Lately I have heard people say that they don’t care what other people do in their own homes, just as long as they don’t push their agenda on them. At first I didn’t think anything of it, then it started to bother me.
I have to be honest and sincere. It does matter to me what people do in their private lives, because what they do in the house effects what they will do and how they will act outside their private lives. It is just the facts. There is no getting around it.
So yes, I do care what you do in the privacy of your house. In a broad sense, that is. No, I am not going door to door checking up on my neighbors or family. But we do need to care.
We need to care that many men and now women are looking at pornography in the privacy of their homes and it is effecting how they relate in the outside world. Many a rape, incest, molestation, murder case can be linked to the addiction of pornography. To not such an extreme, this addiction is breaking up families, which in turn hurts children, which effects how they function in life.
This is just one example of how what we do in the privacy of our homes does matter. I can’t turn my back on what is going on. I have to stand up for what I believe in. I have to stand up for what is right.
Am I going door to door condemning my neighbors? No. But, I can’t say that I won’t speak up when given the opportunity and I certainly, at the very least, must be honest with myself and true to my God, that I do care what others do. To say that I don’t care, would be to say I really don’t care about humanity.
So, to anyone who says that they don’t care what others do as long as they don’t push it on them, I ask you to really think it through. I understand where you are coming from, but if we are truly honest, we do care. When something is wrong, it is wrong; inside the house or outside.
We must stop the political correctness and stand up for what is right.
I agree that we should care what people do. One of the main reasons is that God cares, and if we don’t want to see Him hurt or disappointed, we need to care what’s going on in people’s lives.
We cannot say that because something doesn’t directly affect us at that moment, that it doesn’t matter. You are right – it will eventually have an effect on how they live their lives in public.
Good post.
