Thomas Jefferson said, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."
This quote is the end of an enlighteneing article by Walter Williams here.
Surely this nation is more ignorant due to our lack of thanksgiving for our blessings. Similarly, as Hosea points out in Ch. 4:6, ignorance of God will destroy us spiritually because we will have rejected any hope of salvation.
While we are a part of this world - let's make sure we do not unequally yoke ourselves to it and become willfully ignorant like so many.
Amen brother, I know that it is amazing that God can forgive any sin. In fact, that is what the lesson i gave tonight was on. I talked about how even wicked Manasseh was able to enjoy God's grace. I just wanted to put some warnings out there that I and everyone needed to hear.
