A nation that is pushing ever closer to total moral reprobation is not likely to rush to the fountain of theological wisdom or prophetic warning. But since God has been careful to tell us over and over again how much he loves us, (John 3: 16) and those in the world around us, it is appropriate that his messengers are so relentless.
We use Biblical examples to help us see our state, some more effective than others, and yet, some so spot on that we may want to kill the messenger. Don't hurt the mouthpiece, but don't fail to hear the clarion call of the trumpet. Our lives and futures depend upon it!
