Your post is quite good. The problem, as I see it, is that we have allowed the emphasis and abuse of SEX to become endemic in our society....precisely because we did not understand how GOOD and PROTECTIVE God’s commandments are. The wrong ideas of sex began slowly to warm up (think of the frog sitting in a pan of cooking water....tepid at the beginning) in our printed media and then via TV and radio (with advertising)...until it has become a raging fire seen almost everywhere. That fire is now spreading pornography and perversion across the planet. Love became defined as sex and the notion of divorce mushroomed as many could not get enough satisfactory sex with one partner for life. Sexual sin has run rampant and even encouraged the idea of abortion as a way to avoid the consequences of that sin...in addition to the most depraved versions of sex that we now see.
WE desperately need God’s help to reform our culture and I am CONVINCED that our economic woes are merely another part of our turning our backs on God and His ways in our society.
“WE desperately need God’s help to reform our culture and I am CONVINCED that our economic woes are merely another part of our turning our backs on God and His ways in our society.”
Amen!!!
But I think you hit it out of the ballpark with this line:
"Love became defined as sex and the notion of divorce mushroomed as many could not get enough satisfactory sex with one partner for life."
That's a veritable home run with the bases loaded.
