A Bandaid on Cancer

Jeremiah 8:11-12 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. "Peace, peace," they say, when there is no peace.
12 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. NIV

Our culture today fails to realize the serious of the illness of sin. It's not a minor thing, this rebellion against God that we inherited from Adam. It isn't something you can just put a Bandaid on think it will go away. The illness is too deep for that. We need chemotherapy spiritually and that only comes by the deep cleansing power of the blood of Jesus Christ.

Our culture says we should strive for peace on earth when when we are at war with God who is a far more potent foe than we can imagine. Why are we at war? Because our sins have separated us from God and He obliterates anything evil by His mere presence.

Finally our culture has fallen to the point that we are no longer capable of understanding what sin even is. We no longer blush when confronted with evil, we simply accept it and if not then we are "narrow minded."

There is an absolute good and an absolute evil. God is good and we as humans are evil. The only way out of the terminal condition of humanity is to repent, blush if you will, and turn to the Great Physician for our healing, which only comes through Christ.
