Why? Enemies of God

 

Political correctness is a set of beliefs that is in total opposition to God and righteousness. It is the system of the most ungodly and immoral people on earth. It is preached by our news media and entertainment industry, supported by our most radical politicians and is being taught to our children in the public school system as truth. The politically correct say we must support abortion on demand, accept homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle, decriminalize drug use, restrict religious freedoms, teach the theory of evolution in public schools as fact, punish the hard-working citizen while rewarding the indolent, open our borders to illegal immigrants, take weapons of defense from honest citizens, downsize our military to a point of ineffectiveness, allow for exorbitant lawsuits in our legal system, give preferences to minorities, oppose capitalism while supporting socialism, revise the taxing system so as to redistribute whatever assets are available thus eliminating the right to own property, give government controlled agencies more power and individuals less freedom, entrench the political party that is politically correct and attack all opponents of political correctness as often as possible. Their biggest claim to fame is they will save the planet from the people who live on it.

[Psalm 37] 7 “Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass…” Have you ever looked at life around you and become perplexed and frustrated? Doesn’t it seem that things go well for non-Christians? Doesn’t it seem like the very people that have turned their backs on God, displaying little or no interest in Him, are also the ones who “have it all together”? They seem to be really getting a lot out of life and enjoying a prosperous existence. Many, many righteous persons have felt these feelings. Job cried out in anguish of his soul, “Why do the wicked live and become old, Yes, become mighty in power?” (Job 21:7). The Psalmist observed, “Behold, these are the ungodly, Who are always at ease; They increase in riches” (Psalm 73:12). Jeremiah moaned, “Righteous are you, O Lord, when I plead with you; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?” (Jeremiah 12:1). It’s not so much out of envy that we look with astonishment at the apparent well-being of unbelievers around us. After all, the essence of a person’s life does not reside in his possessions (Luke 12:15). But absence of envy does not squelch the burning desire to know – WHY? What’s going on? Why do they seem to be doing so well? God answers these fretting’s. He wants us to be relieved of our perplexed and frustrated feelings. The whole of Psalm 37 is like a salve to an injured faith. 1 “Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And whither like the green herb.” The battle may seem to be going their way, but the war is not over! There is a time frame to take into account that transcends the immediate and monetary! “But the wicked are like the troubled sea, When it cannot rest, Whose waters cast up mire and dirt. ‘There is no peace,’ Says my God, ‘for the wicked’” (Isaiah 57:20-21). All of this hustle and going on around us is nothing more than futile restlessness! They’re frantically kicking mud up on the shore. They cannot experience the peace which the Christian enjoys, “…and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7). God is still on the thrown and the righteous will hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant…” (Matthew 25:14-46).
