The Only Cure for This Mess

We are in a mess, as the moral and spiritual seams of our culture have unraveled. Our Country is in a dangerous state! America is like a runaway train without a conductor. Crime, corruption, and moral decadence permeate society from the top down. The primary reason for the spiritual and moral cultural abyss is a default in character on the part of citizens and thus the Nation. Someone said that it is easier to build boys than to repair men. We are where we are today because there has been an abandonment on child training, beginning in homes. We could cite the breakdown of the home, the radicalization of the education system, and especially, the spiritual decline in our culture. It is amazing that we invest billions of dollars in “repair institutions” while totally overlooking the “training institution” of the home! The promotion of self-interests, on the part of many parents, have become a greater priority than the training of precious children to grow up to be men and women of character and have -productive lives.

I have some suggestions that are “old school” and would challenge anyone to prove that the “new school” is better. The “old school” tenants of: the priority of the home, the sanctity of marriage, teaching children the importance of character, God, prayer, and the Bible as a priority in homes, the importance of church, and respect for those in authority.

Only God can straighten out this cultural mess and nothing short of turning to Him for help will bring the real cure. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” – II Chronicles 7:14
