Celestial Fire Going Out

     A television show came on at the dinner hour and blasted out a derogatory statement about a male athlete with crude language to go along with it. I couldn't believe what I was hearing! What has happen to America? Why are we allowing or condoning this type of conduct on our airways, in our streets, and on our school grounds? 

     We have taken on the philosophy that everyone has a right to do, say, or act in any way they so desire. This type of careless "freedom" leads to the destruction of peoples, communities, and nations. We must have some boundaries or all walls will be breached. 

     George Washington, one of our founding fathers and first president said, "Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience." Our Heavenly Father told us through Proverbs 14:34, "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people."
