a prayer – Lee Duigon

A friend posted on my chess page yesterday a news article about some famous model who posed with her four-year-old son done up in a pink dress and lady’s makeup, with the noozies cheerleading it all the way. I haven’t the heart to post a link to it.

If the sleep of reason breeds monsters, as Goya once said, the sleep of organized Christianity has bred whole herds of monsters. Our culture is rapidly becoming a 24/7 freak show.

I’m still waiting for an answer to this question: Why is teaching boys to be girls, and girls to be boys, any kind of good idea? What are we supposed to gain from this, besides confusion?

Oh Lord our God! Please remember, when you judge this age, that these things are done without our consent, against our will, and over our objections.

I know, I know–I’ve posted this song before. But it’s so beautiful. Its only connection to Christmas, really, is that it was part of the score in the 1951 movie version of “A Christmas Carol”–Scrooge, starring Alistair Sim. But in that the theme of that story, and that film, is redemption by the grace of God, that ties it in with Christmas.

So enjoy it. And meanwhile, a prayer.

Father in Heaven, make this Christmas season strong and mighty, to thaw frozen hearts and move us to love Our Lord Jesus Christ, our savior and our king. Give it power to shake and tear down the strongholds of this world, strongholds of pride and unbelief, arrogance and misbelief. Let the light of Christmas blaze forth, and blot out the lies and darkness of this age. O Father! Do as thou hast said. Make Christ’s enemies His footstool, and put the government upon His shoulder forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.
