The decay of Society - How did we get here?

• Take a good look at today's American culture. Don't just scratch the surface, really LOOK at what has been happening.

45 Million lives destroyed by abortion since Roe V Wade, not to mention the enormous psychological trauma suffered by the post-abortive mother.

Unprecedented rates of divorce as many couples enter lightly into marriage, or are ignorant of the sacredness of marriage and the work and commitment it entails.

The increase in the visibility of homosexual "unions" , which is attempting to shift focus from the truth that authentic marriage is the union of one man and one woman.

Not to mention tragic rises in teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted disease (the CDC just released figures that 1 in 4 people living in NYC have genital herpes), drug abuse, spousal abuse, single parent families, and on and on and on.

Make no mistake about it brothers and sisters, this did not happen overnight, any more than the Grand Canyon formed in a week.

Like the canyon, our morals and values have been eroding steadily for at least the past 5 decades. We give ground and make compromises a little bit at a time, rationalising all the while that "It's OK just this once" or "Its just a little white lie."

Until we realize that our collective societal soul has become pitch black.

British statesman Edmund Burke said it simply and accurately: "Evil flourishes when good men do nothing."

Take heart dear ones! Each of us all are equipped, or have the potential to be equipped, with The Whole Armor of God (Ephesians 6: 10-18). All is not lost, and much hope remains for our future good. More later.

Peace,

Marty
