What has happened to cause the bottom to fall out of our once moral society? Has the pressure to be “politically correct” caused us to lose our sense of direction? A few examples of this upside down thinking from just the last few weeks are:
1. A glorified porn star taking up every airway to air her deplorable lifestyle.
2. A businessman being saluted for unethical business dealings.
3. Children being used as pawns for political agendas.
Wake up people, especially those who claim to be Christ followers, it seems the bus hauling common decency and Christian morals has left the terminal without us!!
Just a few years ago most people would help a neighbor in need with no repayment expected. Today we tend to use people to get what we want without regard for the harm it causes. Paul explains this phenomenon best, in 2 Timothy 3: 1-5 which states “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people” (The Bible). Think we're there yet? Its beginning to look like it!!
I know that many people will mock this and claim it’s just the world evolving and that Christians are nut cases who are just “scared of the dark”. Well, the apostle Peter also explained this in 2 Peter 3:3-4 which states, “Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? Forever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” I am not going to be one of those scoffers who dismiss clear signs of a society that is begging for God's judgment.
I want to ask each person who reads this blog to start praying daily for our society. We need to pray especially for the children who are being taught to dismiss anything to do with Jesus Christ and His messages about loving each other and who He considers to blessed.
Reading the words of Jesus Christ in Mathew 5: 3-10 may remind us of who is truly blessed, the verses state, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (The Bible).

Thank you for letting me vent. Have a wonderful week and remember to start praying for a return of Common Decency and Christian Morals.
