Personal Whining and Lamentations

On the failure of people to give honor to whom honor is due, I have some reflections.  And, yes, one of those who was not given due honor him is I! (Imagine that.  Assign it to human nature and personal perspective.)  I suppose everyone could write such an essay.  Nevertheless, here I indite my own for posterity – the record.  We are, indeed, commanded to “give honor to whom honor is due,” but in order to obey the command, one must be able to discriminate between “honorable” and “dishonorable” deeds.

When we fail to do what is commanded, we sin (a.k.a. the“sin of omission”).  To thepoint then: when we fail to honor our police for their service in enforcementof law, maintenance of justice,  and ourprotection – even as they risk their own lives – we sin. When we fail to honorour parents who protect and guide us, we sin. When we fail to honor our soldiers who risk their lives for us in war,we sin.  We fail to give honor to whomhonor is due.

When we fail to honor those who are denounced and then arewrongly imprisoned for saving the livesof unborn children (albeit by the necessary use of force) WE SIN! Period.

And so is the cases with churches and Christians across thecountry with regard to their treatment of those who have gone to jail fordamaging abortuaries or abortion “providers.” 

Shall I bother to name the hundreds of Americans across thecountry who have broken “the law” in an effort to rescue theinnocents?  How about those who havespent decades in jail for taking action to efficiently provide immediateprotection from murder by abortionists?

It has been many years – decades – that I have watched thepeople of God ignore, even despise, those who have shown such mercy to theinnocents.   This transgression eversickens me as I watch it go on and on and the holocaust continuesunabated.   The churches of our land areweak, indeed, and many apostate.
