The problems with society we find today are the result of education.  Though we are technologically advanced and trained from birth to encounter this technology, we are not educating ourselves in the things which promote a healthy society.  We learn about how to satisfy the desires of the body.  But we pay little attention to the things of the soul.

If a man was able to learn all there is to know on earth he would still be vulnerable to abhorrent behavior.  And, as I have observed, the more a man knows the more sinister his “secret” behavior becomes.  If it isn’t sexual sins, it is pride in his knowledge.  Education regarding the things of man are only useful if they enable the student to study the things of God.

The education we lack as a society, as a whole, is the education that comes directly from God.  There is a natural aversion to this teaching inside every person.  But as we begin from the moment of birth to teach God knowledge we advert possible rebellion against God’s laws later in life.  And a godly society is far less likely to encounter the onslaught of wicked behavior we are witnessing today.

Millions would scoff at what I’ve just written.  But ask yourself something:  Is society today a better and safer place because of the “advances” of man?  Or is it just easier to get what you want to have.

What can we do to turn this society of godless behavior around?  Nothing.  You take care of yourself and those you can reach.  But we’ve made a society of anonymity.  And when a wicked man lives his life without accountability surrounding him, he will increase in his wickedness.  In short, he will specialize in that particular wickedness he finds most attractive.  And regardless how he tries not to, he will teach his wickedness to others.  Soon we have the majority following godless behavior more than righteous and accountable behavior.  And if you think it is bad today, look down the road a few years.

Because of these things we say again, “The end is nearing faster than you might expect.”  Chaos is just a few blocks away from your front door.  All it takes to ignite this blazing violence is a little more hardship upon those who are already willing to do violence.  Once it starts freedom is taken away.  And in its place comes the heavy hand of a godless government.

Education is the key.  But we replaced our key ring with plastic baby keys.
