MORAL COMPASS

Praise God who sends people at the right time to encourage, exhort and lead into new hope and challenge. The church needs to be revived to answer the call to evangelise. The world is rapidly going down the slide of moral depravity and will end in suicide. When morality loses ground then what replaces it will be like Sodom and Gomorrah. There will be all kinds of evil activity and people will live for themselves. All your base desires will emerge to express itself in sexual and murderous ways. This is the path to self destruction. It is already happening in individuals, families and nations. What you are witnessing around the world is the loss of a compass to keep the nations growing and flourishing. Instead nations have turned in amongst themselves and are on the path to self destruct. This happens when a nation loses its moral compass. The Bible was the moral compass for many nations. Now it is being discarded for other less moral rules which are self made and to suit base desires. Base desires come to the fore when morality slips. Your conscience becomes seared and you mould with your environment. This is what history has taught us yet we blindly go down the same path again and again. It is as if the next generation has not learnt from the past. The story of Israel exemplifies this trend. Lord help us stem this tide of moral degradation now.
