Dylan Thomas said it better on a different topic, but I'd like to use his words today to urge a response to the celebration of the black hole of sin that has become American culture. “Repent and believe the Gospel!” was the simple message our Lord Jesus used to inaugurate His earthly ministry, “for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” Almighty God calls us all to thoroughly repent of our sin (change our mind about it, change our behavior, genuinely mourn what it has cost us, those we have sinned against, and our Savior who was stricken, smitten, and crucified for all our offenses of thought, word, action, and inaction).
     When our culture parades obscenity, perversion, evil, Satanism/black magic, and worships tolerance of everything unholy and intolerance of Holy Scriptures and the God Who literally inspired them, take your eyes off the temptation. get up and leave the area. Rage, rage against the dying of the light! Stand up against the mockery that is sure to come as you share the blinding light of God's Word, trusting that He can bring revival in His time! Read Matthew 5 and know you are blessed by Him, even as the world opines against you. Rage against the dying of the light in some points in our culture, confident that the Light of the World is Risen with healing in His wings and He lives forever, granting forgiveness and eternal life to all who repent and believe in Him!
