"Our neglect is like spitting at the face of God"
By Shelley Ortiz
Our neglect is like spitting at the face of God! He gives us marvelous gifts and we destroy it. Lack of gratitude and neglect are testimonies of our sin of selfishness. We live for the here and now and do not care about what we will leave behind. It takes individual then corporate discipline follows. If we truly worship the Creator, we will cherish and care for His creation. However, many do not believe in the creation account and therefore they probably leave it up to "mother nature" to take care of itself as they continue to plunder...No wonder God is angry with the wicked everyday! Make money now as if money will add a day to their lives? No, God has already assigned those days way before we were born. But people continue to defy God and raise their fists at Him and say, we can do better so therefore leave us alone!. Well, our work is right in front of us (and around the necks of the poor creatures underwater).
The world authorities cannot even protect us from the drug smugglers, they use the Pacific (via Infanta shores and the neighboring towns) waters to ferry their poison, and it is illegal, we have lots of laws against it, but seems like a losing battle, illegal logging is - yes - illegal, yet people (in authority or blessed by those in authority) do it. The Pharisees wrote up hundreds of rules for the Jews to follow, yet God sent down only 10, a simple list to follow, yet always broken. Rules and laws help drive the point across, but it takes individual action and personal sense of responsibility to fix things.
Let's be the 10 righteous (who follow as Jesus leads) and we know that God will respond to Abraham's plea and spare the new "Sodom."
I applaud all those countries whose people are trying to do what's right.
