The World Around Us

"Back in the good ol' days." Has anybody ever heard that statement before? [I know I have.] Sometimes people overlook that, think that they are crazy for thinking that times in the past were better than growing up now. In some ways they weren't, but at the same time, I sympathize with people who say that, to a point, they are correct. 

I want you to answer a few questions. [1] Do you think that it is right, that people are afraid to walk down the street at night, because they are afraid something bad will happen? [2] Do you think that it is allowable for kids to drop out of school? [3] Do you think that is excuseable for people to be married more than once? [4] Or to have sex outside of marriage? 

If you ask a majority of the people in this world, they will at least say yes to 2, if not 3 of those questions. 

Back in the good old days;

1.You didn't hear of all these stories of kids being murdered for walking down the street. You weren't afraid to walk past windows at night, because of the chance someone was looking in. Why, is that not the case nowadays? 

2. Kids weren't allowed to drop out of school, and if they did, they weren't allowed to come home.  Why has that changed now?

3. People who were married to someone other than their husband or wife, [first one, of course] were considered scarlet letters. You were looked down upon. Now, people change spouses like they do dishes.

4. People used to be so much more 'old fashioned,' it was definatly inexcuseable to have sex outside of marriage. It never happened. People were so disciplined back then. Nowadays, people lose their virginity [outside of marriage] by the age 18. [66.2% of Americans lose their virginity before age 18.] (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Why is this? Back in the good old days, the world was brought up with Christian morals, and a majority of the people still believed in God. They knew what the difference between right and wrong was, and they knew that their was a Father who enforced this law. 

If you mention God these days to somebody, there is a very good chance they won't listen, maybe won't even talk to you.

Maybe, just maybe, everybody is right. Those were the good ol' days. Living nowadays is much harder, the world around us is very corrupt. There will be a day where Jesus will come back and reign again, and until that day comes, we can only pray for the best, and teach his law. Fight back!
