Americans Lack Morals

Posted
Editor, Times-Union:

It has gone far too long that everyone is slow to speak up for God and our country.

Could it be that increasing numbers of decent, moral Americans are staying away from the polls because they don't see the kind of moral leadership in either party?

Many Americans, it seems, are embarrassed to be a witness to the faith of our fathers. We must work diligently to reverse this plaque. I fear we in America are in the midst of a moral crisis on many fronts. Our out-of-control courts are increasingly looking outside our Constitution to their own atheist agenda.

All our leaders must take the lead in confronting the moral degradation of pornography, homosexuality, pedophilia, abortion, illegitimacy, promiscuity, murdering and such. I am deeply concerned regarding our nation. How we are leaving it for our children. We need to call our nation to repentance to almighty God. He is our solution. It is a must, that we all be about His business immediately.

"Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited ... What a paradise would this region be!" John Adams, America's second president, 1756.

"If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity." Daniel Webster, 1921.

Jesus said, " ... with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26.
