When Abraham Lincoln was introduced to author Harriet Beecher Stowe, he reportedly said that she was the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war.
Although President Lincolns comment wasnt entirely serious, Stowes novel Uncle Toms Cabin was instrumental in abolishing slavery in the US. Its graphic depiction of racism and the injustice of slavery helped lead to the start of civil war. Ultimately, Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation declared that all slaves shall be free. Thus, Stowes novel helped to change a nations moral compass.
Centuries earlier, King Solomon was told about what would change the moral compass of Gods people Israel. It was to start with humility and confession. The Lord told Solomon: If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land (2 Chron. 7:14).
As a Christian community, we should first take an inventory of our own personal lives. As we humbly seek God in prayer and repentance of sin, changes begin in our lives. God may then use us to change a nations moral compass.
Just wanted to say again how cute all your dust bunnies were last night!
Some people try to lure them out and set them free and that is too inefficient.
