She Who Changed America ... for Worse (Part 2)

The atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair was the driving force behind the unfortunate Supreme Court decision to ban prayer from public school in 1963.

How tragic, because Madalyn was so very un-American. She was vile, filled with rage, immoral …and perverted.

When someone like Madalyn believes there is no God, then there is no right and wrong. No morality. This profanity-laced woman had sexually explicit statues around her home. That turns my stomach. Her son said she worshiped these statues.

Although we may never stoop to something so appalling, let us beware and take heed. There is almost always a link between sexually explicit things and dishonoring, violent behavior. God continually warns against such debased, detestable things and practices throughout the Old Testament for good reason.

Instead, Psalm 101:3 teaches us the path of life, “I will set before my eyes no vile thing.”

And Luke 6:45 teaches, “The good  man (or woman) brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.”

We must renounce, get rid of, and work to steer away from all things impure or immoral. This step begins clearing out the muck. In 1 Peter 1:15, God calls us to holiness, “But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior.”

There is no middle ground here for those who want to walk in the glorious promise of Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God (emphasis added).”

Another crucial step is to put on the new self in Christ. Mainly, we do this by feeding ourselves continually with the pure Word of God. It cleanses and renews our minds.

God call us to be radical about living in purity. In every nook and cranny of our heart and life. Moral purity—the bedrock of holiness—fans the flame of true joy, peace, freedom, and rich relationships in the Holy One who redeemed and called you.
