This is illustrated by the story about the clock in a restaurant window. I believe it is spiritual and moral leadership. Increases in technology, scientific inventions, and medical miracles have been marvelous and incredible. But we must use them properly to bring us joy, and that requires spiritual and moral leadership. Civilization has been around for a long time.
Electronic marvels can actually bring some pitfalls.
For example, surfing the Internet may draw us into that which, if pursued, can destroy our marriages, our homes, and even our lives. Today many people are obsessed with the Y2K problem and worry about the date coming up right because of the way computers measure time. While some glitches may occur, I am optimistic that no great catastrophic computer breakdown will disrupt society as we move into the next century. I have a far greater fear of the disruption of the traditional values of society. Indeed, I am more concerned about the failure of our moral computers of honesty, integrity, decency, civility, and sexual purity.
