AN ONION IS A ROSE?

A wise old man held up an onion and said, “This is a rose.”

Then he explained that in an age when being cool is hot and being bad is good, an onion is a rose;

When a nation refuses to pray; when heaven can only be had on earth, when hell is only a joke, it’s a rose;

To a generation that thinks fornication is love and drunken stupor is a good time, it’s a rose;

When the right to kill an unwanted baby is called the right to choose, when what God calls an abomination we call gay, it’s a rose;

In a place where liquor referendum is a restaurant referendum and more sin means more prosperity, it’s a rose;

When fathers no longer try to be Dads and mothers refuse to be Moms, and families are defined as homeless, it’s a rose;

When shepherds scatter the sheep, when the blind see the light but choose darkness, when the stained can be washed the individual returns to the mire, it’s a rose; and

When the thirsty refuse to drink from the fountain, it’s a rose.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter” (Is. 5:20).

Dear Lord, help us to know the difference between Your truth, and the lies Satan tells us everyday.
