Moral Fabric Holding This Country Together Has Become Threadbare

If anybody ever wonders at the state of the world, just watch an entertainment awards show.

This past Sunday the country was treated to the Grammys, an awards show honoring the music industry in America. Watch the show for a while and one gets an idea of what life will be like behind the gates of Hell.

The entertainers who win will offer diatribes espousing their liberal causes while the lyrics they put in their songs and movies literally rip at the moral fabric that holds the country together. Just look at Nicki Minaj’s performance at the awards show that played upon a demonic theme.

It should be noted the moral fabric holding this country together has become quite threadbare over the past 40 to 50 years. It would seem morality in this country is being held by a single thread blowing in the wind with a large segment of the population chasing after it with a pair of scissors in order to excise from this once-great society any notion of absolute truth.

Instead, they will denigrate the Judeo-Christian ethos that shaped this nation into the lone global superpower until the country becomes a shell of its former self. Singers will put unabashedly satanic lyrics into their music and call it art and then dare others to call them out on it.

They wear their hatred and contempt for everything good and decent as proudly as a high school football player wears his letter jacket.

Millions of young people in this country look up to these people. They dress like them; talk like them; they do everything they can to be like those rich and famous people plastered all over the television.

Parents let them get away with it. What parent would let their child dress and act like a Kardashian or Snookie from the Jersey Shore? Well, there’s plenty of them.

Is there any wonder the world is devolving into a deafening din of chaos?

Where are the role models? Where are the people to whom we can point and tell our children, “Act like that.”

They are out there, folks like Tim Tebow, but more often than not, people like Mr. Tebow are ripped apart by the media for maintaining and exhibiting their Christian values. Such values are considered evil in today’s world.

Parents and adults should encourage their children and the young people around them to set them apart from what this society considers acceptable and look to a higher plane. Strive to be the light Christ talked about and not to hide that light from the world.

Find others who hold the same values and rebuild a society, or even a community, based on God’s laws, not the institutions of man.

Booker T. Washington told us to, “Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.”

We must avail ourselves of the higher standards given to us in the Bible and in this nation’s founding documents. Society should not be about the lowest common denominator, but about striving for something greater than what binds them.
