Depravity, Sex-Trafficking, Planned Parenthood and the Gospel

While the video below is enough to turn one's stomach, it should not be an occasion for surprise.  What you will see in this video depicts the irrationality of depravity.  This is a woman, who represents a government-funded organization, locking arms with a pimp and a prostitute to further the sex-trafficking of minors, as well as the murdering of the "industry-hindering" unborn.

The ease with which this woman accepts (and even aids) abortion, underage sex-trafficking, and prostitution must remind and awaken us to the intrinsic "oh crap!" that should follow our reading of passages like: "For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened" (Rom 1:21).

Sure, we can read these passages, hear them preached, and even argue for the validity of the truth they represent concerning God and mankind; but until we understand the real-life moral implications, until we bring our heads out of the theological clouds where we say things like, "Life is great because I know the doctrine of depravity!" - then we are doomed for immobility after being surprised into evangelical paralyzation (the adj evangelical here used to reference the sharing of the gospel, not to describe a particular Christian [Protestant] culture).

We who fail to see this sort of depravity in our own lives, tend to look down our theological noses at such scenes; but those who look down their noses rarely find themselves looking up to heaven for the sake of the depraved.  It is right to pray for justice and that God would bring His judgment upon these acts.  It is not right, however, to fail to see the redemptive purposes, plainly recorded in our Scriptures, of the Biblical episodes of judgment.  Simply put, in judgment God always brings forth a remnant - and this remnant must come through the glorious gospel.

I wonder if there is a remnant in cultures of depravity, sex-trafficking and abortion.  Upon further thought, I must conclude that there is.  After all, he saved me.  Watch the video.  Share your faith.
