Why The Change?
The book is nearer to being printed. The publisher had other books before mine that had to get out first. I changed the title in order to prevent confusion as to the purpose of the book. It is not just an expose' of what is happening in our world, but a book that dispels the impediments to a deep faith in Christ. Now that these editing challenges have been overcome, I'll be blogging more in the future.
Teach Your Children Well
That song echos in my mind every time I see one of these stories in the news. This story at
http://www.foxnews.com/us/index.html# details an incident that happened recently. In it women urge their teens to fight. The problem for the condition of our society has to be laid squarely at our (parents) feet. If we don't encourage our children to do better, they never will. Of course, the problem is that many parents see no problem with they way they and their children are acting. Some even laugh when their children disrespect adults and use bad language. Teachers can't control their classrooms and our courts fill with those who break the law. Unfortunately, there are no PSA's calling attention of this crisis that is growing each day, but I have heard a few songs about it.
Deconstructing Jesus
Many over the years have tried to diminish Jesus' divinity, miracles and claims. The latest to try this is Basic Instinct Director, Paul Verhoeven. He spent 20 years researching Jesus and all he can come up with is theory and conjecture about Jesus. Yet, I'm sure his claims will be met with much fanfare by the secular world that seeks to remove God from their lives. However, no serious scholar will even consider the validity of his claims because they are just speculation. No credible evidence has ever been produced to show that Jesus did not resurrect, or that He did not perform the miracles the Gospels document. Even secular accounts show that Jesus lived and his followers were being persecuted by the Romans. Josephus and others wrote concerning Jesus and His followers. This is covered in the last chapter of the book. Not to mention the fact that Christianity took off after the crucifixion of its leader and extreme persecution of its followers. Peter withdrew in fear when Jesus was arrested and spoke the first sermon after the resurrection. See my sermon at http://kmorvant.podomatic.com/entry/2008-03-23T12_00_26-07_00 for Peter's turnaround. They can speculate all they want, but they can't diminish Jesus.

Humanism vs. Faith
If you want an example of how a secular humanist views a devout, faithful Christian, then go to http://twocitiesblog.blogspot.com/2006/03/church-of-christ-minister-endures-cnn.html
Here, CNN's Nancy Grace attacks the faith of Rubel Shelly, Church of Christ minister. People no longer want to follow God as He commands, but by their own rules if they regard Him at all.
Victory In Jesus!
This blog was created to illustrate the moral and faith decay in modern society. However, if you need a boost to your walk with Christ, then check out my podcast at
http://kmorvant.podomatic.com. I just completed a series of lessons on building up your faith called Victory In Jesus! With all the depressing news surrounding us I think a boost is needed often.
Can You See Me Now?
The latest trend in teen dating is to send naked pictures taken on their cell phones and sending it to someone they are interested in dating. Our children are progressing toward animal-like mating behavior and this is the latest evidence of it. Studies show that teens are more interested in image and fame rather than the more important aspects of dating such as character. It may make the news, but what do the parents of these teens think about it. Some will be appalled, but there will be some that will say that they are just being teens and no different from their peers. When these teens grow up, what will they be doing?
Baby = Punishment
One of the signs of the breakdown of society is how it treats its vulnerable citizens. Presidential candidate, Barak Obama recently stated ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNzmly28Bmg ) that if his daughters made a mistake, he would not punish them with a baby. In other words, they could have an abortion. I guess he would punish the innocent baby rather than the guilty parties. Our constitution states that we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but they find a way to distort the laws to fit their selfish lifestyles. This is part of the death culture that has become a part of who we are today. The real news is that it did not hurt him in the polls. It would seem that most of American society feels the same way. How long before other inconvenient persons are eliminated because they can't defend themselves. Those with power over them will decide that they would not want to live that way if they could speak and euthanize them. Are they helping the person, or getting rid of a problem for themselves?
She can handle What?
The mother of the prostitute caught up in the NY Governor's scandle stated that her daughter was a bright girl who could handle the governor. Were they having a debate? The nonchallant attitude of her mother gives us an indication of why she sought to earn a living this way. Her neighbors also felt that her occupation was not unusual or scandalious. This is exactly what I describe in my book about the condition of society today. Pornography is mainstreamed and considered as any other business endeavor. Will we be shocked when our children grow up and want to be hookers and porn stars instead of doctors and lawyers? Story is at http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/03/12/national/main3933062.shtml?source=mostpop_story
A WHAT kind of mayor?
New Orleans Mayor, Ray Nagin states that he is a "vagina-friendly" mayor as he welcomed the "Vagina Monologues" to the city. This is the kind of behavior we see from those in government and it is no wonder our children are turning out the way they do today. The recent news about the Governor of New York and his sex scandal shows how our society is declining further into the abyss of degradation. The root causes of our moral slide are popular psychology, evolution, science, atheism and even self-indulgent religion. They diminish the faith of many and they don't feel a need to have a strong faith. Faith is our victory that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4). Without it we do not overcome and our condition reflects that fact.
Just The facts Ma'am
Many are familiar with this line from the TV show Dragnet. "Just the facts ma'am." Well this could apply to just the headlines on Fox News today. "Mom arrested with pot in baby's system." "Teacher Allegedly Sends Boy Topless Pictures." "Deputy, Daughters Killed; 17-Year-Old Son Arrested." "Disciplinary charges filed against unspecified number of New Jersey SWAT team members who cavorted and posed for pictures with Hooters girls."
As Sonny and Cher once said, "The beat goes on." However, there is an answer to what we see every day. God offers us a refuse in Him that shelters and comforts us in the midst of what we see each and every day in this world. Dispite the terrible things we see and hear there is a refuse. I remember a painting named "Sanctuary" that depicted a small bird that was in her nest that was made in the sheltering cove of a rock jutting out of a raging sea. Dispite the stormy seas, the bird could find peace to nuture its young amidst the violence around her. That is what God offers us if we will accept His promise. The world may rage, but we have peace in our little world.
Wanted, bus drivers.
Just about every school bus out there has a bumper sticker advertising for bus drivers. Many people don't want to subject themselves to the unruly behavior of some of our kids and some who do find out the hard way that it is very frustrating.
