POPE RIGHT ON RE
CONDOMS
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Throwing condoms all over Africa won’t stop AIDS.
Throwing condoms around the planet won’t stop AIDS.
Isn’t
it silly to think that condoms tossed right and left will rid the world
of AIDS? Just another evidence of world-think gone berserk.
Pope Benedict
said to media on his African tour that the continent needs Christ. It
needs the gospel. It needs God’s light to shine in soul darkness.
The
Pope rejected the cry that condom campaigns will stave off AIDS
increase. Liberals hate that kind of talk. They despise anyone
championing biblical morality.
All the more proof that that
is the right answer. The more the AIDS demons scream for attention and
acceptance, the more the gospel message riles them to the lowest nerve.
Therefore, in these difficult times, biblical moral bases must be recited repeatedly far and wide, never compromising
the specific thrust of God’s Word.
Though worldlings celebrate unbridled sex on TV sitcoms, movies, magazines and whatevers, such only increases disease and death.
The
same with B. H. Obama endorsing sodomy. He wails over AIDS increase
while at the same time blessing homosexual alliances that spread the
mortals’ last hour.
Moralists know this quagmire all too much. We deal with it every day. It’s an old fight.
Per AP: “The pope told reporters that distributing condoms to fight AIDS actually ‘increases the problem.’
“He
said a responsible and moral attitude toward sex would be more
effective. Benedict said, ‘The saving message of the Gospel needs to be
proclaimed loud and clear so that the light of Christ can shine into the darkness of people's lives.’”
Get it? It’s the “saving message of the Gospel” that will overcome evil. It redeems the soul. It implants
hope. It provides a right living style. It prepares the spirit for heaven. It pushes back devils that would damn.
“. . .the light of Christ. . .”
It is that light that can bring about a personal conversion experience.
In the ministry for half a century, I have been privileged to witness
these conversions over and over again, some of them dealing with most
difficult, twisted lives.
The light of Christ is that power
that can cancel sin when the truly repentant confesses all to the
Savior, vows to serve this Christ till death, and then marches forth
empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
“On
a continent largely ruled by dictators, the pope declared that ‘a
Christian can never remain silent’ in the face of violence, poverty,
hunger, corruption or abuse of power.”
