Is America Becoming A Modern Day Sodom & Gommorah?

The other day I had a conversation with a friend of mine who I had not spoken with in a number of years. We were discussing the good old days and how we stood for moral and values for the sake of our community and family. In our conversation, we discussed the many changes we see in today's world and our belief that the lion share of the changes will destroy the moral integrity of our nation. We were discussing how parents are allowing their children to play video games in which the worst kind of killing takes place, and we call this entertainment? We talked about how in today's world if you say that the person you are married to is your wife or husband, you will be considered intolerant and the proper term is "partner." We were amazed at how many of the schools are becoming insular by hiding the violent acts and fights that take place everyday for they do not want to be perceived in a negative light. They want you and I to think that the kids are fine and that everything is perfect. I am convinced that if people continue to sit on the sidelines and say "nothing", one day the country that we love will become like the cities of Sodom & Gomorrah that were discussed in the bible. We are a long way off, but the potential is there. Even the elect are being deceived today thinking that money and riches are the goal of God.

I thought long and hard about should I write this because many people think that letters like these are similar to conspiracy theories, but I decided this year to speak the truth no matter what the outcome. I cannot hide my head in the sand and think that this onslaught of improper behaviors and attitudes can be overlooked.

If you stand for morality, integrity and character, I would encourage you to get involved with your community and political system. Your words count only if you are saying something. If not, your words mean nothing. I am involved and plan on running for political office because we need morally sound people making decisions for the masses. We can complain about legislation that takes place if we are not at the table. Don't assume things are going well at your kids school. Often your kids won't tell you because they fear being rejected by their peers. Ask questions and get involved. Turn off the television set and read to your children. We turned off our television for the entire month and our relationships have blossomed as a result. I have found that my children have been more peaceful during this time. Teach your children good moral behavior by discussing right and wrong with them as well as being an example of right. And most importantly, do not let them get lost in video games, music and television shows that exploit people and show contempt for human life. We must shape our family's identity and stop allowing this broken system to become our children's teachers. If you do not give your children a sense of identity, someone else will!

I know this is a heavy BLOG but I have to be obedient to God first. I hope that the information is an eye opener and encourages people to stand up for what's right. If we choose not to, we will eventually fall to what's wrong!
