Crazy news stories seem to be appearing with more frequency, don't you think?
A few days ago a man walked into a McDonald's with a dead raccoon and set it on a table.
No joke.
Raccoon was big too.
It's easy to shake your head at such stories, but we shouldn't be surprised.
The book of Deuteronomy warns when a nation gets so full of itself it doesn't see the need for God anymore, there'll be consequences (Dt.8:11ff.)
One of these consequences is madness (Dt.28:28) -- and we sure have plenty of that in modern America.
The craziness shouldn't demoralize us though...
... it should open our eyes to the need to disciple our nation.
That's a big job, no doubt.
But you never know how much sanity even you can bring by applying God's Word faithfully to the world around you.
