RE: The Meaning of the Gettysburg Address
Idealogies cost thousands of people their lives, but what is the cost if we have no ideals?
If you have ever read the book of Judges, you read of a period of chaos and turmoil. The reason for this is summed up in the last passage of the book 21:25, "In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit." The book tells what happens to a people when they loose direction, purpose, ideals, and reject the source of their moral direction (God). So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
