Cultural Morality? NO!
I know it seems that I'm beating a dead horse with this post but it just seems like people aren't grasping the error of being involved with this movement of making the cultural more moral. Below are 16 Reasons why Christians should not be involved in the cultural morality movement. Please don't ask me to explain these in detail for more details please download the sermon preached by John MacArthur titled "The Deadly Dangers of Moralism". It really turns my stomach to hear Christians attack those who are dead in their trespasses and sins and have yet to been born again, as if one thinks that they some how mustered up their own good morals and then were regenerated. Where is the compassion for the lost?

This is a very good post. I have wondered how some of those who are very active politically can not see that there is a hugh difference between the regenerated and those who are not. There really are more than two sins that are currently being committed in this culture and just where in scriptures are we commanded to be politically active? You would have thought that slavery would have risen to the threshold of being politically active but the old testament is richly instructive on dealing with slavery.I am glad that we do not have slavery (in this country) any more. Maybe we should study history and see how\what abolished it. Was it strictly and only political action or was there a genuine revival in the cultural that enabled that outcry against slavery to have teeth politically? Wouldn't our time be better spent in bringing God glory by proclaiming the real gospel than being politically active?
