The Americans?

[Gene C]

From my study of history, ususally a civilization goes into decline when there moral values go into decline, and it is partly because of the leaders who have limited or no moral values. The govenment becomes corupt the economy goes kaput. When they turn back to God, things improve. This is one of the lessons taught in the book of Judges and Isaiah in the Bible.

History repeats itself. Ashley posted in April 15, 2003 thread part of a quote by President Lincoln, and Roger posted the whole thing. ".....we know how to save the Union....." It's a simple answer. For some people it's to simple an answer to complicated issues. We saw the answer in Boston when people rushed in, overcoming there concern for their own personal safety, to help family and even strangers. "Love your neighbor as yourself" Jesus said this was the second most important commandment. The first was to love God with all your heart and mind. The Bible is not hard to understand. What you understand can be hard. You see some of these thoughts progressing in President Lincoln's writing as the years go by.
