I received a beautiful bouquet of cut flowers earlier this week for a get well wish. When I looked at them this morning, they were starting to wilt. It sadly reminded me of a quote by Elton Trueblood that America is "the cut flower generation." We have the semblance of life because of the momentum of the past. But we are cut off from the source of life [God], and we will eventually wither and die."

The tolerance of homosexuality and undermining of marriage in America is a symptom of a deeper problem. We are grappling with both Cosmic Humanism and Secular Humanism. Unfortunately, many Christians have embraced several of the lies espoused by the humanists as truth. Others have become people with many preferences but few convictions - not willing to sacrifice their money or effort, not willing to be persecuted.

Whether we win the battle for America's soul, we need to remember that God reigns and His will is perfect. We need to be faithful in proclaiming the Gospel and Glory of Christ to a world that desperately needs God. Finally, we must be willing to confront the darkness regardless of the consequences. The world will not take us seriously until they see we are willing to draw a line in sand whatever the costs.
