Last week, I was studying a subject about mission work overseas in different cultures and nations.
Many other nations outside Australia and other 'western' cultures contain quite high moral living in comparison to ours. Even though many of the countries are dirty on the outside, ie on the streets, their living on the inside, ie in their hearts, is at a higher level than here. (Yes, this is a generalisation)
There's so much I can say on this, but I'll keep it brief.
I was watching 'Video Hit's' this morning and everything that the video's were selling was filthy!! How do we let our children watch these things, what are we teaching them! Three songs in a row and I had to turn it off.
What we surround ourselves with and spend our time focused on will consume us. Morals are thrown out the window and we do whatever pleases us, even if that is at the expense of another, we are taught YOU are what's important, don't worry about your neighbor.
What do you need to change in your heart that is filthy? Living in a world surrounded by dirt is making me really dirty, how can we give a nation a shower and a good clean!? I think it starts with us as individuals.
Re-evaluate your heart and balance it up. Being clean is such a great feeling. Who has a shower then decides to jump in the mud because it is better? Let's lift our standards for our family's and our children's sake!
No more immorality, no more rapes, no more stealing, no more adultery, no more murders, no more slander, no more selfishness, no more gossip, no more hate...!!
"Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial.
[1 Corinthians 6:11-13]
