Micah Hackett
As we are faced with the realities of immorality, we should be faced with the realities of judgment. Were not Sodom
and Gomorrah righteously judged? Has history not shown that the nation which compromises truth, denies God,
radically accepts sexual sin, and teaches others to do so will fall into chaos? Think about it, without God there is no
morality and no standard. Therefore, even governmental laws are put into question, because there is no ultimate
authority even to those laws. And if God doesnt exist, people do in fact have a right to ask why we should be moral
at all if it is all subjective. This kind of thinking has resulted in moral destruction, and if the generation coming will not
realize it, sad things will happen economically, socially, religiously, intellectually.
In reality, we are faced with three possibilities: 1). We will only go further into national decline and fall apart either
internally by economic, social collapse or externally by international war or invasion. This would be a sign of the
absence of Gods blessing. 2). The rapture, which will then bring judgment in the Tribulation for seven years. We
believe this to be a most plausible case, seeing as we are filled with signs of the times in more ways than any
other generation has been. 3). God could be trying to wake Christians up so that we might have revival once more
before the Lord calls His Bride home: this is the most preferable case, though it may or may not be true. Each of
these possibilities should solemnize our hearts and should make us consider what our response should be in such a
pagan culture.
Proof We Are Pagan
When we think of pagans, we think of Animistic African tribes who treat everything as if god, or perhaps we thing of
pagans as those who practice child sacrifice and hold fertility feasts centered around many open sex-oriented
practices. Thankfully, we are not in such a society today! Or are we?
How can we not see child sacrifice in our developed societies today? Have not over 1,000,000,000 living children
been sacrificed (aborted) to the god of Choice and Womens Rights? And ironically in the saline method of abortion
in which the child is poisoned, the result of the injection is a burning sensation on the babys little body for over an
hour until dead, as if it were a burnt offering and tribute to Choice. People of the world dont see it this way, but it is
the truth.
And in another aspect, can we not see pantheism in todays environmental and animal rights movement? Save the
trees! Protect the animals! But children? Who cares about them? Dont worry about murdering a precious body in
the most protected place on earth (the womb), but by no means kill an animal! How far have we departed from
sense!
But then, as to fertility feasts, gay pride parades serve to be a good modern-day equivalent. Public openness about
love and sexual orientation. Scantily clad men and women. They all are gathering in worship of the god of Sexual
Freedom and Rights.
How are we not living in a pagan society?
Dont Be Like Lot
Lot is the example of a Christian in pagan culture. Sodom was not only open but was adamant about homosexuality,
which gave Lot the choice between standing for truth or compromising with lies. He chose the lies. And because of
that, his family remained unconverted, he lost his wife to judgement, some of his children were consumed, and the
two daughters he had left made him drunk and took turns committing incest with him so that they could carry on the
