Devolution: Civilization In Retreat

Common Sense Commentary: "Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward." Isa.1:4

Whatever happened to decency, modesty, dignity and integrity?  I am so thankful to be old enough to remember a kinder, happier, more patriotic America.  If I had not lived during those years, 1930's and slowing through the 1970's, I wouldn't know such times were possible ... but they were and still are possible. Somehow, civilization retreated and barbarism filled the vacuum and went high-tech. It's as if the devil took the steering wheel of our country and is speeding  toward a brick wall.  So many things have improved in science, medicine, technology, food, shelter and nearly everything except human nature which seems to be in devolution.  A large segment of our population appears to be devolving from a higher life form to a lower... from people to monkeys... to rats eating up the people's homes, food and resources.... leaving only their droppings.   The condition of our nation, today, our leadership, politicians, academicians and naked, welfare hunter gatherers of other people's stuff,  makes me wonder if humanity is devolving rather than evolving. I've never believed in evolution but I am considering devolution as a real possibility. 

  "But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward." Jer.7:24

I remember when people thought it important to keep  their word, pay their bills, worked for a living, respected our flag, protected and corrected all children, did not curse in public, were married to the man or woman they lived with, and if they were homosexual they kept it in the closet and didn't brag about it.  I only remember one girl who got pregnant in the high school I attended.  Public businesses did what they said they would do and cared about their customers. Practically all school teachers believed in God and went to church.  Everyone said "please, thank you" and "pardon me".  All that has changed.    "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." 2 Tim.3:13.   Civilization is in retreat and devolution.  It must be about time for Jesus.... thank goodness.
