Thanks to Star Parker for continuing to expose the moral bankruptcy of the Left and its rotten fruit seen in the reality associated with the normalization of sexual perversion. The rejection of the Christian world view leads to godlessness and lawlessness. Our magistrates debate government mandated health care in a city given to moral corruption.

The Bible instructs us concerning the men of Sodom and the only man to escape its destruction…
So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law…and said, “Get up, get out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city!” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking. [Genesis 19:14]
The faith of the holy man, Lot, appeared first in this, that he was completely awed and humbled at the threatenings of God; secondly, that in the midst of destruction, he yet laid hold of the salvation promised to him. In inviting his sons-in-law to join him, he manifests such diligence as becomes the sons of God; who ought to labor by all means, to rescue their own families from destruction. But when Moses says, ‘he appeared as one who mocked’; the meaning is, that the pious old man was despised and derided, and that what he said was accounted as a fable; because his sons-in-law supposed him to be seized with delirium, and to be vainly framing imaginary dangers…
Where there is no religion, and no fear of God, whatever is said concerning the punishment of the wicked, vanishes as a vain and illusory thing. And hence we perceive how fatal an evil security is, which so inebriates, yea, fascinates, the minds of the wicked, that they no longer think God sits as Judge in heaven; and thus they stupidly sleep in sin, till, while they are saying, ‘Peace and safety’, they are overwhelmed in sudden ruin…
But their indolence ought to awaken us to the fear of God, so that we may be always careful; but more especially when some token of the wrath of God presents itself before us. [Calvin]
