Man Is Born Wicked

The nature of man is wicked.  We are born into sin.  It seems worse today because of media that makes news immediate and more population makes for higher statistics.  Those who teach man is basically good, make excuses for choices that people make.  No one is being held accountable.  This is a destructive idea and shows how God's word is being abandoned.

The Bible does not say that people are basically good.  We are born bad so we will need God.  He's good for us.  We were given free will to make choices between good or bad behavior.  Example: Children need to be taught character and morals, they are not born with a sense of anything other than self.  Manners, morals and integrity have to be ingrained in them.  It surely was not a good thing that people watched Christians be torn apart by lions.  What about war, torture and rape?  What about slavery and human trafficking?  Man is inherently evil and needs God for His mercy.

People have turned from belief in God to belief in themselves.  Everything is self, lack of responsibility and greed.  These are not Biblical teachings.  People are turning from the wisdom of the Bible.  America seems to be doing better than most countries because it was founded on the Bible and Christian values to start with.  But, time marches on and the focus is turning from God's values to self and it's escalating.

Schools are teaching "self" to our children with the "everyone is a winner" theology.  Indeed everyone is not a winner.  Giving a prize to everyone when one has shown their self to excel, is ridiculous.  The child who made the extra effort to advance is being punished.  All others are receiving the message that 
they do not have to try.  

Universities campuses are sending new adults into the world with little knowledge of true history, morals or compassion for others while killing Christian values. 

Bring prayer back into schools, teach our children moral values  and return to Bible based rule.  People need God.  We need God for something extraordinary to believe in.  We need God for strength, wisdom, protection, health, safety and something worthy of worship.  God makes us over 3,000 promises in the Bible, if we follow Him.  World history proves we need Him.  Remember saying grace over a meal?  What happened to closing major shopping on Sunday, common politeness, manners and respect?  When did we stop seeing our fellow man the same as us, with feelings and struggles?  When did we begin to let minority rule?  When did we stop caring?  Can people not see that as we get away from Bible teachings so many human values are disappearing?  Common sense is dying an agonizing death.  God, my friends, God is the answer to everything wrong in our society today.
Amen
