. It’s analogous to math adherents, people who say 2 + 2 = 4, being told, “No, it’s 5,” and if you object, you’re cancelled... Bizarre?
Indeed.
But truth doesn't matter—liars dissemble... Farce becomes “fact.” And anyone on the “wrong” end of deception - i.e., logic’s end - is destroyed.
Transgenderism, Black Lives Matterism, Critical Racism—they’re of the same monster... And the reason they’re ubiquitous (and influential) is we let it grow, devour, and infiltrate daily life... Seen the Boy Scouts lately? Read your child’s curriculum? Checked your public library's schedule?
We LET... IT... HAPPEN... When Antifa/BLM trashed American cities where was the public pushback? Counterprotest? Defense of law?
Nowhere.
Activism demands ACTion, which the Left takes literally.
But it isn’t as if we haven’t seen it before... The source of all truth - now labeled “non-inclusive” and “bigoted” - records deviance.
II Timothy: 3: 2-4… For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitorous, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
Philippians 3:18-19… For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and tell you now even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, 19 whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things.
The Bible is always right. Never wrong. But it’s important to remember the LEFT’s religiosity… Black Lives Matter is a religious organization, as is Planned Parenthood, which though it prefers blacks dead (30 million and counting), is BLM’s forerunner.
Indeed, pre-Roe versus Wade, the decision (1973) which empowered evil, Planned Parenthood was in its sixth decade of killing.
Thus another verse comes to mind:
John 8:44… “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
Not exactly “bipartisan”... The speaker is Jesus.
But hit the street and say that... Profess Christ’s truth at the workplace seminar, the corporate picnic, the office “holiday” party…
How’d we get here?
We rode consumerism to detachment, let prosperity diminish clarity, and chose complacency over action… Complacency ruined lives. But it’s one thing to be naive and inert (to be ignorant) and another to witness evil and let it grow.
And it grew... Thus, there’s no alibi, not now, no excuse for complacency—currently, to be so, is to be a coward.
Because we’re past simmer, gentlemen—the water is HOT.
And the question is: Can we get out? When I read headlines, seek my country, I’m dubious.
But I pray that we can... In prayer there’s power; in prayer there’s energy. And we won’t defend Freedom short of revival—the power, passion, and purview of God.
