We were no longer under threat of being conquered by great and powerful nations. We no longer needed God. God was taken out of our public life, and out of our homes. Oh yes, we pay lip service to spiritual affairs, but our Sundays are spent in bed, on the golf course, fishing, or whatever. Children are roaming the streets, or watching TV, rather than learning about God.
Children have no spiritual and moral training, neither by example nor by word.
The massacre and mayhem we have been seeing the past few years in our high schools across the country. The problem is not guns. Until we put God back into our lives we must expect the situation to continue to deteriorate. Tools are a valuable asset for accomplishing our job. The tools vary with the job.
