Defining Society’s Ills

Jesus

I will not be silent. I will not hold back my words. The world’s leaders are to blame. They have not spoken my words nor led the people in my ways. They do not invoke my name nor call me to guide their decisions. They have compromised the truth and taught others to do so. Why has this happened?

Those nations that formerly invoked my name have cast me aside. “We will not walk the ways of the Lord”. You have chosen your own paths, sacrificing truth on the altar of your pleasures and offering incense to your gods of prosperity.

You have released forces that were always forbidden and you have removed walls that gave you protection. “Why do we need to keep these laws?” you asked. Then you proceeded to change what I had established. These are the ills that I will speak to.

A wall crumbles because it was supposed to be built of cement but other materials were used. A house collapses because the true and solid foundation was never set in place. These are the true difficulties. For so long, the foundations of society have been poorly constructed.

One by one the restraining walls of God’s law have been torn down. “Why do we need these limits?” you say. O world leaders, you have taken powers into your own hands that are illicit. You have forged laws that contradict God’s laws. You have brought forth a people who can only walk in darkness.
