Could it be possible that Americans are more concerned about declining standards of morality than most of us initially thought? A very surprising new survey conducted by LifeWay Research has discovered that a whopping 81 percent of Americans agree with this statement: “I am concerned about declining moral behavior in our nation.” If you follow my work on a regular basis, you already know that moral decay is a theme that I keep coming back to time after time. To me it is quite obvious that moral behavior is deteriorating all around us, but I had no idea that so many other Americans were deeply concerned about the exact same thing. (Read More...)

15 Quotes About The Duck Dynasty Controversy That Every American Should See
What is being done to Phil Robertson shows just how far America has fallen. The thought police are waging an all-out campaign to take down one of the biggest names in the United States, and if they are successful none of us will ever be safe again. We are becoming a nation that is governed by bullying, intimidation and unwritten speech codes, and if you happen to say the “wrong thing” you could lose everything. Liberal pundits are gleefully declaring that making statements such as Robertson made “should get you fired from most jobs“. That means that they believe that unless you conform to their version of morality (or keep your mouth shut forever) you should lose your job. So are you ready to lose your job for what you believe? Because that is where we are heading. In the future, if you do not conform to their politically correct Big Brother speech code, you will be unemployable and you and your entire family will be outcasts from society. That is why the Duck Dynasty controversy is so important. This is a “line in the sand” moment, and if the thought police are successful than those that refuse to abandon Biblical morality will soon be forced underground. Do you really want to live in a country where a large percentage of the population can no longer express what they believe to be right and wrong? (Read More...)
Moral Relativism
John Adams, the second president of the United States, once made the following statement: “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.” As we promote a return to constitutional principles, perhaps we should also be asking ourselves if the American people are moral enough to uphold and defend our Constitution anymore. Will a political shift in Washington D.C. solve all of our problems, or should we be looking into our own hearts as well? As controversial as it may be to question the morality of the American people, the truth is that after all of the shocking things that have transpired in this nation over the last 50 years someone certainly should be willing to ask the hard questions. It would be hard to deny that moral relativism and moral decay are absolutely rampant in the United States today, and that our moral problems are very much at the heart of many of our problems.

Shocking Red Flags! 25 Signs That Wickedness And Evil Are Rapidly Growing In America
Americans have typically viewed themselves as some of the most “good” and “moral” people on the face of the earth. But is this actually still true today? Or have things fundamentally changed? The truth is that so many of us are so busy trying to make money and chasing after the American Dream that we don’t even realize what is happening to our society. The reality is that the United States is facing a moral crisis of unprecedented magnitude. Wickedness and evil are rapidly growing in America, and as much as people don’t want to hear it, no “political solution” is going to work unless the United States finds a way to stop this horrific moral decline as well. A lot of people out there think that they have “an economic formula” or a “political philosophy” that will “fix” America, but every single one of them is wrong. Nothing will “fix” America unless the moral and spiritual problems are addressed as well. Unfortunately, each year things just seem to get even worse. The following are 25 signs that wickedness and evil are out of control in America…. (Read More...)
Does America Deserve What Is Happening In The Gulf Of Mexico?
Before you read this, please be warned that the subject matter of this article is controversial. It is going to upset a lot of people who read it. In fact, it is likely to absolutely infuriate a large number of people. Why? Well, because it asks some really hard questions. You see, most Americans prefer to see this nation as a “good” and “moral” country that God has richly blessed. And there is no denying that God did tremendously bless the United States in the past. But over the past several decades we have been relentlessly pushing God away as a society. We have indulged in an orgy of endless greed, we have made lust and sexual gratification a national pastime and we have killed over 40 million babies since abortion was legalized in 1973. Our families are fractured and our love has grown cold, and yet we continue to borrow mountains of money so that we can go buy things at the store to make ourselves feel better as we pursue “the American Dream”. The truth is that the United States is not a “good” nation anymore. In fact, we have become filled with evil and wickedness. But most Americans seem to think that there will never be any consequences for all of this evil and wickedness. In fact, most Americans seem to expect God to snap to attention whenever we decide that we need to ask Him to do something for us. Of course the rest of the time we are more than happy to totally ignore Him. As the Gulf of Mexico oil spill crisis continues to get worse, many Americans are beginning to wonder where God is in all of this. Well, is it possible that God has taken His hand of protection off of us due to all of our wickedness? Is it possible that America could actually deserve what is happening in the Gulf of Mexico right now? (Read More...)
Memorial Day Shocker: How The U.S. Government Really Handles Veterans Benefits – Deny, Deny, Deny Until They Die
One of the ways that you can judge the character of a nation is by how they care for their military veterans. On this Memorial Day, we remember those who have fought and died defending the American Dream, but this should also be a day when we check and make certain that those who have served this country so bravely are being taken care of. Unfortunately, a cold, hard examination of the facts reveals that the U.S. government is doing a horrific job of caring for our military veterans. U.S. government officials seem to be able to do a great job of laying wreaths and holding ceremonies, but when it comes to actually getting military veterans the care and benefits that they desperately need, the attitude seems to be “deny, deny, deny until they die”.
