Morality Matters

Remember the "Moral Majority?"

I do.

There was a time in our society when folks basically followed the rules that God set up in His ten commandments.

We have sculptures of Moses in Washington DC, his words inscribed in stone on the facade of the Supreme Court. There was a time when...

But people have short memories and sinful natures. They forget God's righteous wisdom, His perfect plan.

They lose interest in following His idea for fallen mankind.

People pridefully put themselves above the authority of Scripture.

It's a mess now, isn't it?

I have relatives in Chicago. They live in a jungle of indecency. Over 500 have been murdered in Chicago recently!

Chicagoans will blame anything but their moral failures.

But that is exactly the issue. You see, morality really does matter.

And whose morals matter? Mine?  Yours? My relatives'?

I know, you laugh. It is so laughable! We simply can't agree. We're human.

That is why we so desperately need GOD'S morals as our base.

Cherie and I are reading ancient history right now. You know....Draco, Aristedes, Cyrus, Darius?

Sparta, Athens....

These cities/states set up systems of governance, one after another, for hundreds of years.

Cruelty was rampant.

Nothing held for any length of time, power shifted swiftly and horribly as a rule.

It was a Chicago jungle!

How far we've come.

Not!

God has a plan for us. It's so perfect that it is crazy that people buck it!

But the majority of people are spiritually blind and simply cannot fathom the perfect system that God set up.

Imagine a list of morals. Imagine a rule of love and forgiveness.  Imagine a society of freedom to do what is right and good. Imagine a godly open fellowship with each and every human being you meet.

Imagine selflessness and sharing. And imagine how God could be openly worshipped in such a group.

There you have it!

God's perfect plan.

Morality matters.

I know there is no going back. We will all be caught up in the swing of society toward totalitarianism.  It's the only system that works without  God.

The Israelites discovered that with Samuel back in 1,000 BC. They failed morally and got Saul (a disaster).

We're headed there, unless the Lord Jesus catches us up to be with Him as He promised us through Paul in Thessalonians.

I'm banking on His promise. I will bank on it until the day I die.

There just isn't another option for me.

And there isn't for you either.

Come to Him. His yoke is easy and his burthen is light. All ye who labor and are heavy laden! Take His yoke and learn of Him.
