Wickedness spreads its shadow as moral boundaries are forgotten or non existent.  New York City, the place where George Washington and Congressman consecrated this nation to God.  No wonder it is the location of an all out assault on public displays of oddity, desecration and human depravity.  The ethical relativist, which by itself is a strange word conglomerate, for how may we gauge the science of public morals if they have no pendulum boundary?  That is the nature of wickedness, for it requires the decadence of an unholy mind to provide validity and definition.  If I can think it, then it is acceptable public behavior is a dangerous place for a nation to reside.  We find ourselves at the juncture, one step away from a charismatic leader, like Hitler who determined genocide was necessary and perfectly explainable behavior, for the good of his version of mankind.

How Lord did we a believing, Judeo Christian, innocence loving nation so quickly resolve to a such an abominable position?  It seems improbable the speed with which our transformation resulted.  And what are we to believe is the next most likely future condition?  Scientists, the same scientists who would use ethical behavior to predict and study national circumstance, are frankly at a loss.  Unfortunately it appears they know the potential outcomes they just will not look at the obvious.  We are headed for a fall, tied firmly to our lack of shared moral footing and absolute truth.  No one can agree upon acceptable behavior, or simply upon what is right and wrong, so no healthy path forward may be collectively determined.  We are caught in the valley of indecision and the moving target of tolerable excesses.  From this mobile bullseye, chaos rules, leading eventually to a ruler who thrives in this lack of foundation.  If there are no collective rules, he will be free to write his own.  This would be the death of humanity as we are left to the “relativistic” determinism of a single, evil and totally ambitious man.  We all know what he is like, his head has shown throughout history, coincidentally each time man wandered away from God.

Don’t you want some limits to behavior?  Do you really want your children to see sexual images from the time of youth?  Do we truly want our young adults believing they are free to pursue whatever their minds may concoct, simply because freedom without constraints is now perceived the highest achievement?  Or are we too sold upon the value of a “no holds barred” mentality here in the United States?  Have we so quickly forgotten what made us different from the other nations in history, what “set us apart” from all other nations before us?  Are we doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past for not remembering history’s lesson, as George Santayana so aptly queried?  There is a way forward that doesn’t include the self-imprisonment of decadence.  It is the way that leads via the Cross of Christ at Calvary.  Each of us may choose to be forgiven of all sin and be set free from the consequences of man’s wickedness and deceit.  Believe upon Christ Jesus and be cleansed by His perfect sacrifice of a life freely given for us upon Calvary’s Cross.  Believe and repent, then be remade in the likeness of God for all men to see, which glorifies His Holy Name.  Don’t be swayed by your own decadence, cry out to God and have the veil of your own delusion removed so that the truth is made clear.  Escape the judgment to come, in Jesus Holy Name I pray.
