We are in America in the late Twentieth Century. It is the days of the Clinton presidency. What does the world look like through my eyes? What do I see when I look around me? I see people everywhere pursuing the Way of Pleasure, Lie and Moral Error, stubbornly rejecting the Way of Truth and Life. I see immorality, gross immorality, depravity everywhere. Immoral conduct has become the norm. Rich or poor, it makes no difference. Officials in high positions, movie stars, the royalty of England, people I know, my own relatives. It is pervasive, everywhere. Fornication, adultery, lying, dishonesty, complete lack of moral principle. It is everywhere. Everyone is doing it. Hedonism. The pursuit of pleasure. At this very moment the great and illustrious leader of this great and wonderful land is probably having sexual intercourse with some woman on top of the presidential desk. No big thing. The same kind of thing is going on in offices and homes everywhere. I see a country that has simply "lost it" morally. I see no one that I can respect or believe in or trust. It is supposed to be a Christian land. The conservative Muslims, Hindus and Orientals live far closer to the precepts of true Christianity then do the people of this land. I see a society that has lost its way. It is lost. It doesn't know the way. I live in a Sodom. Moral knowledge is gone from the land. I see more. I see messed up lives and unhappy, miserable, angry people. I see people reaping the fruits of their own way. Ugly fruits that are the natural consequence of the way of transgression against Moral Law. I see people receiving the natural consequences of their own wrong actions and then cursing God and life. I see a society that is very rapidly disintegrating, falling apart. And it doesn't have a clue as to why. And if someone, such as myself, were to tell them why he would be laughed to scorn. I see a society in which that glue that holds things together is rapidly disintegrating. I see no hope for my country. For the individual there is hope, however. Anyone, if he has the courage and strength, can turn away from the way of Badness and Error and walk in God's way of Uprightness, Morality, Goodness and Truth and find peace and happiness. Apr 1998
