That is the question that has been running through my mind for the past month or so...
When did we become so far off track and allow such perversion to flood our government, schools, work places, homes, and even churches!
By accepting a little here and a little there, we have completely altered the moral compass of our nation and or world!
But when did the morals threads that hold society together all begin to unravel?
Although I can't claim to know the exact turning point in history when the morale began to plummet, I can in my humble opinion say it could have something to do with parents and the theory of "do as I say and not as I do."
Let me start of my saying that is one of the DUMBEST things I've heard in my life! I hated hearing that growing up (but I will admit to using it once or twice myself recently).
Parents need to step up and be parents and stop leading by word of mouth only. Kids need an example! Children watch their parents and learn all most all their mannerisms and world view from them. In a little child's eyes... mommy and daddy are super heroes that can do no wrong.
If mom and dad get wasted every weekend, cheat on each other, use profane language, watch/listen to inappropriate things, and yell and scream and carry on...why would a child see that as wrong? That's the normal to them, it's what they are used to.
Don't even get me started on the media and it's influence. Shows like "16 and Pregnant", "Desperate House Wives", "Teen Mom", and "Two and a Half Men" (just to name a few) glorify the idea of sex outside of marriage. What idea is that implanting in the mind of today's youth? hm?
MTV recently sent out a pitch for a new show that was to be titled "Losing It". The title may give the plot away but for those of you who don't know, the idea behind the show was to get volunteers to sign up for the reality show and have them give the camera crews permission to follow them around "on their journey to losing their virginity." WHAT?! And we sit back and wonder why our kids are turning out the way they are. I've heard people joking around saying "in 16 years are we going to have a show call '32 and Grandma'" and you may life or chuckle at that, but that's the direction we are headed and it's scary.
Even the homosexual agenda is being push with shows like "Modern Family" and movies like "I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry".
In the public school system...Protection is being taught over abstinence,homosexuality is being taught as an OK 'alternative lifestyle', and the biggest word everyone is hearing nowadays..."Tolerance"
Just today I asked a young girl to hand me my ball that was laying on the floor. She looked at me giggled and replied, "Ew Miss Racheal! I'm not touching your balls. I didn't even know you had any." When I questioned her on her response she just laughed it off and said "I go to a bad elementary school, you should hear what my friends talk about." All I could do was shake my head.
Nothing is sacred anymore.
Sex is no longer viewed as an intimate act of love between a married couple.
Marriage is no longer being viewed as a sacred commitment before God between a man and woman.
It's all a game.... It's all about 'shacking up' and seeing how many partners you can have.
There is a serious problem...
When 12 year old girls are having babies and 12 year old boys are concerned about finding condoms
When people have to go on national television and ask for a DNA test to be given to 4 different men to find out which one is their "baby daddy"
When there are more porn outlets in a 25 mile radius than there are McDonald's
The whole mind set of "Eat. Drink. And be Merry" and "YOLO" (you only live once)
It really makes you stop and think.
Should we blame Hollywood? Some do....
Should we blame the school system? Some do...
Should be blame the church? Some do...
Should be blame other parents and other kids? Some do...
But where should the blame be put? It should be put on bad parenting. Parents have more control over how their child turns out than anybody. It's when parents hand their most important job over to the teachers and the TV that the problems occur.
I'm not saying that sending your children to a public school is sinful. I know plenty of kids who have gone to and are attending public school and they are some of the most on fire for God and strongest young people I know! They never miss an opportunity to stand of for what's right and to share what they believe. But why is that? It's because they have parents that live out what the are saying. They have parents that have stood up and claimed responsibility for how their kids are behaving.
Some of you may laugh at me for this and that's OK, but I'm proud to admit that even at the age I am...I'm still considered by most to be "naive" and "in-experienced".
Not be because I was overly sheltered, but because my parent's cared enough to keep the evil and the filth away from me. They raised me in a God-fearing and God-loving home and I thank them from the bottom of my heart them for that.
It's been said that all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. How true is that.
We are so afraid to stand up and speak up for what we believe and it's going to severely bit us in the butt.
Society's morals are falling at an alarming rare folks.We are back in the days of Noah and of Sodom and Gomorrah. We know how that ended. In one the world was destroyed and in the other a whole city.
So what is the high price for perversion?
- unwanted pregnancies
- sexual transmitted diseases
- trust issues
- divorce
- higher suicide rate
The perversion of the mind is only possible when those who should be heard in its defense are silent.
Do not be deceived: bad company corrupts good morals.
Young people are moving away from feeling guilty about sleeping with somebody to feeling guilty if they are not sleeping with someone.
I'd rather see a sermon than hear a sermon any day.
Live...Laugh...Love
Until Next Time,

Very well put Racheal.
