Today as I watched the political controversy surrounding our country, I couldn't believe the way our constitution was being distorted and reinterpreted to suit the needs of the candidates. Obviously, we need to reform voting procedures so we can eliminate such rancor. I've come to the conclusion that our country is ideologically divided. I watched as the politicians, who seem to no longer believe in one great nation, began dividing up the people into blocks of self-interest groups. We are falling for the old axiom "divide and conquer." We are a nation divided. These agents of division, from political parties consumed with self-interest, are driving our country deeper and deeper into separate camps, dividing our nation. Does anybody ask "what is right and what is wrong?" Should not all of our choices be moral ones? Should not our choices, regardless of whether they benefits us or not, serve the truth? Will we not all be served when we serve what is right? Former President John F. Kennedy wrote a book titled Profiles In Courage. It is a book about men who stood for the good of their country at great personal expense. Will the democracy that has served us so well sacrifice its people on the altar of greed and expediency? I find it amazing that after all has been said and done, the election may ultimately be determined not by human error or faulty ballots, but by news reports rushing to judgement.

If that's not enough, I am astounded at the amount of smut on the various TV talk shows. The people of this great nation are divided by a great moral chasm. From the moral and social climate, it seems a person cannot admit to being wrong or even attempt to change their bad behavior. It's nearly impossible for people to agree on or even know, whether certain behavior is wrong or not. This powerful and destructive force has been unleashed into our society by situational ethics. The lives of dysfunctional people are being aired with great mocking and ridicule. We say that, as a society, we have grown since the days of stocks in the middle of Town Square. I don't think so. Every kind of unimaginable and perverted sexual behavior is being spewed from the mouths of certain TV talk show guests. The viler the guest becomes, the more the audience cheers -- until the combatants ("guests") are whipped into a frenzy, leading to even worse behavior! All the while the host stirs them up, generating even higher ratings for the show. We are becoming sick but will not admit it. God saw this in Israel and warned them:


The WWF is a big hit among consumers today. Advertisers are fighting over the market share for men who curse, act violently insane, and disrespect both genders. I watched in horror as young people made obscene gestures to the combatants -- to the great delight of the other adult fans and parents. We say it can never happen to us. But are we, a "civilized" nation, about to fall? Have we reached a level of such immorality that we will revisit the Roman coliseum and persecute again those who believe in civility?

We must change our course before it is too late. It's terrible to think that no matter how evil our behavior; no one is embarrassed or ashamed. The wickedest behavior is becoming acceptable. The foundations of home and society, which bring national health, are being torn apart. Adams and Washington believed democracy would only work when the people have moral absolutes and a fear of God.

Listen to what God has said about those who are so evil that they have no shame:


America, the choice is yours.
