The answer communication title is an absolute – YES!
It is not arguable. The evidence around us speaks for itself. Morally grounded persons can tell quite clearly. It all started in the United States. Now immorality is evident.
From the beginning in the United States until 1960’s when the counter-culture movement began and spread to other countries, morality was regarded very highly. For those who are not convinced morality means doing what is right or good at all times. Immorality is quite the opposite-doing what suites one’s desires whether right or wrong.
When the counter-culture people pushed God aside and removed Godly type living from daily type living and from our schools, immorality took over. It was easier to be immoral. Throw out the old thinking, if it feels good do it were the mottos. The ten Commandments were obsolete and ignored. Church attendance greatly declined.
The counter-culture world we live in now, inhabited by the original counter-culture persons and their descendants, is not a good one, not a good and wholesome one. And we are headed for a very rude awakening. If Americans in particular and everyone in general around the world think God´s patience will last forever, let us think seriously again, please. None of us is immune from God´s judgment and punishment. And God´s action is coming more sooner than later. It may already be happening in various forms-great floods, big earthquakes, massive destructive fires, draught, severe weather changes, very high destructive winds, new viruses, Middle-east chaos, etc.
Immorality is such a slippery slope. We must bring God and morality back into our lives. The sooner the better. WE AL HAVE THE POWER.
