Rage, Rage against the dying of the light

By Ray Rogers

Because I love the light my hearts sinks as I look across the twilight sky and see the darkness coming.

Then there are those who love the darkness. They yearn for it, they can't wait for it because it hides their sins. The lovers of darkness feel so much bolder when darkness covers the world. They rejoice together feeling confident in their ungodliness.

Yet still we lovers of the light become angry at those that rejoice in the darkness. Being angry doesn't mean that you hate someone. Quite the contrary, it is those that you love that make you the most angry.

We who have been led by the Spirit of Truth know what is good and when we see the goodness being taken over by the status quo it breaks our hearts and makes us angry.

Another Christian institution has fallen to the darkness of the world. I'm of course talking about the Boy Scouts of America. An institution that was created to help build a child's character. What I want to know is why would an 11 year old boy be obsessing over sex and whether he was gay or not when he should be learning about first aid and earning merit badges. 

I'm sure that it wasn't a child who made being gay in the scouts an issue. It had to be someone who had a beef with the fact that they can't stand anything in this world that is pure and wholesome.

God's word does tell us that there will be those that will call good evil and evil good. Light darkness and darkness light.

Those who love darkness become angry with us because we who love the light get upset at the dying of the light. They say hateful things, they laugh at us, and mock us when the courts choose their side.

Dylan Thomas said it best with the poem he wrote for his father at his death bed that states: Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

As we watch our country fall into darkness in our government, our schools, and our sacred institutions. We begin to shout out against it. Seemingly to no avail, nevertheless we will always rage against the dying if the light, but remember at the end of every darkness there comes a new light.

Knowledge comes from study, but wisdom comes from God.
