Moral Order

I live in a nice quiet community. Very middle-America. Most homes use xeriscape landscaping. I don’t find it appealing, but it’s functional. The large community park is lush green grass, a tennis court and pool.

A recurring issue at HOA meetings is the complaint about the plethora of dog poop left in the common areas. The solution was to purchase clean-up stations with bags and receptacles to throw the filled bags in.

I thought whether or not there are bags handy for the dog owner makes no difference to the dog owner who does not pick up after his dog.

In America, doctors are mutilating children who say they were “born in the wrong body.” Mainstream media is celebrating the murder of law enforcement officers. Smash and grabs that destroy livelihoods and business owners are acceptable behavior. Candidates elected to represent the People are stealing money from the People into the billions of dollars.

No matter how small or large the issue from not picking up after their dog, to 83-year-old jewelry merchants getting robbed and beaten, to legalizing child sex trafficking, the issue is the same.

More supplies to help people make the right decisions won’t help. More laws won’t help. More regulations will certainly not help. Even enlisting the good guys to conquer bad guy behavior won’t help in the long run.

These are problems of the soul that can only be fixed by restoring moral order.

This is why we believe the Church is the answer to what ails this country. By discipling nations toward God’s Kingdom standards, moral order will be established. This is the one and only solution. When morals, ethics, values and virtues that coordinate with Jesus’ nature become our primary goal, whether at work, at home, on vacation, in the grocery store, at school, or walking our dog, our nation has a chance to flourish. If we don’t, we are abdicating our authority on earth given by Jesus Himself, and allowing Satan to have his way.
