THERE’S A TIME & A SEASON

June 30, 2004

America is the land of “microwave lifestyles”. It’s assumed that one can graduate from college and immediately have a cushy, high-paying job, a new home, and a house full of furniture. What happened to the days when you got married, and moved into an apartment with half the rooms empty? Anyone old enough to remember those days?

Many remember Viet Nam and the press is getting bored with the violence in Iraq. We are beginning to hear the volume of rhetoric increase over the loss of military lives. You see, it’s assumed that we march into baghdad, announce our arrival, set up shop, establish a new government, and then move out in 90 days. Well, you can assume it all day long, but it’s not happening.

We’re a nation with no patience and enormous lust and greed for anything we want: which is a lot. The thought of having to wait for something is a fading concept. It’s more than a me generation, it’s a me now society. don’t blame the kids, blame the adults who fostered it and gave it life.

Last night I was reminded of all this as I attended a Tom Delay dinner wherein he spoke of how he has battled for the end to partial-birth abortion for 12 years. TWELVE! And this is the year that a bill will be passed. He has had patience and waited for his moment. Then this morning, I just posted a story that said women who support pro-life are now in the majority.

You see, christians are no different than non-christians when it comes to patience. Many anti-abortion zealots just could not wait so they yelled, screamed, demonstrated, blocked abortion clinic doors, and even shot and killed abortion doctors. But, it was not the time: now it is. Wouldn’t it be nice to know things like the tribe of Issachar (I chron. 12:32)? and, be able to wait!
