THE HIJACKING OF MORALITY
- The loss of our moral compass.
- Trusting in man to know what is best for man.
- The Church that did not put Christ first.
- The silent Church became the absent Church.
- Allowing school influence to take the place of the parental influence.
- Fathers with attitudes of complacency and apathy.
- Fathers abandoning fatherhood and leadership in the homes.
- Mothers abandoning motherhood and nurturing in the homes.
- Grandparents who quit supporting their future lineage opting to be anthropocentric while investing in their personal happiness instead of the personal safety and protection of their next generation.
- “Everyone did what was right in their own eyes”.
- Paralyzed by fear of public scorn instead of speak out against evil.
- “Situation Ethics” became the new “grey” and black and white gave way to color blindness.
- Spiritual numbness replaced spiritual passion.
- We turned a blind eye to evil in all forms.
- Mentors stopped mentoring.
- Accepting of substitutionary mediocrity.
- Objectification of our daughters and our wives.
- What was done in the dark and “secret places” are now being done in the light and full view of all.
- Righteousness, godliness, cleanliness, trustworthy, honesty, integrity are no longer virtues to be pursued but are now labels of prudishness, intolerance and condemned as judgmental arrogance.
- Bad company has spoiled good character.
- Obscenity laws are no longer enforced and thus porn has become a “don’t touch because no one is being hurt” billion dollar out of control monstrosity!
- We looked the other way instead of saying “NO”!!
…..we still say “no” (to getting involved) and do “no-thing” because we are fearful of rejection, reprisal, and reprehensible shame.
It’s time to say as Todd Beamer said: “let’s roll”!!! We need to get up, and take back the plane of morality that needs to fly over this land flowing with milk and honey!!
