“Me” Is Now Everything!

Share with your friends on Facebook

It is impossible to have a moral community or a nation without faith in God.  Without faith in God everything rapidly comes down to “me,” and “me” alone is meaningless. 

Today Americans have stopped acting in terms of their own moral, ethical and religious beliefs and principles. They’ve stopped acting on what they knew was right and the “me” has become the measure of everything. 

However, moral societies are the only ones that work. If anyone thinks there is not a direct and invaluable relationship between personal integrity in a society and that society’s prosperity, that person has simply not studied history. And this should not surprise us. 

Great moral societies are built upon faith in God, honor, trust, and the law. They blossom because they are harmonious and people love or at least respect their fellow citizens.  They have a common belief in something beyond themselves. It simplifies life immensely. You do not waste and spend your days fighting for turf, for privilege, for money and power over your fellow citizens. 

Alexis de Tocqueville said it best when he realized even at the very beginning of our national life, “America is great because America is good. If America ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”

Thanks to Georgia Anne Geyer for these ideas. 

How will YOU concretely talk about the need for honor, honesty, integrity, the law and faith in God in YOUR conversations with others?

AN HONEST PERSON IS THE NOBLEST WORK OF GOD!
