How “Liberalism” Poisons Everything

It was Michael Savage, the unofficial "shock jock" of conservative talk radio, that claimed in a book that "liberalism is a mental disease." I am far from being a Savage fan, but on this issue, howbeit using some hyperbole, he was absolutely correct. One point of clarification needs to be added here, though. The liberalism that Mr. Savage, and I, have in mind is not the classical liberalism of decades past. Rather, it is the liberalism that truly has poisoned everything. It is the liberalism that has become a nasty version of leftism and that is interested in attacking and destroying rather than building.

The Modern Worshippers of Molech

 

“The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Say to the people of Israel, Any one of the people of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. I myself will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given one of his children to Molech, to make my sanctuary unclean and to profane my holy name. And if the people of the land do at all close their eyes to that man when he gives one of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death, then I will set my face against that man and against his clan and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in whoring after Molech” (Leviticus 20:1-5).

"The Sinner Friendly Church"

"The term worldliness sounds archaic to many in the church today. They dismiss it as a concern for a gentler, less-enlightened time, back when card games and dancing were considered major threats to the sanctity and purity of the church. In fact, some believers are so enamored with their freedom in Christ that they view any discussion of worldliness as a worn-out legalistic imposition. In spite of the clear statement from heaven that “friendship with the world is enmity with God” and that “whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God” (James 4:4), the suggestion that Christians should separate themselves from worldly values and worldly amusements is a nonstarter.
