What is a shameless society?
Shame. A painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety.
Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary
What is a shameless society? A shameless society is a society in which large portions of the population openly engage in the most low, immoral kinds of conduct with no apparent sense of guilt or shame; a society in which people openly and easily admit to highly immoral behavior, even on the mass media, and talk about it freely. (In other words, it is a society in which people engage in such conduct as fornication, adultery, and homosexuality with no sense of shame or guilt.) Do I have any particular country in mind when I talk about shameless societies? Yes, I do. I have America in mind. America is an excellent example of a shameless country. How did it become so shameless? For many years now America has been reacting against Christian “puritanism” (Christian morality). Hollywood and television have been waging war against it for many years. Way back in the 1970's sexual inhibitions were being labeled as bad by psychologists and psychiatrists, as unhealthy and something to be gotten rid of. The psychologically healthy individual was a person unhampered by these undesirable culprits. So for years there has been a big campaign by liberals and progressives to rid the society of these undesirable creatures stemming from the attitudes, outlooks and values of the Christian moral standard and replace them with new, progressive healthy outlooks, attitudes and values. Progressives, liberals have long held great and growing power in this country. Our colleges, including theological seminaries, have long been filled with liberal-leaning professors and these colleges have produced, over the years, the people holding positions of power and influence in America. And all these godless liberals in positions of power and influence have worked to destroy Biblical attitudes, outlooks, and values and to remake the country into the liberal, progressive vision that they have for it. The mass media and all the organs of government have worked to remake America into a new progressive state and they have succeeded. It is that simple. We are now seeing the new America. We are now seeing the fruits of all of that indoctrination and glamorization of illicit sex in the characters of the American people. The typical American has become an animal, morally depraved, unable to distinguish between right and wrong. Our youth have been indoctrinated and trained up into new godless outlooks and attitudes and our youth has become the new, progressive America.
America has rejected Biblical morality. It has rejected the Bible. It has rejected God. Don’t think that the new America will get any favors from God. It has elected to follow Satan. Satan is God’s enemy. America can be expected to be treated by God as an enemy. The end of Satan and all who follow in his way is hell. It is an ugly end. And it lasts forever.
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.
The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
Psalms 34:15-16
