Moral Decay

Moral Decay in our society. All you have to do is turn on the tv to see the sexual immorality, profanity, scoffing of God, glorified violence, and irreverence for that which is pleasing to God.

I watched the news at noon today and saw this again. In Germany, nudist colonies are ever-so-popular, and to my dismay and disgust, they showed blurred out footage of families with young children on nudist beaches, participating in this. But what was the big news story? Well, now for the first time ever, there will be nudist airlines in Germany, where after take-off, you can, well, take it off. Enough said.

A second thought came to mind: Why are they even showing this on television at noon when likely many mothers are watching the news, making lunch for their kids who may be in the same room and seeing these images on tv? My theory is that they show these news stories not to show people how immoral we have become, but so that people can take pleasure in that which is immoral. This incident brought to mind passages that have frequently been brought to my mind in the past year.

1But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,

4treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. 2 Timothy 3:1-5

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;" Isaiah 5:20
