    You Never Know What You’re Going To Get! 

    Forget the box of chocolates! If you’re looking for a place where you never know what you’re going to get then watch the news. I understand that different news offices/stations have different owners, different audiences and different purposes; but at times the media can seem so schizophrenic with the issues and stories they cover, or the lack thereof.

    Case-in-point, here are two examples:

    The first is a head scratcher picked up on by Neal Pollard. Here’s the link for his short, but well said, article called “Searching For The Outrage Over Amazon.” There’s no point in me trying to repeat what he has already said. It’s about the obvious several shades of rainbow-colored hypocrisy when it comes to the general homosexual agenda supported by the news media…especially over the last few weeks. It’s one of those things that I’ve come to expect from the news, but I still scratch my head when I think about it.

    The second is a heart warmer about two brothers in Tennessee that I happened to catch yesterday. It’s a great story (video) about love, encouragement, humility and loyalty that’s worth the time it takes to watch. Here’s the link for it.

    The news has a special way of keeping a person wondering when it comes to stories about morality.

    Remember, we need to “[Have] our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God’s seat of power. Give thought to him who has undergone so much of the hate of sinners against himself, so that you may not be tired and feeble of purpose.” (Hebrews 12:2-3, BBE)

    Is there any sense to our values? We count sacred the life of the snail darter, baby seals, and the whooping crane, yet we legalize and even subsidize the slaughtering of innocent unborn babies. We endorse a 55-MPH speed limit on our highways because it saves lives, yet we guarantee the rights to make, sell, and consume alcohol which accounts for over 50% of all highway deaths. We work hard to clean up the air we breathe and water we drink, yet allow movies, television, and magazines to pollute our minds and destroy our morals. Prayer is legally eliminated from our schools, but atheists and skeptics are allowed to spread their ideologies that destroy our freedoms and are made professors at our universities to brainwash our children and we are taxed to pay their salaries. Is there any sense to it all? There is no sense whatsoever, unless it is nonsense! This is Just-a-Minute with Ed Boggess

    There is no other book so varied as the Bible nor one so full of concentrated wisdom. Whether it be of law, business, morals or that vision which leads the imagination in the creation of constructive enterprises for the happiness of mankind, he who seeks for guidance - may look inside its covers to find illumination. As a nation, we are indebted to the Book of books for our national ideals and representative institutions.

    The Deeper Problem 

    As if we needed another example of the decaying morals in our society,

    Suggestive NJ billboard of jeans ad to come down

    Mayor Cory A. Booker …  framed it as part of a general decline in standards.

    “It’s an issue of what are community standards and why are we consistently condoning language, images and other things that erode those standards,” he said. “This billboard is not the only thing that we should be concerned with. It’s a symptom of a deeper problem that we have to confront within our communities.”

    Yes, it is symptomatic of a deeper problem: we, as a society, have shut God out of our communities, our schools,  our homes, and our individual lives.  So why are we really surprised that the very values and morals that God has given us to abide by are no longer a part of our lives?

    At least there is some hope here. Someone in this community found this offensive. That’s a start.

      I agree Laura. I wish something could be done with TV commercials. It seems that there is a push to see who can be the most sexual and get away with it.

    The best way to teach morality is to make it a habit with children.

    Aristotle, Greek philosopher (384-322 B.C.)

    To educate a person in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.

    Theodore Roosevelt, American adventurer and president (1858-1919)

    "We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with nations as with individuals our interests soundly calculated will ever be found inseparable from our moral duties, and history bears witness to the fact that a just nation is trusted on its word when recourse is had to armaments and wars to bridle others." --Thomas Jefferson, Second Inaugural Address, 1805
