This weeks major oil spill, in the Gulf of Mexico from BP’s underwater drilling, has caused much consternation and anger in America. Yesterday President Obama rolled his sleeves up, to issue a statement that America will do all it can to reduce the environmental impact of this accident. He added, however, that BP (British Petroleum) will be getting the bill. A very resolute and robust response was needed, because the impact on the ecosystem in the Gulf of Mexico and it’s coastlines is likely to be terrible. Everyone is, quite rightly, concerned about this.
Would, however, the US President, or any world leader, be so vocal, proactive and personally involved, if what was bubbling up from under the sea was human blood? Many UK and US oil companies have done very well out of the removal of Saddam Hussein in Iraq… but the price… the terrible price. So much blood cries out from the ground to The Lord.
And what if all the babies murdered by abortion since Obama’s first action as President last year, i.e. dissolving the “Mexico City Policy”, could be illustrated in blood. Imagine if the amount of innocent blood spilt was in the Gulf of Mexico, instead of that oil slick? It would be about right, proportionately.
Do any politicians still worship Canaan’s “Moloch” today, I wonder? The sacrifice of all the unborn, has seriously damaged and polluted the spiritual and moral environment! But not many think in these terms or challenge it.
Who will pay the bill for this type of spiritual clean up? If they would but turn to The Lord in repentance, they would see He has paid the price in the blood of His own Son, Jesus Christ.
Christians… challenge the Spiritual Climate-change that is happening, not just outside, but inside the church. We must combat Global luke-warming.
